Hello there, may I introduce you to my latest Action Figure MOC, who is a self-made character which I have taken a particular liking to, named Vladimir Veyron. You might barely recognise him as my usual forum avatar. As with many of my MOC's, he comes with a backstory:

The CarBorgs are a kingdom of intelligent biomechanical cyborgs whose faces resemble that of the front ends of various human creations commonly known as cars, and can take almost any form imaginable, though they most typically take humanoid forms. These creatures are grouped according to the make of car their faces derive from. Among the most noble, ancient and prestigious of all the CarBorg "makes" are the Ettoréans (those with faces based on Bugattis), often nicknamed "BugBorgs". Within this grouping includes the enormously powerful "Veyronians", a very small race of noble artisans and empire-conquering warriors. The Veyronian race is led by Vladimir Veyron, a stout one-eyed artisan-turned-warrior with enormous chest muscles and heavy battle scarring, and is proficient with all manner of weapons from axes to enormous gatling guns.

I've had several versions of this figure, though this my first version that is almost entirely purist (bar the decal I used for his mouth), all previous versions had a custom moulded head and armour.

Well, that's it for now, I hope you liked it

Interesting creation. How stable is he on those legs? And where did you get the new Chima Ice claws?

Thanks Takanuinuva, I admit that this isn't the most stable version of the figure, the tail has to rest on the floor also since the torso is bulky. the head alone has more than 100 parts (making it very heavy) and it is basically standing on it's toes otherwise.

The Chima ice claws were borrowed from the ice vehicle in 70146 Flying Phoenix Fire Temple, which I had received yesterday after buying it online. I found them to be just the right shape to act as rudimentary pauldrons in this case, but the problem is now I want to get more

I like this guy, but I don't know why... maybe because of interesting head and gear.
