Shocker

After getting the retro carded Shocker I wasn't happy with the paint or lack thereof. The pale mustard yellow wasn't to my liking either. For a solution I applied a Testors mahogany wash to the yellow areas which I used to fill in the quilted lines, and it had the added benefit of tinting the yellow to a more pleasing color. I also applied a black wash to the brown areas of the costume, and I touched up the brown areas that had missing paint.

Very nice. Has a more of a realistic quality to it than most of the Gundam marker Shocker customs we've been seeing lately.

Thanks 🙂 I thought about going the Gundam marker route as well, I even bought the marker. But I just wasn't feeling it, so I decided to go with washes instead. I'm glad that I did it does have a more natural feel to it. I ended up putting a couple of coats extra with a fine tip brush into the quilted line areas after the first wash for a darker tone, but if you prefer a lighter color you don't have to put that many on it.

Similar to the Retro Electro, they made this version bigger than the original. It kinda pans out cuz regardless of what the official stats were, these characters were were drawn much more "manly" by artist like John Romita, Mike Zeck and Sal Buscema. I was actually good with the original one though that one even came out a bit large. I'm glad to have this one as well, but it wasn't really necessary. It wasn't too hard to find and it's a fine figure by action figure standards today. Not a "must have", but I'm happy to have it.
