Beast has been on the project’s list for close to two years now. When I first began customizing the X-Men Evolution characters, I knew I wanted to use a Juggernaut figure to make Beast, but it wasn’t until I saw Phil Ramirez’s Beast prototype on Julius Marx’s site that it all really came together.
For the most part, Beast is just a heavily reworked X-Men Evolution Juggernaut. I sliced apart the forearms and extended them using a metal support rod. I did the same for the calves and feet. All of Juggernaut’s armor had to be sanded down. This left the surface of the figure a mess, but luckily Magic Sculpt helped smooth out all rough spots. As you can see from the photo above, I used a *lot* of Magic Sculpt.
Anyway, Beast is now finally complete. Due to his blue coloring, he pops out really nice amongst the other figures on the shelf.
