In my Joeverse Croc Master didn't die on the freighter. He was pulled to safety by his trusty salt water crocs. Severely wounded and disfigured Croc Master had his missing flesh replaced by that of a croc and his eyes relaced with an unknown reptiles eyes. Although the back alley doctor who did the operation never believed it would work, he felt like practicing his twisted brand of "medicine" on the deranged and enraged CM. The croc skin took but only due to the high doses of meds CM must now take. It's these same meds that will forever whittle away at CM's mind until all that's left is a shell of a man who thinks he is a croc.

Needless to say he has no love for Cobra anymore. CM has spent all his time in seclusion training his beloved reptiles to kill the boys in blue, and I don't mean cops. He also has become more croclike in nature. No longer lingering in tepid baths, CM can now be found in the very same swamps as his partners (he no longer considers crocs his pets).

Here's what he looks like now. Let me know what you think. The back scales look much better in person. I'm actually quite happy with them.

I LIKE that idea! definitely weird, and nicely disturbing......

whatever you go with (that idea or something else creepy), make sure he maintains a neat inhuman skin tone like the 2nd version had.

I'd definitely go with a grey/green skin, kinda like what Darth Bane's got going on.

I've been trying to match it but gave up. I'm not happy with it yet at all so I'll be working on this over the next couple days.

So I have worked a bit on Croc Master. I used the lower legs off the SW figure I took the head from (Darth Bane) and the gloves. I had to do knee surgery and wrist surgery to get them to work but they do. The lower legs make him stand a whole head taller than the other figs. I am adding to his shoulders to bulk him up a bit.

Thanks everyone. I did paint the head, I just couldn't match it. I'm finally finished with it and damn happy too. I'll try to post pics tonight. I've been so busy with my thesis, due tomorrow at 6pm, that I haven't done much of anything else.

Man my Thesis is more a project reflecting on my two years as a teacher. It's up to 150 pages so far. I only have one section left to complete, I'm almost done as I type this. I think 2-3 hours more and I'll be free.
