@Eli – That Multiplex figure is sooooooo boss! Love it! Ever considered selling some of your custom figs?

nicely done custom! although there should be a missing arm variant since he got one of his arms blown off in the Suicide Squad during the Millennium story line back in the late 80s.

What’s awesome about this figure is how rendering that costume in three dimensions really spells out the absurdity of the design (His mouthpiece is an f’n noose, as are his bellbottom sleeves! How could I have missed that before?) while simultaneously reinforcing how wonderfully comic-booky that absurdity is in the best possible way. It’s so stupid, it’s stupefying– literally, by definition, I’m so astonished and shocked by this suit as to be unable to think or feel properly, and by “properly” I mean to criticize it as an anthropomorphication of hate crime, when what I “feel” like doing is gleefully cosplaying as Slipknot, complete with fake latex “naked” rib windows. Sexy bastard.

Thanks so much for kind words!

I have in fact done Multiplex previously:

Unfortunately he didn’t survive a house move. I want to redo him, but Killer Frost is next in line, and I’m also plotting a Black Bison (both are going to be tricky).

Hi James – Were you making your own joke, or questioning my “removable arm” portion of the post? If the latter, Slipknot’s arm was blown off in the 1980s during a Suicide Squad adventure. Ouch!

Detachable arm available? Sorry, I had to ask…

INCREDIBLE!!!

Really fantastic work. I would buy that in a second if it was mass-produced!

And since Firestorm’s rogues don’t have the greatest presence on toy shelves, I would love to see what Eli could do with characters like Killer Frost, Typhoon and Multiplex.

WOW, that is SHARP! Flawless details there. Looks better than most mass-market action figures. And it’s SLIPKNOT!
