Anti-Superhero Billy Butcher upgrade and The Boys Season 3 Predictions (updated) - Wed Aug 25, 2021 9:05 pm
Update: additional photos in Post 12.
For the review of the original set, see HERE.
Well, what can I say, I've pulled an ActionFigureMovies move and, after finding an extra Soo Soo Toys Mr Butcher set tropical shirt and jeans, experimented with recreating Billy using a TBLeague M33 body, which I figured was about the right build and stature for the character (you can see a comparison photo to the set figure farther down). I borrowed one of the heads, belt, and accessories, gave him a watch and a necklace to match the on-screen appearance, and some temporary boots (from ACI) that are an improvement in terms of stability and articulation, but not appearance (as I said, they are temporary). No special effects.
So here are a few photos of the reconstituted figure to start with.
Despite the restrictiveness of the long sleeves of the coat, the elbow bent is already better.
These poses with the crow bar were inspired by promotional images for the series.
And the cattle prod one is based on a still or set photo.
This one is based on a still.
Say goodbye to your Compound V if you get any closer! I will crush the rest of them, I swear!
He can wield the hammer much better, fitting it more easily in the softer plastic TBLeague hands, and without bending or twisting the relatively soft rubber handle of the hammer.
What's better than pounding away while buzzed?
Is that enough of a drill for you? Also based on still.
Oh, hello there, mate. What's wrong with your elbows? Are you sure the cattle prod is as effective as my crow bar?
I'm glad we got to discuss it over drinks.
Electrical drill it is!
Given the ending of Season 2 (no spoilers -- mostly), you may be wondering what Billy Butcher is likely to get himself into during Season 3. Well, some of that is pretty obvious, so here go some predictions.
First, his kid or not, he is going to be, despite his nihilistic nature, a pretty decent dad. Considering the circumstances...
I don't know how he will find the time, or the patience, or the knowledge, but I'm sure he'll pull it off...
And speaking of pulling it off, to the delight of our ladies, it seems that he has picked up an extra day (or is it night?) job...
... apparently to get close to a certain female crypto-supe villain...
That's it for the predictions, but I thought these showed off the more neutral head sculpt's remarkable likeness
and realism.
What do you think?
