Custom EL MUERTO, The Aztec Zombie Action Figure!! NEW PICS!!

Hello Everyone, I don't post that often, but I hope to interact more, so here's my first Custom/Kit Bash in 1/6 scale ever.

It's from an indie comic book called El Muerto (www.elmuerto.com) created by Javier Hernandez, basically the storyline is this: Young Diego de la Muerte is celebrating his 21st anniversary on his way to a Day of the Dead celebration he crashes and and is abducted by Mitlantecuhtli (God of the Dead) and Tezcatlipoca (The smoking mirror) and is sacrificed by Mitlantecuhtli (heart extraction and all that...). Then Tezcatlipoca sends him back to earth with an unknown fate and secret powers.
Since he died in his Dia de Muertos Outfit, the Aztec Zombie lurks through the streets of L.A. in search of his past, his friends, his love...and his destiny, sporting his El Muerto mariachi suit and makeup!

Special Credit to: Michael, from Old Days of Yore for the Mariachi suit, and to Dave from the Patch Hut for the bone and skull pathes.

Here it is:

...there's alot of Undead comic book characters out there, so, not really, besides, The Crow is more about Revenge, while El Muerto is more about Love and Destiny...
