Last year, Marvel launched Fear Itself, its first company-wide crossover/tie-in event since 2008's Secret Invasion. I won't bore you with the details, as they are readily available at the usual sites, but this is another Asgardian crossover event that plays out on planet Earth.
Essentially a reboot of Sin, the Red Skull's daughter, she assumes the guise of Skadi, the Serpent's Herald, upon discovering the Norse goddess's hammer. Subsequently, Sin/Skadi unleash the Serpent, and the remaining seven hammers plummet to Earth. They are found by hero and villain alike, and each one in turn becomes one of the Worthy, the Serpent's warlords.
Ben Grimm, bka The Thing, finds one of the hammers on Yancy St., and, upon lifting it, becomes the Worthy Angrir, The Breaker of Souls.
Angrir is the subject of this somewhat ambitious project. I intend to use the Horizon 1/6th scale vinyl figure of The Thing (HC018, sculpted by Moto Hata) as the base figure, and scratchbuild the relatively few mods to convert it to Angrir. The real challenge will be in the painting. . .
Stay tuned. . .
