Earlier today in another post I mentioned a video game called Dishonored. This game was made by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda. It's definitely one of my favorite games, thanks to the rich lore and story, the brilliant writing and voice acting, and the superb gameplay.
The sequel to this game is out in a couple weeks, so Funko released a few POP figurines of the main characters. They're great figures. But, they did not make a figure of one of the best characters from the original game: the guilt-ridden assassin Daud (The Knife of Dunwall). So, I set out to make my own POP using tutorials from action figure websites I frequent. Initially, I tried to make a posable custom action figure, but then I found out I am terrible at making those.

First, I repainted the hair from the head of a Punisher POP. This sat on my shelf for a few days while I tried to figure out what body I should use.
I was going to use a Firefly Malcom Reynolds figure body, but I found a Doctor Who War Doctor figure that would work better. Once that arrived, I painted the coat and gloves. I was conflicted about adding a sword, but I decided not to.

Then I removed the War Doctor head and attached the final one. This took a bit of work to get it to sit right (I had to remove the head after gluing it once because it was too far back and he kept tipping over). Finally, I glued on the ammo belt thing he has in the game (this was from a Diamond Select Van Helsing figure). And I was done!

It's definitely not as high quality as the ones Funko makes, but I'm pretty happy with it.
Thanks for reading!
