I really have to commend Mattel. Sure, they've made some missteps, but I know the design team tries really hard to find creative ways to make the characters we want and still meet a budget. Of course, sometimes that means we get a great Kilowog head sculpt on a tiny little body. That's okay with me. I can fix that. At least I didn't have to sculpt the head!

Obviously I used the Mattel Kilowog head. For the body, I chose the JLU Aquaman figure as a base. Studying Kilowog's appearance on the show, I found his body is large, but not as large as a character like Bane or AMAZO. The Aquaman figure is in a scale of his own, so his overall size fit Kilowog's requirements nicely. I swapped Aquaman's forearms with those of Martian Manhunter. The joints are interchangable and easy to swap when heat is applied.

The only additional sculpting required was the wide neck.

I wasn't happy with the existing Green Lantern logos available, so I made my own in Illustrator. See below to download an appropriately sized version for your own projects.
