Hello. I'm looking for two figures that can come as close as possible to matching these parameters: 1) would be a giant hulking brute with pull down cangol style cap, as close to my favorite comic (the Goon) as possible. Visual reference (the chap with the wrench):
2) the next one would be renowned physicist Stephen Hawking, in wheelchair. Visual reference:
Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance for your assistance. V/R Walt O'Hara |

This guy would need a hat, (and has a bit of a paunch) but he seems pretty close to me.

Black Cat Bases sells empty wheelchairs as a starting point, they also have a mad scientist in one, but I think it would be too much work to convert to Hawking. The same for Pulp Figures' one. |

Mega Minis has a guy in a wheelchair in their Modern Civilians range. link The sculpts are not the best, but they have some interesting non-combatant types. |

Pulp Figures has a scienctist set with an einstein and a chap in a wheel chair. He's more akin to Prof-X, but some clever putty work and he can be an MC Hawkings (look that one up) |

Old Glory has a gent in awheelchair in one of their Superfigs civilian packs, but he looks more like Professor Xavier than Hawkings, and the wheelchair itself is rather primitive looking. |

For the Goon, you might be able to get close with Eureka's Victorian Comic Thugs link |

Hmmm, how about a head swap with the noggin donated by one of Murch's thugs: pulpfigures.com/products/view/69 pulpfigures.com/products/view/71 and the body coming from Old Glory's Ox here? link The pants are a little off, but he's huge enough to make a fine 28mm scale Goon, and I know from past experience he takes head swaps from regular humans types well. His normal head is about normal size, hence the pinhead look on his huge body. |

How about the Atomic cafe 57 mutant |
