another prototype... Shock Berserker

[greyloch]

A couple of folks on the board also have this one as well.





I like the more yellow body and dark black accessories (esp. the sword!) compared to the retail release.

Only problem I have with it is that it doesn't like to stand up - like it's not balanced very well.

Photo tech stuff: again, ran the images thru Photoshop to adjust levels, curves, and brightness/contrast. Then added a semi-transparent gradient layer and painted a "mask" on the image of the figure to make it "pop" out. The gradient layer lets some of the shadows come thru but hides a lot of the actual background.

Black sword is cool. What's up with the triple piece that holds the electricity? I have 7 SB's and don't remember that piece. Must be prototype only, huh?

[Grayfox]

Yeah, it's a proto only piece. I'd love to own it though. I think it's neat. It would've added a little something to SB imo.

I also prefer this more yellow plastic to the one that was used.

This is one of the few times where the prototype is by far superior to the actual final product. I'd have put that 3 socket circle to a lot of custom use.... oh well.....

~SS~

That's what I was thinking. The bash potential of that piece is great.

[Neocaledonian]

Pretty cool! Thank you for posting those protoype images.

That's pretty cool, I remember seeing it on here a while back. The original Shock Berserker would have been a lot better if it included that one triple socket piece.

[greyloch]

Yeah, that other Shock Berserker prototype was mine as well. That one was a funky neon-green and mid-gray colored. The triple socket piece - I guess it could be made into like a back-pack for an "Iron" Spider-Man custom (in the comics, Spidey briefly had a suit given to him by Iron Man & the suit had 3 mechanical arms/stingers).

You just never know what you'll find popping up for sale on eBay.

Now if we could only get the prototype Mecha Shell out on the market... somehow. Hmmm....

[Spark]

Ah yes. I'm quite a spidey fan myself. ;D You're talking about this one, 'Iron-Spidey', no?
I'd like to see some different Spidey customs, I remember one a while back. Sympiote Spidey would be cool. And a Silver Spidey one. Okay, I'll stop now. ^.^
