Do you know what happens when a Toad gets hit by lightning?

I’ve finished another mini for the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, to accompany Blob that I previously painted, Toad:


He’s another early Heroclix sculpt, so some of the details are kind of rough, but honestly I think that they have so much charm that I love them regardless.

For all my claims of rough sculpting though, look at that surprisingly defined musculature:

I can only assume that as well as eating flies Toad has a particularly structured workout regimen.

This brings my total of finished Brotherhood of Evil Mutants to three of the four needed for a regular sized game of Super Mission Force (including the Scarlet Witch that I painted way back when), although my initial plan is to paint up a couple of alternate groups - one being more ‘mooks’ like Blob and Toad, and another being ‘Magneto and his children’, with other key characters that can be swapped in as needed before then spiralling off into weirder foes as they take my fancy. 

This is probably why this project is taking so long though, I should maybe have painted individual minis in isolation as they took my fancy (as I generally have with the rest of my superhero stuff), but I can’t help getting carried away with something like this…

Finishing him brings the Tally to:

6 vs 24 = -18

Next - more!
