Custom Haggar and Cody by Grundy

Posted by: vader at 12:57 am on Thursday, November 30, 2006

Every video game fan must have at one point in their lives played “Final Fight” by Capcom. Touted as the “cousin” of the more popular Street Fighter, Final Fight is a classic beat ‘em up game that is set in the same SF continuity. There are several characters in the game and today, we are featuring 2 of them as rendered in plastic by Dodge Beltran (known online by most as Grundy).

Mike “Macho” Haggar
- is a former professional wrestler who becomes the mayor of Metro City. He first appeared in another game called Saturday Night Slam Masters but gained more popularity in Final Fight. He has also made cameo appearances in Street Fighter. His signature moves include the Backdrop, the Piledriver and the Spinning Clothesline. His favorite weapon is the lead pipe.

Recipe for Haggar
Head: SOTA SF Balrog (heavily re-sculpted with Apoxie)
Body: SOTA SF T-Hawk (re-sculpted traps and pecs)
Hands: SOTA SF M.Bison
Legs: SOTA SF Balrog (sculpted calves)
Boot Cuffs and Feet: Hulk Classics Joe Fix-it
Accesories:

  • Pipe- from fodder bin
  • Belt- Strap from Ladies shoes (Grundy credits his wife who hooked him up with them)

Cody Travers
- appeared in both Final Fight and Street Fighter. In the original Final Fight, Cody teams up with Mike Haggar to rescue his girlfriend, Jessica (who also happens to be Haggar’s daughter). He is a martial arts expert and is especially good with knives.

Recipe for Cody
Head: SOTA SF Ken (Alpha) head (hair was re-sculpted)
Body: SOTA SF Guile (muscle shirt dremmeled down)
Hands: SOTA SF Adon
Legs: SOTA SF Guile
Boot Cuffs: SOTA SF T-Hawk (trimmed to fit Guile’s calves)
Feet: SOTA SF Guile (re sculpted to make them look more like sneakers)
Accesories:

  • Knife- (taken from Moore Action Collectibles Nottingham’s accessories)

We will be featuring more of Grundy’s latest customs soon.

Amazing!
I’m an old Final Fight fan, and would really like to acquire one copy of your Haggar. Would that be possible? As the guy above me, I also live in Brazil.

Thanks a lot.

Hi there! You should pay more attention to your business in Brazil ’cause you seem to have a lot of customers there. I am a Brazilian as well and I would also like to have some information about your custom figures as well (particulary Cody).

You did an amazing job with the parts of other figures. I looks like an official Sota release (or even better)

Congratulations !!!
