I attended the Jersey Model fair recently and got quite a good haul of kits I was looking for for a while. The one that Thought I would never see of a reasonable price is the Horizon 1/8 Solid Resin kit for Mr. Freeze. This was an amazing find to me honestly tired looking for it on ebay and could never find it.

Here are some up close images of this kit which looks awesome the best part about this to is that this still had the vacuumed formed helmet and the metal freeze rays as well as the goggles. Also forgot to mention that the base for this kit is killer as well.

I did some works on this kit and kinda cleaned up the head to test fit the head and cleaned up the name plate

See you next update.
 
UPDATE TIME:
I haven't been here in a long time and I have some updates for this kit in general. I actually started to pin this kit as well as used a Dremel to get rid of the crazy mold line that was apparent throughout the whole body of the kit.

I also did a few modifications on this kit, specifically the few little rounds pods on the armsI chose to dremel that off the wrists because since I am choosing to make him more like his animated self.

Lastly what I did was purchase a toy figure that is very much like this model kit as that I can use it a proxy of how I want to paint the kit.

Some more pictures of the figure parts to get ready for painting. I used the boil and pop method to get the figure ready then I put in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes to accelerate the "drying" process I then proceed drill 3 holes one into his crotch and the others into the undersides of pits. This process seemed to work for in help popping this figure I took many pictures in order to document how the gimmick of this figure worked so that when I put it back together I keep this gimmick working. While I was taking apart the lower half of this figure I didn't know how it was constructed and broke it in half but not too bad it's still fixable.
