Shiny Mewtwo

Mewtwo strikes back! Mewtwo is a legendary Pokémon artificially created from the genes of Mew. Known as the Genetic Pokemon, it possesses powerful psychic abilities. It is designed to be a vicious, unyielding fighter whose creators failed to endow it with a compassionate heart. While normally Mewtwo has a purple tail and eyes, a rare shiny Mewtwo is lime green instead. It is also a playable character in the Super Smash Brothers series, and is one of my personal favorite fighters.

 

I built this a couple of years ago with the goal of greatly improving my old Mewtwo MOC from 2015. It's larger, its pose is better, its shaping is better, I'm overall much more proud of this model. I chose this scale after deciding on a good design for the hand, and basing everything else on that. I chose to make it shiny because I have many more lime green pieces than purple. Another improvement on my old design is that it stands in an environment surrounded by stalagmites, giving the impression it is preparing for a battle against a trainer in Cerulean Cave, where Mewtwo can be found in the Kanto region.
