Art Design: A vacu-carded action figure which is heavy on the toxic greens.
Headsculpt: Professor Gangrene is an assistant scientist to Dr. X, the arch enemy of Action Man. One of the distinguishing characteristics of most villains is that they cannot get along with anyone. Teamwork is usually out of the question. On the other hand, being the assistant to another bad scientist is probably a kind of menace in itself. Imagine if all the mad scientists opened some kind of health clinic? Lower prices for medical care, but are they going to cure you or kill you??
Figure: This body style should be called LAME-O. The right arm only moves up and down at the shoulder, and the left arm moves as the trigger that changes Gangrene's face from Ugly to Fugly. So Gangrene looks like an excellent science fiction mutant but he is not very articulated. Gangrene looks like Lon Chaney, Jr. at the end of his career when he played the Lab Assistant in a few really bad horror movies. The legs on Gangrene are the standard Action Man style and bend at the knees and ankles.
Gear: Green pants, big Frankenstein style boots, and a green laser gun. The shirt, radiation guard around his neck (it is not a helmet), etc. are all molded on. If you have the 1:6 scale HULK, then Professor Gangrene could play THE LEADER, as he has the same general appearance.
Overall: Prof. Gangrene is for collectors of villains; fans of 1950s style science-fiction movies, and anyone who wants to add a hideous creature to their platoon of baddies. Gangrene retails for $15. in Europe and from online dealers.
