Marvel Crisis Protocol: Luke Cage (Weekend of Cage!)

Marvel Crisis Protocol: Luke Cage

What better way to follow up a post about Luke Cage than with… another post about Luke Cage? This model is the Marvel Crisis Protocol version, and is the one that motivated me to do this little batch paint of Luke Cage models. Specifically, after seeing it painted by friend of the Bitz Box, Argentbadger over on his own blog, The Bovine Overlord.

I do like this model. It has a grounded and steadfast look that so many of the Crisis Protocol models mack as they’re seemingly all too busy backflipping over exploding tactical rocks with their heads disappearing up their own backsides while connected to their bases with a 0.5mm twig of plastic

Cage’s model here isn’t even in a “come at me, bro” pose. It’s simply a folded arms stare. Projecting confidence and power. (man!)

He’s probabaly also banned in Russia presently due to his outrageous costume…

Marvel Zombies: Luke Cage – Hero Version and Zombie Version (Weekend of Cage!)

Marvel Zombies: Luke Cage - Hero Version and Zombie Version

Today we kick off what I’m calling The Weekend of Cage with this pair of models from Marvel Zombies – we have both of the versions of The Artist Formerly Known As Power Man from the Kickstarter’s many extras.

Marvel Zombies: Luke Cage - Hero Version and Zombie Version

As a kid, I had a single issue of Power Man and Iron Fist that someone had randomly given me, but I never liked the comic nor the characters. I mean, not too surprising for a little kid because, they weren’t Donald Duck or Spider-Man or Archie, so, y’know… I still don’t know much about Luke Cage these days, but I do know he no longer goes by the Power Man moniker and he was on Netflix for a time. Iron Fist doesn’t feature in the Marvel Zombies game, but he does have a little cameo here…

As with the other Marvel Zombies figures, these two are also from a Zombie Game so they should therefore qualify for Dave Stone’s Apocalypse Me 2023 challenge as well.
