In the 1980's, a lot of the X-Men got new looks. Wolverine got his brown and tan costume, Storm got a mohawk - even Professor X wore a bright yellow jumpsuit for a time. And Colossus got this new outfit, inspired by Russian design.

I always liked this look for him. His traditional yellow/red costume feels too loud and circus-like for me. This costume,
with it's simple colors and lines, puts the emphasis on the interesting visual of his organic metal skin.

The Recipe

Colossus is made from a repainted Colossus Minimate. His chest details are from a water-transfer decal.
