For the folks that don't know Niles Gray aka
Tribe One is an incredibly awesome rapper as well as a very good friend of mine. He even wrote the theme song to
Earth's Mightiest Podcast. So earlier in the year his girlfriend contacted me about making a Tribe One action figure for his birthday. She wanted a super hero version of him. She wanted to make sure he had a mic with something Devil Dinosaur-ish (that's his favorite comic book character ever).

So I talked to my fellow Earth's Mightiest Podcast co-host
Alex to do the super hero design and this is the awesomeness that he came up with. Notice the T and O logo design from
Rusty Shackles.
So on to the action figure. I ordered a Fisher Price T-rex with a poorly places trigger for chomping action. The funny thing is that I ordered it from Ebay only to find out it's missing an arm! So of course the only thing to do is to replace the arm with a gun! The actual Tribe One action figure was made using a Marvel Legends Drax figure with a combination of a Black Panther collar and Dr. Doom cape. I really didn't have the time to make the cape exactly how Alex drew it, but I think I got the point across.
