Alpha and the Omega Red
Part II - Parts
When selecting the base parts, my general philosophy is to use as few individual parts as I can to get a figure I can be happy with. With a complicated figure like Omega Red, I know that's going to be difficult. In addition, I know certain parts are going to have to be sculpted from scratch. But we'll worry about that later.
For now, we'll start with the lower body of an Infinity Challenge Sabretooth. I like the power and animation the legs of this figure bring. Plus, they're smooth and free of adornment, which means less shaving and sanding later. Assuming they'll match up, I'm also going to use Sabretooth's arms.
    To get the over muscled, barrel-chested look, I'm going to use a Legacy Demon for the upper body. In fact, after close observation, I'm also going to use the Demon's head after shaving off his ear fins and horns.  
In a shock to no one, I'm going to use the Infinity Challenge Constrictor's coils for Omega Red's carbonadium tentacles.

  And finally, I'm going to use a ponytail from Hypertime's Dove.
     
Now, I realize there are other things I'll need to make this a convincing Omega Red, but at this point I'm assuming those will all happen at the sculpting stage.
