This is a commission I just did. They were a bit more work than I had anticipated, but I have to say I am rather pleased with the outcome.
The client wanted them more cartoon accurate and asked for darker/muted colors and even the axes to be bone. The sword I added myself because they wanted some sort of knife or sword for Golobulus (not just the time worm). I sculpted Golobulus' breastplate, vambrace, and the edging on the shoulder pad, as well as the Royal Guards' boots, feet and armbands. I also made the Guards' blue eyes glossy to look more like insect eyes/lenses. Golobulus and a pair of his Royal Guards... Golobulus... Royal Guard... Pair of Royal Guards.. Close up of Glolobulus' shoulder pad... Close up of Glolobulus' Sword... Close up of Glolobulus' blaster... Close up of the Royal Guards' bone axes... ~ Golobulus Recipe ~ Head: Cast Upper Torso: BFS HACKS Berserker + sculpted breastplate Rest of Figure: BFS HACKS Berserker Blaster: Golobulus Shoulder Pad: Iron Grenadier + Sculpting Vambrace: Mercenary Wraith + Sculpting Sword: Cast sword + modding (I think it is Saba, the White Ranger's sword.) ~ Royal Guards Recipe ~ Head: Cast Torso: Snake-Eyes w/ Royal Guard torso (cut off & Dremeled out to fit over Snake-Eyes torso) Belt & Crotch Armor: Royal Guard (Cut off and Dremeled out to fit over Snake-Eyes' waist/crotch) Upper Arms: Snake-Eyes w/ pouches cut off + Sculpted armbands Lower Arms: Snake-Eyes shaved down Forearm Armor: Royal Guard (cut off, dremeled down and drilled out to fit over lower arms) Hands: Snake-Eyes Thighs: Royal Guard Lower Legs: Zartan + Sculpting Feet: Zartan + Sculpting Cape: Dr. Mindbender Axe: Royal Guard Pistol: Royal Guard Enjoy!

Hands down, this is some of the best work I have ever seen. Just curious, but what would you charge to do another set of these?

Very happy with the results, Mythic!
One of the biggest gaps in modern era is now filled on the shelf: Thanks for posting the recipes, too. From the commissioner's perspective: Initially it was challenging to find a customizer who would do even just a Golobulus, yet it happened that Mythic was not only interested and willing but was open to tackling the pair of Royal Guards I was hoping to commission around the same time. Mythic went above and beyond with the custom sculpt-work. I had no idea he would put so much sculpting effort into the commission. I don't think either of us realized it up front, else we would have discussed it more ahead of time. I would have been okay with a simpler outcome, but I'm stoked by how it turned out and very pleased to have such a nice Cobra La team on the shelf!

Kudos on a job well done! And I don't even care for the whole Cobra-La story/aspect of the Joe (cartoon) Universe...
