Grid Iron was a figure I really liked when it came out... Although he got parted out for Frankenjoes later. I ignored the football aspect then, and I’m ignoring it now, so I guess he doesn’t look too much like himself, but I did try to preserve the original’s basic structure while interpreting for “realism”.

Really nice and realistic update. The Flint lower legs really adds with the gaters. Nice paint job on the vest too.

I really like your more realistic interpretation of how the character should look. I had really mixed feelings about the 1990 characters when they came out. Some I loved like Ambush, Pathfinder, Salvo, Freefall. Some I hated like Sub-Zero, Laser-Viper, etc. Others were in the middle ground, didn’t really know how I felt about them. Capt. Grid Iron was one of the middle ground characters. If he would have looked like your awesome custom I would have loved him.

That is a nice figure. The parts choices work well and the Woodland camo is superior. Great job all around.

This is everything that should have been the original character outline. You have hit it out of the park with the realism and kept him grounded other than selling the silly gimics like the other figures that started popping up in the Late 80s - Early 90s.
I tip my hat to you, Good Sir. Last edited by ALTEREDxVISION; 01-31-2019 at 10:12 AM.. |
