This thread's got some excellent pieces in it, man! I may not care for the neon colors (which I say as someone born years after the 82-94 run, and who typically loves gaudy stuff), but your 90s customs are all really sharp.
Sidenote, anyone else ever think it's weird that Joe went neon in the 90s, when it's the 80s everybody remembers for neon, animal prints, and pink? Alley Viper H.E.A.T. Viper Secto Viper Voltar Airtight Backstop Blowtorch Chuckles Lightfoot Psyche Out *Sci-Fi * Windmill

Really interested to see how many of these guys they touch with the 6” line. Was surprised Alley Viper was on the initial list and would be awesome to see a new spin on Sci-Fi & Airtight. Love the original versions of them.

It is interesting to think about though, why the older stuff gets a pass from some for similar offenses as the later stuff. Probably down to it just being rarer back then. |

————- Up next is a character whose name I thought was dumb but whose figure I absolutely loved. The design, colors, I don’t know what it was but everything about the character just worked fro me growing up and it’s still the same for me today. Another full Marauder build, learned quite a bit about painting neon since I did this guy so like my Deep Six, I may need to redo his neon yellow at some point to make everything pop a little more. I also started mixing paint since then so I can definitely get the respirator to match too. For now though, absolutely love this build and how he came out. So much fun having this guy on the shelf.

I always appreciate a good Ice Cream Soldier. Kudos on the discipline to paint all that yellow over a black base. Yikes!

Haha, thanks! If I only knew then what I know now about neon paint he would have been a lot easier to do. When I posted my Eco Warriors, Rob asked how much neon paint I used and the answer was something like, “not that much.” For this guy though, haha, used a ton of my bottle.

Haha, the mid 90’s are forcing me to use yellow so much that I don’t even complain about it anymore. The white for Iceberg was so much more annoying than any of the recent yellows.

I am no fan of the Ice Cream Soldier, but that being said, you nailed the look with your MTF custom. I have to give you kudos for that! And yeah, that yellow paint... you must have a lot of patience!
