Hey Guys. Being a POOR college student and a MOC collector, I cant afford to buy the real deal...so I started buying mint loose vintage figures and custom carding them. Of course, I put my own spin on them to personalize them a little. I also had to recreate the missing artwork covered by the original bubble backing and game offer graphics. Anyways, heres two of my recent acqusitions. Ill post them as I get them. Right now Im focusing on 1985 and 1986 (the best years IMO!)

Wow! Those are so cool! I actually prefer the look of those to the originals, with the picture of the character on the back above the file card... Kudos on a job well done, man!

Wow, very cool. That is some great work. As it was always cool to look at the backs of the cards to see what other figures you could get, I really like what you have done too. Hope to see some more.
