Ever since I saw Tim’s, Sean’s, and others take on the o-ring He-Man, I knew I needed to try my own. I’m no figure customizer or painter, so I’m going basic and sticking to my strengths.
Had a Big Boa body just waiting for a Ken Masters head. |

Dragged the fam to the Flea yesterday and dug out Ken. All looked good, but in the car something was off. No back screw? No hip action? Sent a message to a buddy who lets me know it’s the Street Fighter version, not Joe. Weird. Looks to be the same head mold, although a little less golden blond.
Well... Ken gets tossed through the bandsaw! |

Little worried when I saw the neck, but no problem. Going to limit modifications to his chest straps, just adding the cross and squares. Little paint on that, belt, and boots. Create a sword and... This may just work.

Thanks guys,
Pony, Skeletor is on my short list. I’ve got a Bulky Corps torso and arms ready along with a Zartan hood. Just need a 1:18 skull. Anyone? Marine, yup, that is my childhood shield and chest thing. It’s a little big, but not giant. I no longer have the figure or sword, but I do have Greyskull. Dusty, I like simple. It’s all about the Ken Head. Add a bare chest and you have He-Man! |

Nice Wazard, nice!
The boy and I did some planning. Now we just need to transfer our amazing sketches to plastic. I’ve got some thin aluminum that I’ve been looking to grind a sword from also. This may be just the project. Figure first though. |

Took a few tries to get that chest cross right.
