Thanks! Definitely having fun with it, not even always because I’m trying to do something random, a lot of times it’s just actively avoiding trying to redo figures I already have from Hasbro or the Club. Typically only try and redo the ones that really need it like Iceberg.

I agree I really like the 25th builds. I used them on the majority of my MASK customs and still use them at times. They are true 3.75 unlike now where everything is going more 4 inch scale. Using them allows for same scale but different sizes which is true in cartoons and real life. I like the variety it gives.
The 25th Stalker while having its flaws is still my go to Stalker. I think it did the best at capturing the ARAH Stalker likeness. Love the group shot of all the versions you always take.
Hahaha. Now you have me trying to think of a custom on my list that has NO bright accents. .... .... umm, there’s gonna be someone like that again eventually! Definitely not tomorrow’s entry pending his paint sealing to expectations!
Yeah, I definitely still really like the 25th stuff. Some are dated, can’t hold their weapons or sit in vehicles but they have a fun charm to them. Plus like you said, gives the figures some variances in height, I know we didn’t have it as kids so it doesn’t bother me too much but cool to have some guys who are a little taller or shorter.
25th Stalker is still my go-to for the character. Never felt the need to make a custom of him because I just realty like that figure, same for the more yellow version and now this crazy Funskool one.
Thanks! Love pulling the different versions off the shelves to see how they all look together!

Best 4" figure representation of the character in my book!

It's well established by now (IMO at least - disclaimer in light of recent unsettling posts on other 'Tank threads) that this thread is the place to turn to when something new, fresh and vibrant is needed!
Thank you for posting another picture of Jill Valentine...I think I'm in love!
Missed responding to your earlier comment.
You should definitely take a stab at her! You always have really great gear up ideas so would be cool to see what direction you went in. Definitely want to do some more characters from the games, just such a cool cast to pull from.
Thanks! I appreciate it! Still working on my sculpting but I was really proud of those shoulder pieces I did which I felt brought the whole package together. Awesome to see she’s a hit!
Haha, same, love the Funskool group, just such fun and random colors to work with!
Appreciate that! Definitely like to keep things light and fun in this thread. Really love tackling some of the real world looking Joe’s / characters but I’ll never turn down the chance to just make a random colorful fun thing that jumps off the shelf because the colors are so vibrant either. Always fun to see where everyone leans with their style in the custom threads and I don’t mind being one of the colorful / neon guys in the group. Haha.
Lmao, I was definitely getting that last shot with Jill and the other military police style Joe’s in before she went on a shelf. That’s my STARS team for now until I get some other RE figures done.

Thanks! Appreciate it, as always.
Haha, Hasbro was definitely thinking, “let’s give this kid a bright neon Joe to play with while he drinks his Surge and watches the Fresh Prince!” Made cleanup easy too because I never lost any of their weapons or figure stands!
I have no idea what Funskool was thinking! Haha. Their stuff is just so randomly colored that I really do think they spun the color wheel and just went with whatever it landed on.
