Thanks! Always appreciate you making it in here to drop some comments when you do have a chance to hop on Hisstank for a bit. It is much appreciated! Super fun group of figures you listed to make so glad you enjoyed them all!

Haha, okay so this one was a non-Joe I’ve been planning to make for a long time. Was one of those guys that was on the list but I had just never had the push to get started on. Then seeing Flint_Rocks’ awesome MASK stuff, talking some MASK with him and laughing at the Hondo MacLean exchange between Flint, Dod Ears and myself....it just finally gave me that push to get started on one of my favorite non-Joe figures.
Big assist from Rob’s customs for the vest paint idea, he was the first who I saw really break up the paint on these armored vests by two-toning them and I loved the idea and use it when I can now.
So MASK was a huge toyline for me growing up. Loved it but mostly had pieces of the Series 1 stuff and complete versions of half of the releases from Series 2 and 3. I played with both Hondo figures growing up but Hurricane was the vehicle of his that I had with all of the pieces so I just gravitated towards that being the Hondo I used a lot. Plus Hurricane was just such an awesome vehicle!
So I got started, Marauder tan camo guy as the base, base coat dropped down and then I started on Hondo’s unique color scheme. So a mix for the main jumpsuit, mix for the blue parts, spice for the orange / yellow parts and then I thought the Boss Fight blank head looked the most like Hondo so I moved forward with painting the hair, eyes and brows on that. Has a case of the angry eyes but they came out looking decent on my first attempt so I didn’t want to risk a re-do & making them look terrible. Haha. So he can just be angry at all of the bad things Flint_Rocks has said about the later year MASK releases.
A mask for him will happen at some point down the road, since I don’t have one for my original, my custom works without one for now. At some point he’ll get one though!
Hondo MacLean Series 2 (MASK)
With my childhood Hondo figure:
With Boulder Hill:
With my Matt Trakker’s:
And MASK in action (I have the stickers to turn this into Jackhammer which I really need to do):
And he’s angry for a reason! Not just because I’m not great at Eyes yet! Haha, total credit to Dod Ears for the joke idea.:
Just such a fun one for me to make. NEVER really thought I’d have the Series 2 Hondo in my collection and I could not be happier!
