Haha, Big Mac was my favorite and I always wanted the Milkshake guy.
Yeah, I watched a ton of 90’s cartoons but then didn’t ask for a lot of toys in general so a lot of the future Best of the 90’s thread will be me making all of those figures I wanted back in the day, haha. In the 90’s I mostly stuck to one line at a time, Turtles, then WWF, Joe, G2 Transformers, back to Joe, a brief stint with Star Trek Generations, Exo Squad and then ended with POTF2 Star Wars. Very rare that anything else slid in as a one off but I did have the awesome Mario & Luigi from the Mario Brothers movie. Haha.

Your 88-89 Group looks great! Love how they had a guy for any type of mission there. Your customs really build out that group, love the Budo. Think my favorite official release is the Muskrat. He was a great Club figure.
Battle force 2k are looking badass as well! Glad you picked them up because I really like what the club did with that group. Hated them growing up so the modern versions did a lot to turn me into a fan of the characters. Blaster & Dodger are my favorites there. Then love what they did with the unofficial members in Dee-Jay and Backstop as well.
Ninja Turtles I like just fine. I havent watched the 80s cartoon in so long I don't even know if it holds up or not. As for the rest.....yeah....lol.
Thanks Budo was one of my favorites as a kid and the club version just wasn't really Budo. The club was funny sometimes that absolutely nailed a figure and other times it was like wtf is this.
I'm glad I got BF2000 for the most part it was just a hassle as you know. Always loved Maverick.

Looking forward to your next projects and loving that Cobra team shot! ;)
I need to check out all the cool stuff Action Force offered before they became a branch of the GI Joe squad.
Next up hopefully will be the final two Sectaurs and Overlord from Blackstar.
