The magic bad guys look so cool together. All such unique looks. Think Mumm-Ra and the Centurians bad guy are my top two there. All of them are great but those two always pop to me in any pics they are in.
Haha, I always loved Golobulous from the movie, game and the figure so really jealous of that one. He’s perfect, that sculpting for his veins on the arms are phenomenal.
EDIT:
Oh man, that Snake! Now you are just doing stuff to mess with me on purpose. I have that Snake Plissken head, then I started replaying Metal Gear Solid on the PS mini so just all kinds of envious with that group. That Plissken is beautiful. Absolutely nailed the pant camo! Then just a perfect paint job on the face as usual. Those pics with Burton and Solid are outstanding.
So glad you added Nightshade to the Crooks, she caps them off nicely. The sculpted bits helped you pull off her look perfectly. Really loving how she turned out. Got great sculpting out with the hair, then the collar and boot pieces.....top notch.
So many unique characters in that show so the fact that you fully committed to doing them all is phenomenal. Bad Brains is my favorite there, told you before, he was the only figure I had from that line as a kid and you killed it with that custom.
You are on an absolute roll again, no idea what you are gonna do next because you are just throwing aces from all over the board: cartoons I’ve seen, cartoons I haven’t, Joe’s, movies.....you name it, you’re dropping awesome customs from it.
Venger had been requested so many times that I had to add him. I had never watched the cartoon before....I've now watched around 6 episodes it's actually pretty good. All on YouTube. Once I pieced the parts together and decided how to sculpt the head and "skirt" he was pretty easy. Lower half is a bossfight body with several layers of green stuff and then strips of it placed on top to give it that layered effect. Not as smooth as I had hoped for really.
Golobulus was a glaring hole in my ME collection. I'm actually working on a few other Joes to add and then as far as ME Joes I'll be done.
Once I had Jack Burton I knew I wanted to add Snake. Those are actually just base Marauder legs...no paint at all. It was just too perfect once I saw those. Well..I painted the boots and knees black but didn't touch the camo. Zorro upper body and paint the head and flesh to match and done. It's a great head sculpt. Metal Gear Solid is a great game...the first time Psycho Mantis reads your "mind" blew me away.
Thanks for noticing all the little details on Nightshade. I was going to go the easy route on her but decided to go all in and sculpt it all to make her look like the cartoon. The head actually turned out lots better than I had expected. I figured the head would be tricky but it all went smooth.
I'm actually going to tackle some of the second series of COPS. I'm not sure how familiar anybody will be with them. Powderkeg (bomb specialist), Nightstick (karate cop), Inferno (firefighter) and APES (not sure what his specialty was but he looked really cool lol).
