So this one is straightforward, just a total repaint of the original 25th Barbecue. Switched the orange to a bright red and then some of the grays to black. After that I had some decisions to make since the colors vary from pic to pic of the Funskool figure. The blues seemed to be anywhere between a sky blue and a bright blue.....since I already did Stalker with a sky blue, I decided to do Barbecue in the bright blue. Then since I wasn?t feeling the flesh tone or pale yellow face mask, I matched the backpack and went with a bright yellow to make him pop.
I always thought 25th Barbecue was one of the better 25th Joes so I am really happy with how this one turned out all painted up. Really enjoying him with my group of other Barbecue figures and love seeing all of my modern Funskool guys together.

I agree, 25th Barbecue was one of the best figures in that line. Really captured the look and feel of the ARAH version perfectly. As usual, I'm not overly familiar with the Funskool version, but I can definitely see why you were a fan with the bright colors. Another good one!
Also...I love that you added a group shot of all the Funskool customs.
