Not being familiar with the original figure made seeing her Hit & Run journey a real treat.
Chameleon was one of my first 5 Marauder homages/figures, and my very first Valkyrie make. I really liked the original 2000 figure & also did a 2nd comic MTF homage.
There is a lot of originality in your take, and also fits very well with your existing figures that are like 6+ years her senior. She reminds me of something Sunbow would do (like Mara) where you're like... "wish they made a toy of her!" The color scheme is so unique I don't think anyone unfamiliar with the figure would be able to tell it started off as a Catwoman! Cool color scheme and great paint work, The dio-shots are both extensive & expansive & tell the story even without words... Plus they get you hyped about the character! Some really wonderful stuff here bro, a feast for the eyes!
Haha, it?s a good habit for me to get into because I always want before & after shots but a majority of the time I get so excited to paint the figure once I finish the prep that I?m halfway into a full body paint job before I remember.....yeah, never took a pic before I started!
A black & red Chameleon might have been the first or second Val that I put together when that Kickstarter delivered. It was probably her, Lara Croft and some female cobra troopers since I only grabbed a few Val?s up front. Most of them are still together, I just never finalized them, should take another look at doing so.
Haha, I felt the same way, she started to feel like one of the single episode Joe cartoon figures once I started seeing how the paint job was coming out. I need to revisit more episodes of the cartoon to see which characters like Mara I can make. Honestly forgot all about her until Rob did a version.
Much appreciated! The photoshoots always seem to make me appreciate each individual character more, especially since some don?t really ever get the complete spotlight in official media. Fun to make some new characters or versions the center of attention for at least one little story part and it definitely creates more of a connection for me to the character.

Thanks! Was glad that I thought of something to do with it and thought the same, really started seeing all of the details once I brightened the figure up a bit. Sort of like my sky blue Snake Eyes where it took painting the figure to realize how good of a job they did on the details.

Thanks, appreciate it! The story for this one clicked the second I decided to make my own version of the character and the pics were a lot of fun to take.
