Crimson Strike Team

speedocub · 08-24-2008, 10:18 PM

Here they are, The Crimson Strike Team from 2002.

Since Hasbro will probably never make these again and since they were a Convention exclusive...I made them myself.

All done in "Cardinal Crimson" acrylic.
Baroness, Tomax, Xamot, and that Viper Guy.

BTW, anyone wish Hasbro would redo this guy ie fix his stance and his hands? Maybe instead of painting red plastic for the hands they could paint the gloves on the flesh plastic...something like that maybe??

Really phenomenal work on these, I remember seeing these exclusives on the YoJoe! Toy archive and I thought they were pretty neat. You captured the look and feel of the originals quite well, and you’re probably correct on Hasbro not bothering to make these particular versions again.

But then again you never know, I mean if all they have to do is change a few colors and slap on a few different decorations and emblems on an ‘old’ figure to make a few more bucks, I wouldn’t doubt it. I mean jeez, look at all the duke clones out there…they’re selling pretty good for being basically the same figure with a new name and head!

But I digress, again awesome work, keep it up, you do some of my favorite figs on here, least that I’ve seen so far.

Sweet job!! I really like the twins, Baroness is a close second.

Very Cool!

Great work! Could be a cool 5 pack for Hasbro to do but you are probably right to do them as customs.

There supposed to be coming out with a new one, and I bet they'd look awesome with that.
