Again, great work on this. Big improvement over Hasbro. I love how you recreated the scenes from the comic.

Hey gang, thanks for the kind words.
Yes, I did photoshop the cord into his mouth. Tattoo is done with a custom made decal. |

Your custom is awesome. Makes me wonder why Hasbro didn't go this route to begin with!

You should fix up SS and more accurate SE to go with him.

Looks good, this is almost the exact same custom I've been working on. I'm using Hiss Driver Upper arms so I don't have to paint the joints too much, still need to paint the neck and add a wash over the arms (To match the Red Ninja 5 pack body)

So when Hasbro announced we were getting the Hard Master, I almost didn't believe it. While we barely got to know him before he was assassinated, it was a loss that rocked the hearts and minds of my favorite characters and it began a mystery that would flow and tease through the pages of so many issues to follow. But then he arrived...a Snake-Eyes V3 repaint with new sleeves and hole in his chest that was almost an insult to the character. Yes, he was shot with an arrow, but come on...we all know it is an accessory hole. And to top it off, finally, there was ample room for the correct placement of the Arashikage tattoo on the forearm and it wasn't there. So I give you my "fixed" Hard Master. Hope you dig. Good job. EDIT: I just looked at your 25th "Covergirl" custom and you managed the same achievement: tiny changes that are a huge improvement.

Thanks, yes, less is more in a lot of cases.
However, I also have to mention (and Badgumbo and JackofTradez can back me up on this) these figures were A LOT of work to make. Yes a labor of love...but still labor. :-) |
