Thanks man! Quote:
Thanks Ax, even after 300+ figs, I'm still trying to make meaningful/purposeful builds! Lots of stuff in the works, but also still waiting on lots of stuff! lol! Thanks for your support as always buddy, I appreciate it! Quote:
Uncle Sam is awesome!! Very creative of you to add this to your roster and what a better time now that we're celebrating his birth! Really nice figure!
Love Vapor, probably my favorite of this round. The colors here pop nicely and that robot head just finishes off the figure in the best way. I'm thinking I'll borrow this recipe to make own Robot assassin. Great figure! Beautiful head cast for the Hiss Tank Driver! Really like the concept here and of course the idea from Mr H shines here. Awesome build bro. I very look forward to seeing more of the 'Nam roster here. Ba-Zook' here truly rocks, a fun character and you surely did him justice. Gotta say that I really like his Sunbow colors rather than the usual toy coloration. Spot on execution! Mamba Viper looks exceptional! Really like the head cast you found and that Val body finishes off the build nicely. This has to go with the rest of the female character I really dig. You know how much I love your female additions Absolutely fantastic round of customs bro!! Ha ha thanks paokole! Yeah Uncle S.A.M. was the biggest hit of this batch on social media too, & I was glad I could time him to this drop! Go ahead and borrow away on Vapor, I had him finished last month or so when I did the all "Girls" round, but he didn't mesh with that theme that I was trying to do (twice now lol)... but still couldn't wait to drop him here as imho, I think he's kinda clever. ;-) Yes, I have quite a few figures planned for 'NAM 19XX besides the ones that MGR is gifting us lol. I feel like I'm getting started early but...why not? lol I hope you look forward to it! Oh... and there will be some more female character(s) for you to check out in the next drop(s) bro! Quote:
I knew this was going to be a solid round of figures as soon as I saw Uncle SAM and you did not disappoint! And I also feel honored to get a shout out for helping inspire a build, thanks for that SB. My favorites for this 5 pack would be Vapor and Uncle SAM, but the other 3 are definitely worthy of being included in your ever expanding MTF mythos. Looking forward to seeing more customs from you bud.
Thanks boss! Yes I have been wanting do use your "inside out" technique for awhile & was happy to use it here! I'm sure I'll be using it again when it comes in handy! Thanks again for the idea & glad you enjoyed this drop...more to come! XD Quote:
WOW! New favorite, that's pretty high praise from you bro! I'm glad Uncle SAM has been so well received, I wondered if he was a bit campy for my lineup, but figured if I could fit him in somehow within my story line... and give him some pizazz... I could make him a winner! Big thanks again! . Last edited by Steel Brigade; 07-14-2022 at 12:37 PM.. |

Wow!! That Uncle Sam is insanely cool!! Mamba Viper is very cool as well, I’d love to see a ‘standard’ male version. The character Tempest really is perfect. I love this character just based on his look and was able to get one over 20 years ago( sadly without the jet). Another terrific group of characters my friend!

Welcome back buddy & thanks! Don't know if I'll do a "male version" of the Mamba Viper, but I appreciate the suggestion! That's awesome you landed a Vapor all those years back, I think he has a great look & my Tempest homage was a blast for me to make! Thanks again & always great to have you in this thread! |

I literally laughed out loud at your butt crack comment! XD More female customs to come! I have several in progress... Yes I love Japanese V-cinema (direct to video films), finding ways to tribute some of those characters has really given this thread a unique twist I think! ;-) There was a real boom in the 2010's for such films, and luckily the trend continues! Thanks for the kind words on Hard Hat, Action Girl, Bomshell, & the others, I'm gad you went back to look through the stuff you missed! Again great to have you back bud!!!!! |

The grid pictures really show how much work you continue to put into this project. I still love that Snake Eyes. So simple yet so great!

Love going over the grid pictures...man you've truly created an index of awesomeness!! Sapper looks so good with the new head. This inspired me to revisit a few marauders WIP builds (Arctic Ops gets a new head) and display them properly.
I can't wait for the August/September drops! |

Ha ha! Thanks boss! I do like the grids when I make them, as I think it helps show the overall variety of the characters, as well as a convenient way to review just how many I've banged out in one shot lol... thanks for stopping by as always, I know you love groupings! ;-) Quote:
