SB what an amazing batch, beautiful work bro! They all standout as being meticulously planned! And I was expecting this drop
![]() Roadblock is a phenomenal build, really like the choice of head and body. The vest and gear are the bomb and sets this figure apart. Super nice. You beat me to it, I've been wanting to use that Avac's RS head for quite some time. You truly nailed that look with the red German soldier body. Great job coloring the eyes by the way. Star Brigade Star Fighter Pilot looks freakin awesome! Never was able to nail the right look using the exo suit so I'll be using this recipe faithfully. There's just so much detail, love it! Neo-Nok Torch has a nice new/fresh look which also explains the use of the word "neo" meaning something new in Greek. You lucked out with this head ![]() Your version of Arctic Scarlett is unbelievably awesome! That's probably my favorite MGR female head, actually the best factory painted female head ever. Beautifully accessorized built, love how versatile this one is and really digging the crossbow as well. Can't wait for the other Scarlett homage that's in development...curious to see that other head. Great stuff brother, keep them coming!! |

Roadblock‘s colors are a nice blend of ARAH V2 and Classified V1. I like that Sci-Fi a lot, even though there’s no nostalgia as I quit collecting as a kid after the first one came out. Great choice of flames on Scorch’s leg. Also I’m surprised you didn’t get a saber-tooth tiger for Scarlett. Only kidding of course! I was thinking about Lauren Dellapa’s Scarlett only recently, chewing on what it would take to make her. Not only did you make the first custom based on it (that I am aware of), you did a nice job pulling available parts to get the idea across.

As I've said before the bios you do are just top notch. I absolutely love reading those as much as looking at the customs. I was the same way as a kid when I got a new Joe. I always read the file card over and over to learn every nuance of the character. Your writing really helps bring your universe to life.
Oh and Roadblock is my favorite from this group ![]()

Can't wait for the other Scarlett homage that's in development...curious to see that other head. Great stuff brother, keep them coming!! It's an interesting roll out with the 2020 heads, as I'm guessing MGR must actually have all of them & are just letting them trickle out as not to be overwhelmed with orders. But at the same time it keeps my figure lineups shuffling, as I keep adjusting to include the already made figures-just waiting on those heads, to be a part of the drops asap, as they waited so long for their debut! I think the "Talia" head is my fave female head from the MGR catalog too, I've used it a bunch... But will definitely be continuing the trend of using more unique heads on my ladies going forward. Thanks again pal, there is much more to come! Quote:
