Another great batch. Love the fact you made a custom of a character you created and showed the sketch. As others have said Scarlett is top notch though.

Thanks for the kind words! I had someone tell me she was the best 1:18 Scarlett they've ever seen. @_@ It was quite the compliment... I was humbled, As a legacy character in the Joe world, I'm glad so many people like her! =)

Thank you so much bro! A member on the facebook page really got into the "Cindy" character & PMed me for her story details, so it was fun talking about something I made as a teenager. It was also very satisfying to add another original character to my ranks! Glad you appreciate her!
PS: And more Sky commanders soon Flint! ;-)

Superb batch!!!

Yes! Love this batch so much. Great to see some of the new Spartan118 heads in "the flesh." (The Snake Eyes movie Baroness, in particular, looks much better than I'd expected.) And, as ever, the concepts and builds are brilliant. Obsessed with Cindy Powers and her ray gun and boots! What head is that, by the way?

Hey nan, yeah the Spartan shrinks look even better in person all painted up! Thanks for the high praise! Cindy has been a charmer with some viewers! Glad you like her! That head is the #195 Nico Minoru (A) painted up in light blonde with blue eyes! ;-)

House Of Powers/Earthling Law Enforcement
Origin: USA
Sunrunners Midori Story (*bonus character*)

Cindy Powers was a lead character that I developed in my youth, as kind of a next generation hip 80's fantasy modern princess. Long before my "Action Girl" that I made in college, I used Cindy as a thrilling female co-lead & love interest in my fictional comic stories. I actually made her figure-form waaaaaaaaaaay back around the 300 mark of this thread, & she was to be included with the "Keel Haul" wave, but after showing her to my long-time neighbor buddy before that drop, he thought the stock head I chose looked too mean for her, & I also felt it was too generic for an important character from my younger years. So I put her on hold, & eventually decided that a Spartan Head was needed to finish her look more appropriately... Well the head has finally arrived & now that totally 80's goodness I captured way-back-when feels right again!

BIO: Despite the alien invasion, CINDY POWERS has lead a charmed life. So safe from harm in the luxurious surviving Eternal City that she needed to rebel. Her wealthy & powerful parents either intended her to work with Earth's native animals as a conservationist or in the veterinarian field. But CINDY was more interested in taking back her home world, & is working undercover for the Earthling Law Enforcement branch of Eternal City, mostly in secret from her family & friends. Both beautiful & brave, CINDY has helped shine the light on the daily atrocities that have been imposed on our planet from the INVADERS, & even carries one of their trademark "ray-guns" as her main weapon against them.





A Cindy Powers drawing I did circa 1989...

I LOVE the story behind this. The final result must've been surreal when putting it next to your original drawing.

[paokole]

And the GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS awesomeness continues and I'm honestly loving every single millimeter of parts & creativity on these ones!!! Just fantastic and I'd dare say this is probably my favorite wave of builds so far, you've done such an excellent job putting these characters together.

This version of Scarlett looks essentially "the Ultimate" IMHO starting from this spectacularly painted head sculpt by Spartan118 all the way to the last MGR pouch/knife/grenade. She's got the right amount of gear to execute any type of mission at hand. Love it and it has to feel so nice having to complete your own re-imagination of the classic 1982 Scarlett.

The build you came up with for Cindy Powers as an originally developed character is just brilliant!! Really like how you included the sketch you made way back and bro can't believe you had this built minus the head ready to go around the 300 mark of this thread?? That's crazy...again good things come to those who wait and this is the perfect example right here. This looks like a convention exclusive version most collectors would be salivating for and willing to pay $$ to add her to their collection. What I also like about this one is that she chose to carry one of the INVADER'S trademark "ray-guns" as her main weapon against them. That's vicious and so appropriate at the same time. Always fun seeing newly developed characters more so when they're also executed so nicely. Well done bro!

I want the recipes to make both Haruka and Rednok now! Like I said you're killing it with this latest wave of badass GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS and believe me I'm their biggest fan haha
HARUKA, current head of Arashikage security & a believer of the Arashikage creed...I mean you can't go wrong with putting her in charge of the newly reformed Arashikage Clan. One, she looks like she means business and second she's sexy as hell. Same goes with Rednok and yes those shrunk classified heads complement these two builds beautifully but then you've orchestrated the fine sequence of creativity in putting these unique builds together, bravo!! Now I want to see Rocker & Striker made to complete the team!

Yui looks to be a true product of labor of love considering the smaller steps taken to achieve the successful marriage of various different bits/pieces. Smart choice to use a DNL badge to show what the yo-yo would look like (police badge) when opened. Kudos to you for thinking of that and also shows how meticulously you've been planning/executing your builds. Excellent work all around.

Man I've had so much fun going through this latest batch yet I'm super excited to enjoy another this coming weekend, bring it on!!

Ha ha thanks! It was surreal, I never thought I would be able to make a figure of this character when I made her back 30+ years ago, so to have that come to fruition was a real moment. =) It was fun when it all came together, even in the ordering stage... Being an original character, from my childhood no less, I'm glad she has been so well received!

Welcome back brother! I hope you are well! Being the fan of my lady-builds, I'm so glad you enjoyed this wave so much, as it was very loooong in the making!

If this is the last Scarlett I ever make, I will be happy lol, but I love Scarlett so ya never know. ;-) Yes Cindy started off so looooong ago, & was pulled at the last moment from the "#301 Keel Haul wave..." (replaced by my "Sparta" homage.) I love your "convention exclusive" mention here because she does give that vibe of "we gotta get her to the fans" lol. Both her & "Action Girl" are from my creative youth, & I'm so glad 2 of my leading ladies made it to my MTF Universe!

If you actually want the recipes for Haruka & Rednok I can PM you, but they are pretty easy, they are all MTF except for the Spartan heads, the laser pistol for Rednok is from Flash Gordon, & Haruka's sash belt is from Vortious (do not recommend him lol), an AWOK staff, & the leg knives are from Boss Fight's Umbrella Academy... I'll get to CC Rocker & CC Sriker down the road. ;-) Yui was a labor of love. I spent more time gathering & fitting her parts than any other custom so here far. I love Sukeban Deka 3, so it was so worth it to me. ;-) Thanks for your thorough review buddy, I always love seeing you in this thread! =)

And YES, there will be another drop THIS WEEKEND! I am so far ahead right now on my waves that this will be the 2nd drop of April, & May will also feature 2 drops!

Such a wicked wave bro, truly loved it! Definitely making Haruka & Rednok so I'll follow the steps re parts you mention here. Don't have those Spartan heads so I'll have a go with existing parts and improve them later on.

Look forward to seeing what's coming this weekend!!

[zpartikuz]

Wow gorgeous wave sir!

I should?ve included those female classified shrunks when I ordered! Haha
