SB I know I already hit you up on FB but this is a great bunch of updates. Also, I had no idea that was a Marauder vest on Reco. Just blew my mind and now I’m curious what else did I miss out on. I remember getting a few weapons and stands from them forever ago but I don’t remember that vest; really cool.

@Hit & Run: Yeah man that Scarlett, my brother has her, she's really a cool color scheme! Loved the look when she was all put together! The SvS figures, the bad guys are all pretty unique, but the good guys are all very similar so I had to think of ways to make them look the same as they do for the figures & yet still different enough to be unique on their own! Mirage seems to be a fan favorite of this bunch on FB lol! I have wanted to make him for so long, then when I finally did, I had to put him in the holding queue for a while so a new story for him and his (then undecided) comrades could be told! Thanks for all the feedback as always!
@stljoe: Thanks for your continued support of this thread buddy! I collected all of the SvS figures over a few trips to the dollar stores 10 years ago, certain ones were much harder to find, like Cyclops! @kuh_rupht: I super appreciate the double dip bro! The support in this thread means everything, as it's where I really get to expand on the characters for those interested! That Marauder repro vest was on their site up until around when they started making their own unique figure gear molds. A lot of people at the time were using it on the unreleased POC Arctic Duke until some of the casting guys got a hold of the jacket that was intended for him. I have been trying to find a home for that vest ever since, and when I started breaking down the builds of the SvS guys in the MGR catalog (site & parts bin), the vest I had here looked a lot like what Reco had on, so a long wait to the perfect fit! lol Thanks again! |

Season 8 MarauderGeddon is looking goood!!!
I really dig these first three characters derived from S.T.O.P. VS. S.C.U.M. line, which I've never heard of, but they look like something I'd have considered collecting at the time. Your take and execution of the apocalyptic line characters is excellent! Your choice of parts/accessories couldn't be better so kudos for that. I certainly see a Dreadnok air here and I love it being a Dreadnok fan. Lady Lead is probably my favorite of the three. The story line on both Phantasm and Athena, as the rest of your bios, keeps pulling me in to explore and learn what these MarauderGeddon characters are all about...look forward to seeing what's coming next! |

So big thanks for showing off this awesome version of Big Ben v2. My version was sort of a deadpool makeup of a bunch of ideas I’ve seen other people do with the character with your version definitely being one that influenced the direction he ended up going in. Haha, just didn’t realize how many similar beats we hit since I try not to look at someone else’s version for a while when I know I’m doing the same character / version.

NEW RECRUITS!!!!!
Introducing SEASON 8: MARAUDERGEDDON!!!!! SEASON 1: MARAUDER TASK FORCE SEASON 2: MTF - TOKYO DARK (the battle against the Tokyo Underworld!) SEASON 3: MTF - SQUAD 87Z (return to the Himalayas to solve the mutant zombie crisis!) SEASON 4: MTF - OCTOBER STORM (The MTF , STRONG ARM & *W.A.S.P. race for secret technology!) SEASON 5: MTF - PHANTOM FORCE (MTF Night Ops is out to stop a nuclear trade war to the highest bidder!) SEASON 6: MTF - ROC REMIX (the ROC TOYLINE & EXPANDED UNIVERSE characters revisited - traveling the Americas in their new MTF Mobile Command Center!) SEASON 7: MTF - WILD STRIKE! (primordial adventure on the mysterious Grendel Island where the GUNRUNNERS are weaponizing hybrid creatures for mass destruction!) SEASON 8: MARAUDERGEDDON (An alternate universe story line with a post-apocalyptic setting, featuring dystopian characters, more exo-suits, & more ninjas!) #166/X1. CYCLOPS (based on S.T.O.P. VS. S.C.U.M. "Cyclops") Wrath Origin: Brazil Season 8 I have wanted to recreate the dollar store post apocalyptic line S.T.O.P VS. S.C.U.M. from the year 2010 for some time. This year being the 10th anniversary seemed like the perfect time to revisit these figures, you can see more about them here: https://www.scary-crayon.com/toys/stopvsscum/ The figures were fun, but as expected... super cheap, now after having them in storage for all these years in ziplocs, the figures are feeling waxy, fragile, & even more toxic then when they were new lol! With only 6 figures in the official line, I laid out a plan to recreate them in MTF with a new alternate universe story line featuring an expanded team having these guys in some of the leading roles. I wanted to create the characters so they would look like the figures but also a bit plused up. Cyclops was the 2nd figure I recreated, he looks a lot like the bad guy in Water World lol, I love how he turned out using parts of the MTF Exo-Suit to recreate the upper body armor look, headbands for the leg scarfs & patch, & the gray cloth arms for the wraps. Although these figures are not well known, they have proven to be some of my favorite recreations yet! In the year 20XX Armageddon occurred due to warring super powers that caused mass destruction and nearly annihilated the planet. Causing the collapse of civilization, the world fell into the hands of evil warlords known collectively as WRATH! In this chaotic world, WRATH prospered; infiltrating cities and leaving death, destruction, and despair in their wake. WRATH'S mission is total anarchy on a global scale. City by city they slice through urban lands, stealing & profiting from the chaos & terror that they bring. In time people revolted, forming their own talented security force of ex-military, police, hand to hand combat specialists, & upstarts, code named "MTF," or the MARAUDER TASK FORCE. The MTF is assigned with freeing the world of the evil WRATH forces that have taken the it by storm. Each member of the MTF has a unique military skill & was selected to maximize damage to the enemy. CYCLOPS is large and imposing, this ex-military soldier became a Brazilian slum lord. When Brazil was ravaged by the "Apocalypse War," CYCLOPS was severely injured & seeked out help from the military he once served... he recovered but part of the agreement to save his life was to augment him with the lab's new exo-suit technology, turning him into a super-soldier! The armor increases his already great strength and it's ownership & rarity showcases his leadership position in a broken world. The lab was later destroyed along with most of the cyborg experiments. Some say CYCLOPS was responsible. Cold and calculating he has become one of the "LORDS of WRATH." Can the MTF & RECO survive the fight for freedom? Can they possibly rid the world of WRATH? Only time will tell... Always loved the story on these as it reminded me so much of the Centurions that I loved as a kid. Both were set in post-apocalyptic world. Centurions was after WWIII had taken place. Cyclops always seemed like a Doc Terror type bad guy. Great job! Any plans to make Patriot? Always loved the fact that he supposedly trained with both the green berets and the navy seals...I mean could he be more bad ass. I think the other bad guy was Skull Hawk maybe. I just remember him looking pretty cool.

Are those headbands on Cyclops’ legs? If so I really couldn’t tell what you’d done at first - just that it was a good match to the original. Very creative.

@paokole: Thanks man! I appreciate that a lot! I am glad readers of the thread have been receptive to the SvS re-creations! When Tankers enjoy both the builds & the lore it makes it all the more enjoyable for me, as I am usually thinking of their stories when ordering the figures. Then as I start finally writing the bios here, I piece it all together! There is a connection to future characters as you can see, as I name off some characters in the bios that I have not yet revealed! You have been doing some fun stuff yourself in the Marauder thread!
@Itchweed: I appreciate Itch! And I promise even MORE SWORDS this new season bro! lol! @Hit & Run: No worries on Big Ben good buddy! I love what you do, appreciate the shout out, and I know we can both inspire each other! Thank you as always! @Flint_rocks: Yes it is kinda like Centurions! And with me adding more of the Mech Suits in this story line ...even more so! AND YES! I already have Patriot & Tank nearly done! I built them and then changed them a bit after when reading their bios to match their backgrounds more, as the toys are just two colors and their backgrounds are more diverse! So I am waiting on a couple things that should be in soon! You will see both of them show up in the next couple of batches. Skull Hawk has also been started but I want to wait for the new MGR "Mohawk" head to be released before I can complete him! @Mr Hebime: Thanks for your dedication to this thread buddy! =) @ARBCO Avenue: You are correct good sir! 2 Gray head bands on each leg! ;-) Last edited by Steel Brigade; 11-19-2020 at 02:10 AM.. |

Wow, I didn’t realize those were the new headbands around the legs, I thought you sculpted that! Great idea and it turned out giving the legs an awesome new look!
Haha, thanks, just like giving a shout out or credit if something influenced me, intentionally or not. Always fun to bring some attention back to older customs in these bigger threads too! Sometimes they get lost when we are pumping out so many new characters.
