Most of you will probably cringe since this is an actual Remco figure. But I have a soft spot for the Remco Sgt. Rock / The Bad Guys actions figures.
I put my thoughts on the short arms in a spot on Joeaday.com a couple of years ago: https://www.joeaday.com/sgt-rock-fig...ort-arms-rant/ So, four decades later, here is a Remco Sgt. Rock with better arms as promised. I had to widen the shoulders to take the Han Solo arms, so I also sculpted on the ammo belt. Fortnite supplied the Thompson submachine gun. It's slightly oversized, but Sgt. Rock needs to have one. Which I never understood, since they weren't belt-fed. Last edited by Clockwise; 06-29-2021 at 09:51 PM.. |

I loved the Sgt. Rock figures! And your upgrades did it justice.

Very nice. I had Snake and Shark as a kid so I too have a soft spot for Remco...

Thanks, guys!
No, I am not the owner of Joeaday. That would be Rob, who was gracious enough to let me run articles there. It was a great site, and I wish he’d start it back up. |

———— Sgt Rock looks great! Always fun to see what retro style guy you’re gonna pull out to improve / create anew. Awesome job on him! Get a lot of enjoyment checking out your threads because of the deep dive stuff that I’m not too familiar with.

We still have Forgotten Figures, Attica Gazette, and Dragon Fortress for articles, thankfully!

No action figure is sacred when it comes to customizing, it's all fair game. And you definitely improved on the classic. Great work!
