Hey Guys. Just finished these last two customs for the Comic Pack Torch and Ripper. These cards were pretty involved....
I had to recreate a lot of missing pieces of Torch and Ripper's artwork. Also, I was debating on whether or not I should paint the borders silver or gold...I decided at the last minute to do them gold. I just wanted to do something different and I really like the way it turned out. The backs are both custom. Again, I had to recreate missing pieces of both Torch and Ripper. I put Torch in front of a shower of sparks and ripper in front of rubble...like he just tore something up. I then modified existing innner bubbles and placed the figures and accesories inside. Ripper has SOOOO many accessories, it was tight fit! I know the comic pack has the rifle in Torch's hand, but I tried to be true to the original and put it with Ripper. Anyway, here are the pics. Thanks for looking!

Wow, those are badazz!
I needs me some of those. Hard to tell the difference between them and the real thing. How thick is the cardback? Would you do more? |

Hey thanks guys....thats been my goal all along to try to make these things as original as I possible can so they blend it well with my other MOC figures that are on display.
The cards themselves are a hair thicker than the original 25ths...they wont bend without a lot of force applied to them. I do offer these cards for sale by request. If interested, PM me for prices. I have a a few different versions, a cheaper white bordered version or a gold/silver bordered version that is a little bit more (takes me an additional 2 hours to make per card). Thanks again guys!

Wow. I forgot how awesome their card art was, Torch especially. Getting these two in a comic pack was a loss to everyone.
