Here's my take on Sunbow Ace, largely following the recipe of Jimbotron from years ago. I swapped in a modified Chuckles head to nudge a bit closer to the animation.
Because the toy's design in much more complicated than the animation model, I also used the harness green in a few extra places to balance out the flow. |

Great job on him! I hadn't realized the Sunbow version had dark hair. One question: does filling in the shoulder and elbow joints affect articulation?

Nice. One of the figures that always stuck out to me as being so far removed from the cartoon version that they were hard to reconcile as the same character.

The epoxy never interferes with the elbow or the thigh screw insets. Sometimes it won't take to the shoulders, and just pops off. Most of the time, though, there are no issues and the epoxy just forms a "shell" over the shoulder rivet and it works fine. |

My favorite version of Ace. Wouldn't mind Hasbro doing this version for Classified, but I doubt it. Maybe S7 though.
Great custom!

Assuming that they'd use a flight suit for the base figure, it wouldn't be hard for Hasbro to include a helmet w mask, plus an alternate collar/neck ring w fishbowl helmet. And if you have to have the black hair, they could include an alternate head or a pop-off hairpiece for it. Your choice of the rainbow of hair colors that Ace has had through the years. |

Nice work! Sunbow Ace is an excellent design, and you've done a great job capturing it.
