Lmao, my new barometer for guessing those 1989 and 1990 guys will be, “would Flint Rocks have bought this?” Anything that is a definitive NO I feel is safe to call 90’s. Quote:

Just a few more left to tackle! Can’t wait to finish off the group, then I need to check how close I am with the 80’s pilots.

This is one I’ve had built for a few weeks but I just never added the paint apps that I wanted to do. While doing some more complex paint jobs, I pulled him off the shelf and gave him the accents that I’ve been planning. Super easy one, mainly an excuse to use an extra Eagle Force head, bulk up that group and get an unused Marauder figure out of my bin.
In the Eagle Force Returns Kickstarter, the all in provided a head pack to give a few guys some different looks. Since I was trying to use up pieces I had, I chose to try some of them on Marauder bodies. The first one I did was a new member of the Bulldog Squad. So super simple build, just a Marauder gunner, a vest that I thought matched the ones the other Bulldog Squad members had, a few pouches and some gold paint to accent the build and give him some more of that Eagle Force classic gold. Otto - Bulldog Squad Eagle Force Returns A joke shot I took because I named him Otto after that Bulldog who rides a skateboard: With my other Bulldog Squad team members: Bulldog Squad tracking down RIOT:

Badass addition to the Bulldog Squad and one of my favorite Marauder's camo. I couldn't think of a better body to use that extra EF head, it looks fantastic! Beautiful action scenes as usual, great stuff man!!

That MTF Figure body, ha ...I only got to use once in my collection as it was only available when I first got into MTF, and now it seems like it's from a lost golden MTF age - cause who knows if it will ever return! But enough about memory lane. I really like what you did here as I could easily see this Otto on a store shelf! As fun as the figure is you give us a double dose with all the dio pics, it's a story each time!

Thanks! Does have a Recoil feel to him now that you mention it. Kept making me think of the 2000’s Big Ben I did but closer to Recoil. Have to get a pic of those guys as a squad.
Thanks! Simple one but thought it was pretty effective once I added the gold accents. Quote:
Appreciate that, super fun pics to take! Quote:

I backed the first weapons Kickstarter and was off and running with Marauders ever since. Been a backer for all of the figure Kickstarters so far, then usually get to talk to Marauder John at the one show in New Jersey once or twice a year. Things obviously didn’t happen last year so hopefully I’ll get to see him at a show in person sooner than later, always super nice to us so cool to catch up. I Thanks! Was fun coming up with my own character to add, usually making existing Joe characters so cool to add something to the lines every now and then. Then of course the pics! Haha, been a while since I’ve gotten to take some so glad everyone is getting as much enjoyment out of them as I do.

Hit, awesome man! A great addition to the bulldog Squad, fricking love what you did with him, doesn’t even look like you’ve used Marauder parts, looks a factory figure, totally awesome! Been meaning to get some heads myself but being overseas, its not worth it with shipping etc etc, have ta wait till I can muster up an build up a nice big order to get that kinda stuff from Zica.
Ha, love the dog on the skateboard too I’m gonna ask, is that the Endor base you customed up for the scenes, looks awesome, better than the Red Shadows convention base I own, though that ain’t bad either, but that base looks one better! Also, loving all the glorious pics, always looking forward to what you bring up next! Be great to see all your pilots completed, funny enough, I got my childhood Ace v.1 with helmet mailed to me with other Action Force vintage stuff from my folks from the UK the other week, funny though, I never owned the Skystriker as a kid lol? |
