Haha, thanks! Thought the same thing, was hard not to keep messing with him once I had him painted & all geared up because he just looks so cool! Quote:
Thanks! I agree, those shots of him in the water on the sled came out looking spectacular. Quote:

Awesome, can’t wait to see how that comes out!

Raginspoon's double frogman kit has some pretty good flippers in it, no need for any foot pegs. And the Eel's waiting in line behind someone I don't want to give away just yet, but who also uses BFS parts.

Beautiful work you've done with Undertow...you've used those BFS parts perfectly while aiming for the character's original look. Kudos!!

Haha, can’t wait to see who it is! Your figures have been coming out awesome and you’ve had some really cool ideas! Thanks, I appreciate it! Really happy with the outcome, especially since that was my first attempt at really customizing an original Boss Fight blank.

The Drug Enforcement Force came out when I was picking up a ton of Joe’s so I obviously had to have anyone who came with an animal partner, enter DEF Mutt & Junkyard. I missed out on the original Mutt growing up so this was my first figure of the character and I really liked it.
Fairly straight forward build with this one. Just painted a Marauder light gray armored vest bright blue and the rest are unpainted parts. May have been influenced by Rob’s v4 custom, can’t remember if I had this built before or after I saw that. Hitting the armored Marauder vest with my bright blue paint is what sold me on committing to doing this one. Then the bone accessory definitely added to the total package for me. Chose to stick with the Marauder green & brown color scheme instead of matching the originals mis matched pants & shirt combo since I was just really happy with how the stock parts looked. D.E.F. Mutt & Junkyard And then just because I loved this pose, I grabbed a non-comic shot of it.

Great execution, once again!! I really like the simplicity of parts; you've kept it nice and clean and of course I'm a big fan of that bright blue vest
The figure looks pretty awesome and those Dreadnoks had it coming! |

Great homage to the original H&R.
Lighten the pants an apple green and you got yourself a spot on remake of the original. The bone treat is too cool bro. Still upset with you on letting Junkyard kick the dreadnoks ass though.

DEF Mutt was the only vintage Mutt I owned as a kid, and he got a ton of play, but I hadn't even thought to build him from Marauder parts. What a great idea, and you executed it perfectly!

The bone is brilliant, Haha. That was a last second addition, was starting to take pics and was like, “wait, the original figure had bones and there’s definitely one in my fodder bin!” Love how it worked out! Hahaha, well these ‘Noks are from the era before the Slice updates happened! Not sure who takes on your updated versions. And the Nok’s got to win in my pics when I did my custom Zarana! Quote:
Thanks! See a ton of awesome v1 Mutt’s made from Marauder parts but not a ton of the DEF version so I am happy I was able to bring him to life. Definitely needed this version in my modern collection.
