Can't really disagree with the moving those two really.
Awesome part man...no sculpting. That is the figure and vest from Lift Ticket that came with the Tomahawk. The helmet is from a Firefly figure I think. I just painted the purple, red, silver and brown on the boots and gloves and thighs. Oh, thought you sculpted the purple and white parts on the vest. Haha, that’s how good your sculpting has gotten, you are at Hasbro level! That’s the same figure I used as the base for my Kitbash but I didn’t paint him, just added a chromed Marauder riot helmet and called him Gyro Viper. Might try him with a JoyToy to give him a different feel and to avoid painting my Lift Ticket. I have that helmet in a cast too so if it fits the JoyToy build, might go with that too since you made it look perfect for him. ————— Jack Burton looks awesome! Perfect build and excellent paint job on that head. Now you need more characters from the film! Haha, never ends once you start customing. Really jealous of those action heroes because I don’t have any of them yet. I do have that Rambo head so good to be reminded that it fits well on a BF body, have to mess around with that. Think that’s the Arnold head I also have, what do you have that on, a Gung Ho body? I need to get something for that one since it’s huge on all of the standard height figures.

Haha, you just had him up there because Thundercats are your favorite. I see through your “lists”! Next Wily Kit & Kat will be in the top tier of “kid team members” and the RoBears will be listed as Tier 1 animal sidekicks. Just trying to get me to preorder more of those Super7 figures!

Yeah that white is supposed to be silver well it is silver but look white in pics I'm going to have to fix that. Yeah Gung Ho body. I would love to add all the main cast from Big Trouble in Little China but for now Jack will do. Quote:

Still happy to add Jack Burton to the collection.

Kid members would be a good group pic. Wiley Kit and Kat would be there. No tiers just a pic...Scott, Jayce, Rick Hunter from Robotech the kids from D&D who aren't currently on my list but Venger finally made the cut.
Yeah that white is supposed to be silver well it is silver but look white in pics I'm going to have to fix that. Yeah Gung Ho body. I would love to add all the main cast from Big Trouble in Little China but for now Jack will do. Haha, didn’t even notice it regarding the silver. I did that most recently with my 90’s Ace where the color was a little off in pictures from what I originally had seen while laying down the paint. Your Gyro Viper is an awesome custom though, just checked him out for a second time, really liking him. I definitely have to get an Arnold and Bennett from Commando going for my collection. Haha, figure out how to make a chain mail vest. ———— Rick Hunter looks great! Not an easy one to pull off because of all the line work but you did a fantastic job. Really like how the harness and helmet came out, definitely helps him pull off his unique look. Then super clean with the white paint. I need to give that show another try. My buddy loves it, I started it on dvd one day but was planning on it being a background noise show while I worked but it really demands your attention so I decided to hold off for when I had time to actually sit and watch. Really great group of pilots, think Bluegrass is my favorite in that pic. Kills me that Super7 looks to be mailing in those Silverhawks, I mean good that it saves me space and money but I definitely wouldn’t mind a good Bluegrass on my shelf.

Huge fan of your 80s action hero customs! You've done an amazing job combining parts from different toy lines while making it look so easy. If only was the case. Love them all!

Haha, tiers for kid members would be so easy, Scott Trakker Tier 2, everyone else Tier 1. Haha. I love MASK but man was Scott super annoying!

I was going to paint with a different silver and just decided whatever lol and left him. Easy custom that turned out pretty decent. Bennet would be one I would like to see you do as I'll never make him. I never watched Robotech as a kid and its one of the few toylines I didnt have any of. I've watched it some recently as all episodes are on YouTube. Its not bad. I like the story. Not sure how invested in it I'll become really. Quote:
Trust me I'm right there with you. I dont really know anything about Robotech just thought I should add the main guy to the project lol. He does have a cool look to him very Speed Racer like.
