It?s crazy that there was a Joe helmet that matched Airwave perfectly. Love the coloring on him, just had a really cool design for the original figure and you were spot on with how you captured the look in your custom. Always impressed with how you blend parts from multiple places & sculpt so well together. Then that white is so bright and vibrant, looks fantastic!
It is CRAZY how many customs you were able to knock out for this toyline. Absolutely love seeing the group shots, I would totally snatch up every one of these figures if someone started releasing them. Super enjoyable ride following along while you went through creating all of these fantastic customs! My fear is a company like Fresh Monkey will release C.O.P.S. in this scale which will make my customs irrelevant. That would suck...but I would probably buy some of them still.

Since C.O.P.S. is now finished time to get back to another property that helped launch this project....M.A.S.K.

COPS finished strong a fuck. They were both extremely vintage accurate but still felt like modern figures. Well done.

Like what Axon said. It's like the classics but with better articulation & better proportions! I always thought Malloy was one of the better baddies & your custom (& the group shot) gave me some major nostalgia!

Floyd Malloy! He looks fantastic, love the build and the bright red paint job to pop off the darker shades he has. Then his hair is great, definitely a different look from what I am more familiar with in the toy.
That Mask though, come on! Haha, I don?t even know how you pulled that one off, it just doesn?t look structurally possible to make those shapes out of green stuff. Then love that you kept the gap in it too to show the chest beneath it. In that combined pic with all of VENOM, I?d be hard pressed not to pick him as my favorite custom there. Love them all, hoping to make a very similar Vanessa.....but this guy just pops with that MASK! You?re gonna be killing me when you go on a tear with this toyline because these are so much more familiar to me than COPS were. I was thinking they may homage one or two but they won?t be exact like your customs are. Saw they did the Muscle Men style cops so I guess it?s possible though.

One of my favorites as a kid was Firefly with Julio Lopez from M.A.S.K. I have no idea why outside of the fact that I had the toy.
