So, Indiana Jones has had lots and I mean lots of figures in this scale, but none have really done him justice as the articulation was lacking and his height was always off. I've fixed some of the issues. He isn't perfect, but he fits in with modern 4 inch figures better.
Indiana Jones With the Hasbro version

It's funny. I recently watched RetroBlastings review on the Indiana Jones (every figure) series that Hasbro put out years ago... Your version blows them all out of the water! Not bowlegged anymore! Just looking at him makes me want to watch the movies! lol Well done!

Speaking of Retroblasting. I met Michael at JoeFest. Just happened to pass by him in the lobby and he was a super nice guy. He stood and talked about 80s figures and cartoons for 15 minutes and would have kept talking but a panel he was doing was starting. Definitely do it man. I'm sure you can improve over the one I did. Can't wait to see it when you're done.

I've finished the Joe picture retakes. I still need to do Cobra. I did them by year and tried to stick to just my definitive version of each character. I bent the rules for the OG 13 and put commando Snake Eyes and green Hawk in there and then put their V2s in 85 and 86.
82 83 84 85 86 87 88 with Countdown from 89 Slaughter and his Renegades Battle Force 2000

I did finish off a new Joe custom which again is rare for me as I don't make many since Hasbro gave us almost everybody and others are prolific at making Joe customs and are far better than me at it, so I just make the ones Hasbro didn't or the ones I don't particularly like the Hasbro or Club version. That is the case with Hardtop. The club version just wasn't for me and the price of him now helped with my decision to just make him.
Hardtop

Wasn't happy with my Lone Ranger custom so I reworked him some
New head with sculpted mask Black Maruader gloved hands Double belt since Lone Ranger actually wore 2 Different bandanna around his neck Does anybody else remember the Tarzan/Lone Ranger/Zorro Adventure Hour? Zorro and Tarzan are from Bossfight Studios. I did change Tarzan's hair.
