Sport 1
New head sculpt as I felt this one looked younger. I also tried to sculpt his hair better and included the bangs that hung down under the batter's helmet and better matched is hair color to a sandy blonde instead of just yellow. New arms that actually look like he is wearing a jacket and all new sculpt work. Sport 1 was the first time I tried to sculpt clothes (his jacket) and looking back it was pretty bad. He also has sculpted socks this time as well. All new paint job and capturing a lot of details I overlooked the first time like the black on the jacket. 3 years ago Sport 1 now

Rock 1
This is the one in retrospect I probably missed the most details on my original custom. So many minor things I didn't include from her cartoon design. She got a new hew and I sculpted the hair to be cartoon accurate. I remember seeing that Captain Marvel head and thinking this would be great for Rock 1 and it was at the time, but it never really looked like her. All new sculpt work. Head to toe repaint and she had the most that had to be included this time as I just completely left off so many of her details. 3 years ago Rock 1 now

I.Q.
Much like Sport 1 one of my first attempts at sculpting clothes by doing his jacket. It was bad. I'm well aware of that now. I could never get his head right so he gets a new head sculpt that I just fixed some to look more like IQ. All new sculpt again to capture the details as well as sculpting his neck wrap this time. Head to toe repaint to include all of the details. 3 years ago IQ now

I’m not familiar with these guys but I can definitely appreciate the work you put into them. Like you I feel I’m never finished with a custom. Always something I wish I did different. These looks very nice, details and sculpting are great. Painting yellow can be such a pain in the as and you pulled it off. Love the group shot, shows the metric ton of care and work you put into creating these. Kudos!

You seriously delivered (again) on this one boss, Bionic-6 is one of the best, & your updated versions with all the flourishes are really an improvement. These are all awesome, and I mean awesome... For me the improved Bionic-1, Mother-1, Meg, & Bunji are the real show stoppers!

Your dedication to an era of creativity is impressive as is your dedication to keep improving talents that already exceeded those of many of us. You could likely create a virtual tour of your customs museum that would be talked about and revisited for years to come.

I don't have any of the vehicles or accessories to any of the figures, but I do have all of them and none are broken so their is that. I also have a "gray" market dvd set. Great cartoon to just throw on sometimes. Dr. Scarab is actually my favorite 80s bad guy.
