So in addition to redoing the heroes of Bionic 6 I thought that the main antagonist Dr. Scarab needed a redo as well. I was never happy with the fact that my head I sculpted didn't really capture his jowls or his truly grotesque look (it was only the second head I had tried to sculpt at the time) and he was just too tall and not fat enough so I tried to correct all of those things as I remade him.
Scarab gets an all new base body minus the lower arms and lower legs. I did extend the gloves with sculpt to be more cartoon accurate. New head and body sculpted and head to toe paint job. Old New Group

Incredible collection you've put together. Obviously many hours of love were poured into these. Nice to see unappreciated shows like Bionic Six and Spiral Zone getting attention. All that stuff brings me back (I haven't thought about toy lines like Crystar, Sky Commanders, and the Power Lords in a long while), though I am really nostalgic of catching shows like those and Defenders of the Earth early morning before I headed to school

You see that, your comparison shots not only show your attention to detail, but your paintwork looks cleaner than the OG's factory. Thanks for the nostalgia trip boss, makes me want to go look at my vintage Bionic 6 figs!

Continuing to "fix" older customs. Next up is General Warhawk from Rambo Force of Freedom.
With the vintage S.A.V.A.G.E

Decided to give Indiana Jones a slight make over
Shortened the torso so the jacket didn't come up so high, darkened the shirt so it didn't have that crisp white appearance and best of all a new head sculpt from Craniac studios.
