Dr Mindbender looks so good, fantastic execution my bro. Really like how you combined the best parts out of two earlier versions and then add BFS in the blend to come up with a recipe for success. A recipe I intend on using once I get those parts.
Then that repaint on Serpentor is spot on, he looks so striking now. Great stuff!! |

Once Slaughter's Renegades appeared in the Joe movie I wanted the figures and grabbed the 3 pack as a kid. Similar to Mindbender I was glad we got them in the ME line, but disappointed in their look. I've attempted to make Red Dog and Taurus more similar to their vintage looks.
Red Dog gets a new head (picked up the cast at a convention), full repaint to flip the jersey colors back to the vintage as the red and white had been inverted for the ME version, painted over the tattoos on his arms, cut up and pieced together some web gear to mimic the vintage and gave him new lower legs to make him a bit shorter so he didn't tower over the others. Taurus get a sculpted mustache, I sanded off the straps on his shirt, lowered the holster on his chest, swapped out the guns, through on an arm band to his left arm, added a knife to the left leg and gave the legs a repaint. Red Dog ![]() Taurus ![]()

Much improved Renegades man, looking so good! Color pops, add-ons, & paint work all look sharp!

Thanks. I've decided that I'm going to resculpt his mustache. I sculpted that one years ago when I was new to using green stuff and after making all the changes to him and posting the new picture I realized it is terrible. So, I'm going to make it more like the vintage.

Another great batch, with Taurus just slightly more awesome than the others. Probably the beard.

I'm not happy with his mustache so I'm going to resculpt it and paint it a more red color truer to the vintage. Hoping to get to that this week or next.

Revisiting the Galaxy Rangers
I'm still not sold on the heads for Foxx and Goose so I may end changing both of them. Foxx needs a more intense/angry face and Goose wile this one is new I think I may end up going with a Clint Eastwood head sculpt since that is who he is based on. Galaxy Rangers ![]() Zachary Foxx gets an alternate arm ![]() ![]() ![]() Goose (new head) ![]() Doc ![]() Niko ![]()

So awesome, the "powered" arm on Fox is amazing! I also love Niko's softness, & how you handled the MGR drop down belts. Such a great batch from one of the very best 80's cartoons! Gonna break out my DVDs! I'm such a big fan I have both the singles & boxes lol!
