I really like the redos on your COPS line. Sundown and Bulletproof look great in the new designs/ incarnations! Also, I remember the first time you made the Buttons McBoomBoom and I thought that was an inventive solution - Well he is even cooler the second time around, Flint!!!

A few more COPS updates here before I give them their own new thread
Longarm New powercuff, head and paint job. Berserko New sculpt work to make jacket more like the vintage figure, new paint job and finally gets the "BAAAD IS GOOD!" on the shirt Bowser All new sculpt work for his straps, new paint job and new head sculpt plus new sculpted badge for his helmet. The badges for the helmets are a huge upgrade and will be seen on all of the ones that have a badge on their helmets in their thread.

So as I've done before I dipped back into the 70s to bring some of the bigger action figures into modern 4 inch scale. This time I focused on Big Jim and the Pack. They were a ridiculously awesome toy line from Mattel in the 70s. Again a little before my time but once I came across them I wanted to make them
The Pack With Zorak Big Jim Warpath The Whip Torpedo Fist Dr. Steel Zorak

I'm not familiar with these guys at all and ...I love them! Zorak (almost has a AD&D vibe), Torpedo Fist (a scurvy cyborg) & The Whip (love the boomerang chest) are just sensational, but the whole pack is chef's kiss!

Definitely look them up to see the original figures "dolls". You'll get a kick out of them. Once I came across them I definitely wanted to make them.

Nice group. Fuck, are you digging deep! That dragon tat is very nicely done- don't know if it's painted or a slide- if it's painted, very impressive, if its a slide, that's impressive application. Seamless, even
So, I'm going to level with you- old toyline, even toys you didn't have or play with are on the table, may I offer you this:

With that being said I've had him planned for at least 2 years and haven't gotten to him yet.

As far as repurposing subject matter that very much wasn't for kids into a kids show, I think they did a pretty good job. Borrows more Kull lore with the snake people, but was a decent effort.

The dragon tattoo on Dr. Steel is indeed a waterslide. I meant to answer that before but forgot.
