Jaw-droppingly good, they look like mini-versions of Hasbro's takes. Tiamat be praised! Looking at your clever parts usage and outstanding sculpt/paintwork...those eyes look tampoed! Flint, you just keep getting better & better!

Those new heads really top off those figures! (no pun intended)

The slight design change you made to Hank's shoulder-wrap thing (no idea what it's called) is an improvement. Wonderful set, too!

Thanks! The new heads along with not being lazy and doing sculpt work for Presto instead of throwing the cloth robe on and adding all the little details for the others made a lot of difference.

LOl. Yes, those were badly needed to make them look right.

Thanks. Just got lucky with using a BFS part that looked good on that one.

Thanks guys. Those were two groups that really needed to be revisited as I just didn't think they were as good as they could be.

HUGE THANK YOU to everybody that has commented in the thread. Today makes 5 years since I started this and I've had so many great interactions and positive comments along the way even when I look back at some customs from 5 years ago and wonder why anybody thought they were good lol.

I wanted to do a huge set up with lots of the customs together, but I haven't. Maybe after work today if time permits.
