Really like the Col. Trautman and Gen. Warhawk customs.

Sadly all the great vintage stuff just gets pulled out for pictures and put right back up. I really want to be able to display it at some point. Problem is I have tons of it. The Joe headquarters, Whale, Terrordrome, PITT from the movie, about 20 other Joe vehicles, multiple batmobiles, batcaves, tons and tons of big star wars vehicles, all the vintage COPS stuff, I have 5 MU sentinels, Giant Man BAF, Galactus and the list is just stupid. I started out doing MU customs for years and then switched over to the 80s stuff. I have a nearly complete collection of MU and around 70 customs. Thanks. I tried to stay more cartoon than movie which is why Trautman looks younger b/c he did in the cartoon but I had to go with the Stallone look for Rambo even though the cartoon didn't really resemble him.

—————— Trautman looks awesome! You did a perfect update to the original figure. Funny how much the vintage looks like Trautman as well, they did a great job on that sculpt. I’ll definitely be making my own Trautman down the road, the older First Blood version though. So cool to see young Trautman ready to get in the middle of the action though! Love how this group looks together and another set of completely badass Past & Present shots! I never can get enough of past and present shots, just look so cool no matter who the character is.

It’s basically He-Man and Captain Power vs Mumm-Ra to me since I don’t really know the other guys well and that duo takes down poor Mumm-Ra.
Haha, that fight would have been the final issue of Aquaman’s comic. He can call all the fish friends he wants, they’re not helping him survive a battle with Mer-Man! —————— Trautman looks awesome!

BRAVESTARR!!!! You've never watched Bravestarr? Oh man it is so good. Space sheriff that has animal powers and his sidekick is a 7 ft tall talking horse that is armored up has an attitude problem and carries a huge gun...Thirty-Thirty is his name. Bravestarr has the strength of a bear, speed of a puma, ears of a wolf and eyes of a hawk. Definitely go and check out some episodes on YouTube.
————— Everyone posting Hondo pics today! Haha. Great crossover pic! I know you’re talking about redoing some Bionic 6 but I always love the female figure you have in this picture. She might be my favorite of your B6 crew. Same for that COPS team member. So many great customs in that picture.

I need some new ideas for crossover shots. I've considered doing a versus type set up like Mumm-Ra's mutants vs Skeletor's crew or Big Boss's crooks vs Dr. Scarab's goons. Not a fight just putting them side by side, but IDK yet.

Haha, Bravestarr was definitely “that space cowboy show?” to me growing up. It was an instant channel change. I didn’t start liking cowboys until Toy Story came out and I could start watching Clint Eastwood movies. I’ll add him to my list of things to watch though because I know a lot of people love the character.

I just think my sculpt and paint have come a long ways and they could definitely be improved upon. As you know I'll redo Lion-O and Panthro, but I really want to work on new stuff too. I wanted you to see what suit makes Hondo happy!

These look awesome!! I always enjoy seeing the diversity in your builds, ranging from MU, Hasbro, MTF to BFS and customs with sculpted pieces added.
Your displays are just flawless my friend! |

Might have to copy that General Warhawk custom sometime as I love it! Thanks for the additional Rambo FOF pics, as they further illustrate your amazing attention to detail when attributing the originals!
