Slim! Great job on this one too. I admit, I have no idea who it is (sorry), but he looks great. Colors pop and paint is spot on.

Yeah, you just keep making Lion-O better and better! Loving the additional bulk on him, the poses with both swords, the sight beyond sight pose and the new head sculpt! I swore the hair changed when I was comparing the front page version to this new one but wasn’t sure if my eyes were just playing tricks on me. I hope you are 100% happy with this one, I thought all of the versions kicked ass but being your favorite character, I get needing him to feel right to you.
Looking at the vintage figure for Slim......wow, you took all of the charm that the original figure had, then added detailing to really make him an awesome custom. Loving this one, the gold pops off the maroon so well. The sculpting bits on the shoulders and around the waist are excellent!

I used pictures of the vintage figure and from the cartoon and combined them for my Slim. Not being familiar with the cartoon or toys really I didn't know what was most recognizable about him so I just took bits and pieces of both.

Yes, you're doing STARCOM now! I never had any, but a neighbor did, and we used to have all sorts of adventures in his backyard.

Slim might be the only one. I may come back to them as the designs are really cool, but I have no connection to them really. I have several customs planned, but Starcom is only like 12 episodes I think and they are all on YouTube so I may try and give them a watch and like how Dirk was the only Spiral Zone character planned until I started really watching the cartoon and then decided to make them all the same may be true of Starcom.

Great paint and sculpting with Starcom. I very dig the color combo on this character; borrowing your words to describe him, gold, maroon, white and blue all played off each other really well. Exactly that!

Thanks the colors do look great together but looking at him tells me I jumped the gun posting him as I'm seeing lots of touch ups that need to be done. I'll try to get to that take new pics to replace these.
