I really liked POC when they came out, then lost interest a bit as I went more after having 82-94 on my shelves. Now with Eagle Force and stuff like my Resident Evil Jill custom to put them with, POC has more of a spot in my collection again.
————— Slaughter and his Renegades look awesome. Then great to see the 83 crew together. I have the Club Covergirl but definitely want to get my own custom together before I call that group complete. 84 look great as well. Need to do a Cutter before I call that group of mine complete. The Spiral Zone group is so good. Such a fun color scheme between them and really liking the designs. Think Max is my favorite from that group. The Marauder body with that helmet just work perfectly together. Oh man, Waspax is badass! You do know I have to make these as well, setting the bar so high! Love how he came out. Can’t wait for the group shot once you finish the group. Looks perfect with Spidrax. The barbarians look great together. Loving the weapons. Clone and Mara are awesome too! Love the sculpted bits. I still need to finish watching Spiral Zone. They have some really cool looking bad guys Overlord's Blackwidows that may try to make at some point. Yes...I just wanted you to have to buy more Sectaurs figures to make them since you said you were going to use Bossfight blanks. This was my devious plan all along. LOL. Yeah I'm hoping to have Skito and Skulk done by the weekend but we will see how much time I have. I haven't even started on them. Blackstar was actually my favorite of the "barbarian" cartoons. I had all the figures growing up and I never realized the cartoon was only 13 episodes. I like how they turned out for the most part and now I've started working with sheets of styrene I was able to make Blackstar's sword.

I’ve always planned for my POC style stuff to be used more for dioramas and scenes so that’s when I think I’ll get the most out of them. Like you said, not really ARAH so never look quite right on my shelves mixed in there. They did give us some really cool figures though so I definitely like them and will love it when I get the scenes and stuff together. A lot of fun to take pics of too.
I need to get back to watching stuff, haven’t really gone through anything outside of a handful of Starblazers episodes since I finished Sectaurs. I’m still gonna give it a go with BF blanks once I feel like sculpting. Those, Street Fighter and Cobra La have all been patiently waiting for that to happen while I’ve been slacking. Haha. Loving your group though so I’m not opposed to just ripping your work right off if the blanks don’t work out for me! You really did make them look straight out of Zica’s factory, would have been thrilled to get these through a KS or preorder. That’s another that I need to watch, I told you, Blackstar was “that space cowboy?” To me growing up so I totally passed. Haha. I’ve always heard good things from you and my buddy though so it’s definitely on my list. The Conan the Adventurer cartoon was my favorite barbarian cartoon, don’t see that changing because that was just an epic 90’s cartoon!

Hey buddy, Klone and Mara look amazing. I am getting the BFS parts together to make mine. Great work!

I'm all for sculpting, but those Sectaurs have so many fine details that it is ridiculous. I'm still having to sculpt quite a bit even with using actual Sectaurs' parts so I can't imagine trying to do it with BF blanks. Bravestarr was the cowboy...Blackstar was an astronaut that got stranded on another planet and then became a barbarian savior with a magic sword....ah the 80s such a great time to be a kid. Lol. Blackstar's cartoon is a little rough where as Bravestarr I highly suggest giving a watch. I never watched the Conan cartoon as I was a super cool teenager in the 90s. Thundarr, Blackstar and He-Man were the three I watched and they weren't really similar to be honest. You'll have to create your own customs thread to show them all off. They were both pretty simple. Klone has sculpted hair, belt and boot cuffs and Mara has the arms bands, boot cuff and helmet and hair.

Sectaurs was awesome though! I got off my Transformers kick for now. Threw in some He-Man and watched the first disk. I need to crack up the Voltron set and put it in.

Official Sectaurs parts or not, I have the extra Spydrax and trooper heads so I need to use them with something. Lmao, see the name’s were too similar and didn’t tell me what they were about, I still don’t know which is which. Another reason they were skipped. Make things easy for me! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles....I’m not getting confused over what that one is about. That Conan cartoon is excellent. I would recommend that one if you dare cross over into the 90’s. They look great! Funny how many of those characters I’ve made customs of already. Such an awesome group so could see customs of the ones I haven’t done at some point as well.

Yeah, Sectaurs is top notch. Was really surprised how good that was when I devoted some time to it. Still need to take some more pics of my guys together now that I have the rest of the Zica releases.

Blackstar and Bravestarr are both on YouTube. You should give them a watch. I haven't steered you wrong yet. They aren't great but worth a watch. Blackstar only got 13 episodes but Bravestarr got the full 65. 90s cartoons are rough for me outside of X-Men and Spiderman, but I'll give it a chance. I did watch Pirates of Dark Water too.

Nice work on those Blackstar pieces. Super clean lines on the paint- most impressive.
