Hasbro gave us Leoric in the SDCC box set a few years back and at the time I was hopeful we may see more Visionaries made, but similar to the tease with the Matt Trakker figure in the 25th line Leoric was a one and done.
I liked Visionaries as a kid even though they were a little too big to fit in perfectly with my Joes. I decided to add Whitterquick, Cryotek and Darkstorm to go with Leoric and fit into the Best of the 80s project.

These really came out great! Love Visionaries my brother has an awesome vintage collection. I was lucky enough to get the DVD set when that (& Pole Position) were offered in Canada a decade or so ago.

Awesome! I've had a nearly complete set of Visionaries ever since I was a kid. Would be nice if they came back but only if they still had the holograms!!

Thanks, yeah they were a very niche thing. Thanks. Yeah the holograms really set them apart, but since the Leoric Hasbro gave us didn't have one I kind of doubt we will be seeing the holograms used again.

You do such a badass job with these 80’s lines, absolutely loving the latest addition to your Visionaries! Think he’s actually my favorite of the group now, that design is just so cool, then you did an amazing job with the sculpted parts as always. Love how you knock out their holograms, they were such a unique touch to the original line and you do an excellent job recreating the effect. Well done across the board with this line, so cool to see a group of them together in 3.75”.

All I can say is wow...so well done. I have these figures and your colors match up, the molds match up and just so good an homage that it seems like a better word should be used, but I'm not that smart. Great job!

Thanks. I wish I had the vintage figures, but they are a bit pricey to find complete. I may slowly start a loose collection. I try to stay as close to the source material as my skills will allow lol.

Taking another pass at these guys as I'm thinking of doing some myself. I think I commented in your master thread, but these are really cool, smart builds, and the hologram effects are tight
