Figures Deep Six (v2) by AxonRey

Really liked this one as a kid for some reason- and didn't think the 25th really captured its uniqueness

Same, I was really let down with the vintage clunky v1 Deep Six but I always liked the character in the cartoon so when the v2 came out when I was a kid, I was hooked! He had such a fun color scheme and his thick orange diver?s helmet was badass!

As someone who was also let down by the 25th offering and plan to make my own more accurate version at some point......absolutely love what you did here! The build is fantastic, definitely has the look of mass while also still being functional which is important for this design. Your accessorizing is flawless, love the bits in his shins to mimic the original look, then the pieces for the waist & upper torso are spot on and your helmet perfectly finishes off the look.

Excellent colors & paint job as always, the main suit color is so cool and the orange, green & silver all pop so well off of it, then you always pull out a unique head for your builds which makes every character distinct and that backdrop / dio is badass! He looks amazing in those pics! Great job.

Superb! Not just the clean paint & color choice but the use of parts, I really had to look to recognize where you where pulling from because everything meshes together so flawlessly.

Love everything about this one! XD

Looks really good. I too was let down by the 25th one. Was even more disappointed that the first 25th one followed the original one with that barely articulated figure.

Yours looks really good.

Great job ax, he looks miles better than the 25th version.

As always, a great figure! This was my first version of him, so he's always been the one I preferred.

Outstanding job you totally captured the feel of the original v2!!
