Figures Tars Tarkas

Nice. Love that you have found your niche in the Pulp genre. I like to dabble there, but you truly are going in-depth with all of your customs. Great job here as well. I find it impressive that you didn't "have to" use a green blank, but went with a mixture. I HATE sanding all the joints and prep work and always try to get a color close to what I'm going to paint to avoid as much of that work as possible.

He looks fantastic. Well done!

Nice job sculpting those horns and the torso! Great work! Given the extra weight for the top, does he stand well? Did he topple over easy while you were posing him for pics or did those HACKS legs and larger feet do the job keeping him upright?

Really well done. One more franchise that needs some great figures, but saw this lady on BBTS the other day:

He toppled over CONSTANTLY! I think it's a mix of the double torso as well as using kind of loose legs...or maybe it's the crotch piece. I managed to get him in a pose where he balances nicely.

Flint, thank you so much! I'm still chasing that Lone Ranger and Tonto custom.

Paokole, trust me, a Dejah Thoris IS in the works!

Nice! I love that there's more and more Barsoom merch out there.
