I loved the A-Team as a kid, but always hated the 4 inch figures we got as they didn't look anything like the show or the far superior 6 inch line which I really liked. I just always wanted smaller versions of them to go with my Joes.
I've posted these in my Best of the 80s thread too, but decided to continue with giving each group their own thread when I feel like they are officially finished. All new head sculpts for all of them. I decided to go with two versions of Hannibal. One that looks like the vintage toy and then one that is more tv show accurate. I had to have a version with the black gloves and cigar. A-Team Hannibal BA New head sculpt, new bracelets, resculpted the vest with new paint job and new necklace. Murdock Face

You didn't just make the A-Team, you did Galoob A-Team!
Fantastic! |

Nowhere near as in-depth as your A-Team project. I just wanted the main 4 to look like the bigger vintage figures.

You are always extremely faithful to the source materials you base your customs on, too.
The end results have a level of nostalgia that mine don't, because I use "artistic license" as an excuse to be lazy and not faithfully recreate/replicate many design elements on mine. Your route sets a higher bar, and the results are delightful. The painstaking detail work you do speaks for itself. |

Solid cuts, buddy. I'm always impressed by the old toys you still own

The customs are just homages to my great childhood of the 80s.

Thanks.
I don't but I've looked into both the Greenlight and Hotwheels 1:18 scale. They are each a little pricey. Hotwheels looks to the better one, but it is also quite a bit more.
