This is the last COPS N Crooks custom thread...I promise. I was just going to update the older thread with new pictures, but almost all of them got minor updates and some got complete redos so for final time here are my final versions of the COPS N CROOKS in 4 inch scale. After 4 years I'm finally happy with all of them.

These are amazing. I have this vivid memory of seeing Hyena and Nightmare in KB toy way back in the day and at the time I thought they were way too out there and strange so I wasn't interested. I don't think I had any of the toys actually except Dr. Badvibes. Now as an adult I really appreciate not only the designs but the color theory or color interplay, whatever you want to call it the designers definitely had a great grasp on color combinations that grab the eye.

There are some characters here I didn't know existed, which I assume are comic/cartoon exclusives?
You work here is top notch, of course. You had the extra task of convetring a line of figures that didn't have a "standard buck" body type and were highly stylized into more realistic body types. Not only did you do it, but you maintained the core of each character while stripping away the exaggerated elements. With as many different police uniforms as Hasbro developed for this line, almost none of them ended up existing in the "future time" of 2024. Did you think about giving any of them the "real 2024" design shift? Just curious. |

Oh man oh man. I had all these as a kid and you have faithfully recreated them. Hardtop, nightshade and mainframe are my faves. You gonna try for any of the vehicles?

As far as creating "my own" designs...no I've never really thought about it. There were some canceled that I may look at at some point. Quote:
Thanks. I really appreciate it. Thanks!

This is an amazing labor of love. Pic intensive & so worth the revisit... every time! One of your finest sets. No matter what DNL puts out in the future, it will be an entirely different take than the detail & care that you put into all of these to make them accurate & your own, making your collection always stand above the rest.
