This character is a deep dive into a stupid lake. The early 2000's Action Man cartoon featured cgi that is almost painful to watch now. But it had a serialized storyline with a concrete ending, plus enjoyable characters.

Action Man was part of Team Xtreme, which included Ricky Sighn-Baines. Unlike Fidget the internet influencer (before they were even called that) or Grinder the pilot, Ricky's job seemed to be group buzzkill.

I used a very similar recipe to make the A-Team's Frankie. Both figures even have dark hair and ponytails. The Frankie figure had a vest, so I didn't sculpt one for Ricky to keep their designs apart. (The A-Team set was made for a friend, so I can't do a side-by-side of the two).

The paint for the trousers is about 10% metallic, giving them a bit of subtle shimmer that suits sometimes have. I also didn't put Ricky in a suit jacket because I just made Mission Impossible's Barney Collier in a suit.

Singh

Nice.

Just Singh, not Singh-Baine? I guess you can't trust the internet!

Glad you like it. It's very niche, so I'm happy.

So, as an American, I thought it was stupid that Action Man had an American/Canadian accent. Should have been British. Did that bother you?

It is Singh-Baines, I was correcting the spelling of Singh.

I never saw the series. If it aired over here it was on some kids cable channel equivalent that I never watched or knew about. I wasn't overly impressed with the extreme sports angle that made up much of the '90s/2000s era Action Man at the time as I was born in '78 and had a small number of AM figures in the early '80s before getting into Action Force and then Joe, so I was more interested in the military Action Man, but as an adult, and a fan-fic writer, the second AM generation does have a good idea for a story behind it even if I don't care for some of it. But, yes, I do think Action Man should be British.

Gotcha on the name, and thanks. It has been submitted to joecustoms.com with the correct spelling.

I was hoping you'd say that there was a British-voice version released there. Really disappointing that there wasn't. I'll go so far as to say it's disrespectful to the character's legacy.

That said, I recommend it if you feel like eating up more time on youtube. It hits all the right spots: a seedy government agency, a sultry villainess turns good at the last minute, likable-but-dopey characters, a robot dog, and a satisfying ending with an actual payoff.

I don't know who wrote it or who the show runner was, but they obviously took their jobs seriously (enough).

If we're going with that spelling, I'm good changing the title, if you'd like.

It's a very sparse design, but it looks clean, which is about the best one can do with it.
