So now that I've done the majority of the "Sunbow" Joes missing from the 25th collection, I'm starting to hit up the later 80s and early 90s Joes. Specifically, some of my fonder ones from the DiC cartoon. While a lot of people hated that cartoon, it was just a continuation of Joe to me, and while it was full of many bad characters, there were some select Joes that I really liked. Ambush was one of them. And since SDS did such a fantastic job on the head sculpt for him, it was time I finally made him.

That paint job is amazing. Looks like it came straight out of the package.

Wow, Rex, nice job. You really went for it. Although apologies if I don't say this doesn't give off a Blade Runner vibe.
