These group shots always make me so jealous! Haha. Really hoping to have a MASK collection that comes off half as good as yours at some point. I have a few of the masks but need to figure out some builds still.

You're sculpting now, so you'll figure it out no problem. Somewhere in this thread are my WIP pics of MASK I think. Those group shots are what the project is all about. My favorites are the Thundercats, but they don't crossover well with Joe, Centurions, MASK etc. They are more along the lines of He Man, but I just wasn't a big fan of that cartoon growing up. With that said I would love to add Beastman, Man at Arms, Trap Jaw and Teela to the customs.

Newest addition to the COPS
Not a custom but loved the movie and pretty sure he had his own cartoon Robocop from Hiya Toys

Safari Joe is awesome! That is just spot on, great job! So funny that we have off the shelf parts to make him now.
Robo-Cop looks awesome with the COPS lineup! How is the quality on him? Was trying to decide if I was gonna pick up one or two figures from their line since I was a huge Robo-Cop fan growing up and I had figures from the original toyline. Quote:

After seeing how well sculpted parts can be blended in with torsos and heads, might be able to get some of my ARAH run done that I was sort of stuck on for a while.

Was trying to decide if I was gonna pick up one or two figures from their line since I was a huge Robo-Cop fan growing up and I had figures from the original toyline. Went back through the thread and found the pictures you were talking about, thanks! definitely selling yourself short on the sculpting, didn’t realize just how many body parts / accessories were sculpted across all of your lines. There were a lot of accessories sculpted to the bodies that I thought were just parts of the torsos you started with and some heads that I thought were full casts but then from the WIP pictures I realized a lot of them were things you actually made. Definitely learned a lot about just by going through your pics again, plus it’s fun to take all of these characters in one by one. Forgot about some that don’t always make it into the group shots. After seeing how well sculpted parts can be blended in with torsos and heads, might be able to get some of my ARAH run done that I was sort of stuck on for a while. Yep, for Safari Joe the only thing sculpted are the red patches on his shoulders. I do plan to get the Mindbender head from the Club release to replace that head eventually. Lots of sculpt work, but some is better than other. I've considered creating a thread where I just show the WIP pics of the project. I always really like seeing how a custom was created. I don't know that I took pics of all of them as I worked, but as I got further along I did so I could look back on what parts were used. Thanks for the compliments. *Okay, after posting this I went back through this thread and realized I had posted LOTS of WIP pics that I didn't even realize I had posted. So, I guess I'll scrap the other thread idea. I really do love seeing all the great customizers WIP pictures though and seeing how customs come together. So many threads on here I check out daily and go back through often (Hit & Run buddy yours is one of them)

Cool, probably pick up a Robocop from that line then. I have the Swamp Thing they made but didn’t bite the bullet and order Robocop yet. Probably get him for a one off or maybe try to put together some figures from the old toy line with the cap gun feature.
If you’re looking for one that is a little taller / bulkier and don’t care as much about the articulation, the ones from the 93 line are a little larger than Marauder figures. Yeah, your work in progress pics are great, definitely enjoyed going back through them to see how you got to your finished products. Plus it’s always good to see if maybe I can get some ideas for some extra parts that I’ve had sitting around for a while. And totally agree! So many great threads on here that I love going through! Thanks for the shout out too! Glad I can return the favor by having some cool stuff for you to look at because I always enjoy seeing what you’re dropping in here.

Itch buddy I thought you had given up on this thread. I may very well do that thread. Not sure how interesting it would be but like I said I love seeing WIP pics. How are your MASK and other figures coming along?
