Thanks! Really loving him too, glad I took the extra steps to add the paint apps. Taking the time to do that definitely pushed him up another level!
Haha, yeah, that’s why Bison got so much use for me as a kid. He was just a natural fit for so many different Cobra groups. Such a great character.

Like most of the classic or v1 figures, a lot of the time they are used as my starting point to get to the color scheme that I found more interesting or that I thought would be more fun to make a custom of. Growing up I had the original single carded Bison but then I also had the one packed with the Crimson Cruiser and I LOVED that version! So up next is one I’m not sure if I saw a custom of before, v2 M. Bison.
So same formula as my V1, just working through my original MTF armored figures. So I started this one with an extra tan camo guy I wasn’t using and went all in on the full body paint job to replicate the unique color scheme of the 2 toy. Only difference between my v1 is how I prefer to display them and also I unintentionally used a different style hat. Happy mistake though because it gives them both slightly different looks. M. Bison v2 In all of the gear up options, I prefer the plain look because I just enjoy the coloring and paint job too much to break it up with the armor or cape: With his v1 brother: With his ride, the Crimson Cruiser: And taking on Guile and the Sonic Boom Tank:

Never seen that color scheme on Bison before.....shocker right. I was out of Joes by like 88 or so, but I knew the Street Fighter figures existed and played Street Fighter II on SNES. I really like those colors on him. Doesn't scream M. Bison to me being as I've only seen him in his normal colors, but still a great custom.
That picture of the Bisons standing together gives me a Myles and Maximus Mayhem vibe. Like they are evil twins.

I love how vibrant both versions of Bison look, you've never showed hesitation in using strong colors! Awesome work!!
I really dig the added cape on V1 Bison as it adds a bit to the character. Keep them coming!! |

If you haven't recently, go check out the first post in this thread.
Hit & Run has put in all the hard work of creating an index with pictures of his work. Sooooo much custom goodness in this thread. Impressive to see it all together. One of my favorites on the 'tank for sure! Side note: why is Hit & Run's thread named Orzo's Customs & Kitbashes? |
