Gonna have to agree with the masses here and say this is one of my favorites, so far as Spirit customs go. The soft goods work really well, because you've made them appear to be pretty well scaled to the figure. I am loving the fur boot cuffs, the knife sheath, and that wrist wrap for Freedom. The paints are spot on, as usual. Thanks for sharing!

That’s a beautiful Spirit! I think your last 6” drop with Storm Shadow was my favorite of yours in that scale and this 3.75-4” Spirit is my favorite of yours in this size. He’s a really beautiful update to Spirit and it would be hard to think of anything that would make the character better.
Love the cotton and fabric pieces on him. Really accents the parts and paint job so well. You blended them all perfectly. Those legs work great for Spirit and the braids are perfect. Awesome job!

Man you truly killed it with this Spirit custom, definitely a favorite of mine together with Hit & Run! I also agree with your decision to keep a clean/crisp look with the shirt and needless to say your use of soft goods is just exceptional!
Kudos for another fantastic custom!! |

Your continued use of cloth/alternate material items is definitely Signature Slice—so good! Love the fur on the boots, too.

Cutting 1/18s scale materials to size is tedious business. Glad everyone loves this version of Spirit.

Kudos for another fantastic custom!! Their were certain things from his ARAH look that I didn’t want to change. 1 was his Colors. 2 was his weapon set ups. Long range riffle and cqc blades. The rest was left to imagination. I very much appreciate the kind words homie!

The detail is amazing and at first glance, I thought it was a different scale. Amazing stuff.
