Just love the little details that you gave him, it really makes this latest version of Firefly look like a mini Hot Toys figure. Outstanding job!

I like the bomb on the gas can. And, for some reason, I dig him having a piano in his hideout.

Thanks buddy. Firefly is the coolest.
Thanks Pony! Thank you. He’s got the funds to buy it so why not? Plus it shows off my photography skills, Which is pretty easy stuff. Quote:
Another nice addition to your collection! While my favorite of your Firefly figures is the New Era Original, they all have merit, and this one captures the feel of the Resolute version quite nicely. I will say I like the gas can bomb you made immensely; it is su-weet! I may like this build a little better than the OG New Era one's, and if it had that urban camo color scheme it may have been my new favorite! Keep up the great work, man!
-Todd Shakka85 I thought about adding camo but it would take away from a completely new type of Firefly. As weird a combo it was for these two colors, it looks so damn good together. Thanks for the kind words man! Quote:
Love to his resolute concept. Quote:

He came out great! Can’t go wrong with a new version of Firefly. Really like this mercenary, geared down look for him. The two colors you chose for him really pop well off each other too.
Love that you added a removable pin for the smoke grenade! And the cord through his knife handle. Always impressed with how you are able to maneuver around these tiny parts & tied bits. His shelter and logo on his sleeve are badass too! Factor . The hardest thing on this guy was cross sewing the sheath. But it paid off lol. Thanks for taking the time to dive into to my work homie!

That you both very much! Quote:
Thanks for the kind words!

Man. this is a really nice Firefly addition! I'm really digging the two tone color scheme as well as the shoulder/thigh armor. Kudos for often departing from original character versions and being innovative in that sense.
Great stuff! |

I want new and different takes. Firefly has got so much rich history that was barely grazed. It got overshadowed by the BS ninja crap. So this is my answer to that. Just a fresh new take . Changed parts , light gear, really bold paints that are very opposite but match nice together. Thanks for appreciating the work my brotha!

Thank you for all the kind words fellas. I’ve been thinking of giving Firefly an animal and narrowed it down.
Pitbull Robot fox Hawk. Which one do you think?

Besides the attention to detail, one of my favorite aspects of your creations is the color aspect, always crisp, always striking. Firefly is another standout and I hope you continue to spoil us with all of this eye candy!

Nice! V1 New Era is still my favorite though. I'm starting to think I know who your favorite Cobra character is lol.
