Hey BD, what figure did you use for the big guy with the gattling gun shield ( cool btw )? I tried to find him with some Joy Toy searches, but I didn't see a figure who was overly large like that. All the Joy Toy figs I saw were all about the same height.

You've got some great work here!
This is the first time I've really looked at the JoyToy figures, especially the female ones. Those are great bases for customs. The updates to the characters push the limits of recognizability, but don't cross the line. Great designs! The original characters are good, too. Vypra: https://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-j...tesdragon.html and Hotline: https://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-j...tesdragon.html Thanks man, I really lucked out that skin tones and sleeves/shirt are almost an exact match. The only challenging part was fitting the parts together. Hiya are not as easy to work with as a lot of the figure is cast in plastic that is harder and more brittle. I had to use rubber in the shoulders/torso to get them to fit snug. Quote:
JoyToy just released some bigger figures that have a space theme and there are even bigger Warhammer 40k figures coming soon.

BatesDragon, awesome man, loving your JoyToy Dreadnoks, perfect for them, got that futuristic stempunk vide too then too! Luv ‘em all, especially the ladies ;D Heartbreaker, Zarana wow, btw think the pants on Zarana suit her perfectly myself, and your Road Pig type variant in your universe is one bad mean mofo, good idea using an Ares figures an stuff, he’s one badazz! An so digging Zandar, digging them all!
Yeah the Warhammer 40,000 figures look awesome its a real shame all of us that don’t live in Asia wont be able to buy none because JT said they only have the licence to sell ‘em in China etc and not worldwide, shame that :( I used to buy tons of that Warhammer 40k as a kid, metal lead miniatures, still I guess we can still get them on eBay and places later on but hopefully not for silly prices, can hope right? Keep up the awesome work! Lee. |

They came out looking great! The JoyToy stuff really does work well for Dreadnoks, liking what you did with them. Totally new looks but easily identifiable as part of Zartan’s crew. Can’t wait to see more, I’ve mainly only handled their blanks so cool to see more of their other builds being shown off.

Zanya
I haven't the time or resources to keep up with the comic continuity, so my Zanya is very different. I see her as a daughter that Zartan obviously didn't raise, but he was in contact throughout her life. Taking a more active role as she came into her late teens she's spent much of her formative years in Zartan's everglades retreat. Zartan has been grooming her (not in that way) to become his heir to the "Dreadnok Throne." Yes, she's missing her dreadlocks and she has a cybernetic arm. I don't feel like the dreads are necessary as people do change their hair often. I was going to change the arm but, I just like the thought of her losing it in a grudge match with a gator. The gator got her arm but she got the gator's hide. Of course with Zartan's connections she gets a M.A.R.S. prosthetic. Zanya is a combination of 2 JoyToy ladies: The Awakening "Covergirl" figure and a mechanic from the red maintenance team released more recently. The upper waist/hips, kneepads, vest, etc. are various fodder. The Chameleon is a 1/25 JoyToy modular motorbike/hovercraft. It works well as a 1/18 Chameleon as there are a few different possible configurations that are cool.

I have a version of Zartan in a group shot but I'm not satisfied with that as my version. He looks more "around town" than mission ready. So here is my JoyToy, Dark Source inspired Zartan.
I like this head, seems maniacal and reminds me of Boyd on Justified. I had to paint his teeth as they were unpainted flesh tone. I tried his eyes solid white but decided to paint his pupils back. His shirt color I chose as homage to his color change feature. Not sure I'm satisfied with his face paint, but it'll do for now. Instead of the old maroon cowl I gave him a maroon helmet.

Nice concept of Zartan.
