Action Jackson looks fantastic, really like the blue jumpsuit look. Then that was a good head choice for one of the doll homages. Great job on hand painting his logo as well. That couldn?t have been easy in white.
Jet Jungle is awesome as well. He has that fun old school simplicity to him that still comes out looking really cool in a modern build. I have a white haired head that I wasn?t sure what to use for, might need to do my own Jet down the road. Love his Jaguar pal. Making me jealous with all of these doll homages that Fresh Monkey has me wanting now. Both look great next to the Zica versions. Really loved how theirs turned out, but then when I found out they weren?t accurate to the original figures, it caused me to pass even though I love that Captain Action line. Saw Zica Action Jackson at a toy show this weekend, almost picked him up but I had already grabbed too much stuff so he ultimately got left behind. Had they had Jet also, might have just bit the bullet because they were the two that I wanted beyond the Captain Action that I already have. The next 70s group is the big one I've been waiting to show.

Your adventure team is so badass! All ones that I?ll need to make at some point so it?s awesome to see how great they can look with modern parts. Bullet -Man and GI Joe are fantastic but that Atomic Man is brilliant! Super smart build with the clear parts and then love the shorts & the camo shirt.

Some more fun 70s stuff
Big Jim had a toy line, but eventually it faded away and Big Jim was reimagined as the leader of a crime fighting unit called the P.A.C.K. That's the version of Big Jim I decided to go with. I do eventually want to add some other P.A.C.K. members to the customs. Big Jim

Mentioned it in the solo thread, Big Jim looks great! Looking forward to seeing you tackle more of the line since there seems to be a wide variety of themes & looks there.

Thanks. I swear it really took me a long time to think through these guys and pick the parts. I went back and forth on what to use. They were on my desk for what seemed like forever. Even Joe who was a super simple custom gave me fits trying to figure out exactly how to make him.

Haha, definitely been there with many customs over the years! Always satisfying when you crack the formula though and you absolutely did with that batch! Oh, I'm sure you could make them and probably better than these. Though they would have a dark brooding overtone. I always love seeing your customs.

Finishing off my 70s customs with Pulsar. Another figure I was too young to have any heard of until I was researching some 60s and 70s figures. Apparently he was Mattel's answer to the 6 Million Dollar Man. He looked really fun so I decided to take a shot at making him in 4 inch scale.
Along with his other bionic counterparts from Hasbro and Kenner 60s/70s group shots
