Awesome job Bucky. And yeah, you got the essence of Eddie in plastic form. Even though that sounds gross it's a compliment. Speaking of gross though, Ajax is debating if he wants that robe back or not. Maybe he'll send you the address of his dry-cleaner...

So, for Ganondorf: is that the small Nintendo figure or the larger one?


It's the little one. Little fat ganondorf with a big head.

Crazy. I wanted to do a Ganondorf but thought the head would be too small; of course, I have a Death's Head as a base, so it might be.

Love the GUTS! and Sgt. Rock.

Awesome stuff! Here I've been just slapping decals on 1:18 diecast vehicles that kinda look like the original vehicles and you go and match paints and chop up SDCC bits and all that. :bow:

Gears is fantastic.

Was Huffer originally orange or was that painted? It looks so clean.

Well now that you did Brawn you have to do Outback (Brawn with a big ol cannon on top).

Thanks.

Huffer's cab came in orange which was nice and convenient. The main work on that one was shortening the frame and adding the stacks.

And OB might be working on an Outback. I'm not sure.

Minibots have always been favorites of mine. I had a bunch as a kid and they are among the rare toys that I kept. Brawn in particular is still one of my favorite TF characters. You have done amazing work on all of these. They are great renditions of these characters. That group shot pulls at my nostalgia strings.

Yup. When I saw an early WIP of Brawn, I immediately picked up the same Bruder Land Rover to do Outback. He is in my WIP pile.

Thanks.

I made 1 of the drivers, but it was for part 1 and he went with beachcomber. The rest are collectors club and SDCC transformer crossover figures. I just could not find time this round to get more figures done. Tough to keep up with Bucky and OB.

Loving the American Defense figs -- I used the Karate King (a different deco, though) as my unmasked/good guy Storm Shadow for years as a kid. Great to see him and his buddies brought back to life :-)

Man, that American Defense stuff is great. When I was a kid, I always wished GI Joe would do the removable accessories like Remco figures had. One of my favorites was a redeco of Flame called Flame King or Combat King or something like that -- he was gold with black highlights and I wore that figure out playing with him. You guys did a great job of bringing out updated versions of those guys.

These are so good!

I never knew those characters were actually named "Karate King" and "Ramrod." That is hilarious.

Thanks guys. Making those American Defense figures got addictive for some reason. We were started with 1-2 each and before you knew it, we had made 8. Personally, I have bucky to thank. I never heard of American Defense before a couple of years ago when he mentioned it for a project.

Day 11 brings a retrurn of one of my favorite themes - Adventure People.

Enjoy!

OB
