Once again, you guys are on fire with these customs.
I didn't remember that Jimmy was supposed to be the Shadow Boss in the original DD game.
Great to see the Contra dudes in "Joe" form.

Also regarding Double Dragon,

I don't know when I've ever seen an Episode 1 Obi-Wan head on a custom figure and thought, "That looks great!"

But...

THAT LOOKS GREAT!

RIGHT!?

The subtle camo on the Contra guys is also a nice touch. The figures would have been fine without it, but with it, it gives a little more punch. Now figure out how to show off a scatter shot or swirling fire ball from their guns and you're good.

I think I have an idea about how to make those.

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

I wish GUTS were a real thing, just like they are pictured. It'd be a boon for customizers.

I think I'd buy all of these GUTS figures to put alongside my Joe collection, the look great and have a ton of character for being based on such small figures.

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

They all look great, but the Sgt Rock stuff is what made me have to comment -- I loved the Rock stuff when I was a kid and had a lot of it. They had back pockets that were usable! You did a great job with them and I'd love to see more. I made the bad guys a while back, and think I posted them here, but can't remember. They are generic, but that's what makes them great. They fit in anywhere.
