Forca Fera is awesome but they're rare and expensive and some of the recipes aren't all that creative. So I made my own.

When I started gathering parts I decided not to use any parts they used for the Brazil figures because I wanted to capture the essence of the original characters without recreating them.

Leontor, he's not an exact clone of Backblast anymore, now he's a unique wildlife scout in a t-shirt with Brazil Army coat of arms

Urzor, no longer green Repeater now he's kind of a bandito guy

cool project! I never saw that source set/pic before, the animals are very neat!

your figures are a cartoon I would watch! as a kid or now you captured a lot of personality with your parts and paid great tribute to the source!

What head is on Urzor?

Thanks for the kind words! Now I wish I could see these guys in animation, I’d never thought of it before. Obscure foreign Joes are always interesting to me.

JD, I love everything about these. Awesome how you reimagined the characters taking them in a different direction while still maintaining the overall essence of the original. Excellent work!

The hat makes him look kinda funny, but Urzor is my favorite of this group.

thanks Jonah, that means a lot! This project was rewarding, I was happy I actually finished them all.

the hat is pretty ridiculous It was just so different from the original, I just had to go with it.

All 4 of these are fantastic, I love how you kept the spirit of each one intact while making them very different from the the figures they were based on. I've been wanting to do customs of these guys for quite some time. Kangor looks great with that head, like the idea of keeping him a fighter. I've never seen a custom Leontor before, awesome job separating him from backblast. Urzor looks excellent as well. The sombrero is a bold choice, but I like it, it does give him a very unique look. Great head choice too. Also digging Tigor, good parts combo and I like the hat choice.

Using all-different parts was a smart move. These are great.
