I decided to try and accomplish something I've wanted since I was a kid and that was to have all of my favorite characters from the epic 80s cartoons and even some movies and tv shows as well as just toy lines all in the same scale.

I've been working on the project for around a year and a half and I'll be posting them here and in the customs section over time.

Hopefully, this will be a nice bit of nostalgia for most of us.

really awesome so far! including the og figures makes your work shine! your translations into 4" improve every single one of them. i can't wait to see what you post next. cops seems like a pretty deep dive into 80's action figures.

Thanks! Next will be the Crooks from the same line. COPS was one of my favorite toy lines growing up and I've made more of them than any other line.

For the project I've tried to include somebody from every cartoon or toy line I could think of and the project is still ongoing.

I applaud your passion!

At some point we realize companies aren't going to make what we want in the scale we prefer so it's not going to happen unless we do it.

These are awesome! I loved the COPS cartoon when I was a kid but never really got into the toys since they were so out of scale with everything else out there at the time. I can't wait to see your take on Buttons McBoomboom!

Thanks! Glad to have another COPS fan. Buttons was a challenge, but I think he turned out okay.

been watching your work on facebook, and glad to see it here. Fantastic project. Attention to detail is perfect. I'd love to see some WIPs on some of those, just based on how much sculpting work I'm envisioning went into them.

also, pretty telling on the archaic mindset of toymakers that none of your awesome lady character customs have originals to compare to.

Some I kind of remember from the toy isle I think! But most of these are new to me. They are all cool. I really like big boss.

Thanks! I'll try and and post some WIP pics at some point. I know I did take some of most of them. Sometimes I forget to though and realize it once I'm painting.

Thanks. Hopefully, I hit on some that you definitely remember.

Lol, yeah I know. I'm slowly working my way through the entire roster. She may eventually get made. It took me a long time to get to Mainframe and Nightshade too.
