Was moving some figures around so took some time to take pictures of some of my older figures where the original photos weren't so good (I'm not claiming these are better, just not...blurry). So enjoy!

Wild Dog and Richard Dragon:


King Shark:



Geo-Force and Vibe:


Modern Freedom Fighters:


Vigilante:



All-Star Squadron couples:


Nuclear Man and Captain Nazi:

I remember seeing these some time ago...they're spectacular (I really dig King Shark, Geo and Western Vigilante) thanks for re-sharing them

AWESOME work Packerbacker!! I was never a fan of Wild Dog, but he looks amazing! Shining Knight and Vigilante w/ his bike should have been incuded in the subscription. I also like the Ray and Phantom Lady, along with the rest of the group.

Hey thanks guys! I put off a lot of those guys because they seemed like such obvious choices for Mattel to make, both in popularity, and in tooling cost. Guess not. I'm waiting until after NYTF to see this 'great reveal' before I start any big name characters, but I'm going to need to start filling out my Justice League more after that. So little time...

Looking back through these figures reminds me so much of why I appreciate your work so much. You have great execution to be sure and on top of that, your character selection reaches into those often neglected corners of the DCU. Wild Dog!! Freakin' Wild Dog!! I mean heck, I made the Weird, but you took the time to bring the absolute worst Superman movie villain to life! And he looks awesome! I really need to start working on my All-Star Squadron plans........seriously, looking at your stuff is inspiring. Thanks.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'm not sure who you mean by the worst Superman movie villain though. Clearly you're not referring to Nuclear Man?

I don't know why I'm stupid and do things like try to paint these stripes on Sgt. Rock. I'm going to end up blind like John Milton and have to have my poor daughter paint for me, lol. I'm just waiting on some accessories I ordered to arrive and he'll be done. Probaby Friday?

[HectorHall]

I am looking forward to your Sgt. Rock more than toy fair. truth

[Doc]

Perfect!

Hey, thanks, Doc!

I don't even want to think about the actual hours I spent on this emblem because it should really make me question my sanity. Decals? Pfft. I scoff at decals. Actually, I came really close to trying it this time but my printer isn't doing colors proper and rather than try to tackle that I...ahem, soldiered on with hand-painting until I went to bed several nights (yep, spent multiple nights on this) cross-eyed. But after trying and re-trying multiple approaches to this, I think I'm satisfied with how it turned out...


At least until my eyes can focus again and I wonder what the heck was I thinking, lol. My toysrus package should arrive tomorrow with my bandoliers, so soon...

I actually started working on a Ragdoll custom, but I think I might try something much simpler for the next few figures...
