I never show off the figures while they're WIPs but this board encourages me to WANT TO share the artistic vision at various stages and not JUST the final works. This place is like home indeed. so here's some of the figures I'm doing right now. Flak Viper:  Can you guess?  |

Nice, gotta get more ridiculous baby blue on the Flak Viper. Your's is too respectable looking.  Can't figure out the second mystery figure, but I think the one with the hlemet's either a TARGAT or Nullifier. Great work so far. |

I agree, the first Mystery guy is a Nullifier. I am thinking the second one is Grunt, but you know me and thinking; they normallydon't go over well at all. ;D

The first mystery IS in fact a TARGAT (the Nullifier is still coming though)! He's gonna be BAD ASS when I'm done with him! The second guy, well, the Grunt suggestion tells me that the object of this design WAS successful. It's actually a character my friend ECTO challenged me to make respectable.... yeah, another NFC signature reimagining.  Think: "no longer a Village Person"  He didn't think I'd take his choice for the most random Joe Challenge would be taken seriously. Ooooh he of little faith.  |

Wildcard!
Now there's an obscure one for you!

Wildcard! Now there's an obscure one for you! shit yeah he is. expert as I am at the weird one-shot characters that nearly every driver in the line represents and I forgot about him. no, wait.... actually, ya know, that's not wholly true. I CAN tell you off the top of my head what his filecard's write up says (except his filename, that escapes me, but his specialties and his biggest quirk are easy trivia for this geek LOL) and I like the character though the figure blew chunks. His comic book appearances all worked pretty well too. I DID forget him in my EXTENSIVE mental analysis of the most random and obscure Joes I could make into 25A figures though. And trust me when I say that the list of C list and D list obscurities-central Joes, IGs, Cobras, Noks, and Others that I HAVE considered is a lot longer than "oops, forgot 'em" names. Yet Wildcard DID slip by. I'm slipping in my old age... how can I consider Anniversary takes on Thunderwing, Rampage, Space Shot, ICS, Sideswipe, Burnout, Zanzibar, Otis, Wild Boar, Nitro Viper, Neurotoxin, and Dark Ninja Master... but forget Wild Card? |

Tollbooth is almost done! ;D I just finished the paint apps, just one more step to finish the figure. I'll try and get him photographed soon.

Ooooh, I like how you used the forearm guards.......looks interesting! Without knowing what it was, I would have mistaken it for a De Aco too......
Smooth sculpting on the torso! Also, what waist piece is that? Are those Jango Fett armor on his shins?

Metal Head? That'd be my other guess. |

That is coming along. Already knowing what it is before this started and talking to you, I'd say you nailed the idea you were going for!

Metal Head? That'd be my other guess. indeed. he's going to look perfectly maniacal, I'm even sculpting the mullet he sported on the cartoon. |

Figured from the head it was Metal Head. The chestplate made me change my original guess.
