I'm just in shock at how awesome these figures are. Wow!

That Slice is the standout to me. Amazing!

Seriously, you are an inspiration to all of us ARAH customizers.

Wow. Roadblock is by far the best I've ever seen and I really like the Major Barrage customs and the 25th Ann version a lot. So that is saying something. The parts are perfect. Most of them unrecognizeable as to their originas. The only thing I'm not sold on is the tan pants. I liked the originals darker brown better. I think it played off his skin tone better along with the greens or something. Your use of tan here is a little too close to :nicepants: for my tastes, but that could just be me. :D

You don't see Slice customs every day so your character selection alone gets you points from me. Forget that the head is totally reworked and looks great for a second, and realize not only did you paint all that red evenly ,on what looks to be a poseable figure, but you also painstakenly painted on all those stars. Amazing. I'm positive we'll be seeing these two customs again come the JCAs.

Great job on that Roadblock, I think it captures the size and demeanor of the character perfectly.

Two things:

1.) Please let someone cast that head to sell because it's a work of art.

2). Did you paint the skin tone (if so what color) or did you RIT dye, because it looks awesome as well?

Yes, I painted the skin tone using Testors Model Masters Acrylics LEATHER. I use it exclusively for painting African-American skin tone.

Those are crazy. pluv's right. The stars painted on Slice are exactly what makes you a great customizer, attention to detail and a true love for hobby. The Roadblock top half is jusr perfect. The pants and a little smooth for me but still work very well. It really is the best Roadblock ever and Immortalzodd won the JCA Joe figure of the Year with a Roadblock two years ago. Amazing work.
