Exactly what I was thinking 2DARK! Hit n Run is a home run Bucky! Fantastic work all around.

That Hit & Run is definitely a winner.

Your western customs are always enjoyable and this one is no exception. Great work. I'd love to see a group shot of them all together.

Walt looks great! I love that show, which I binge watched on Netflix. Your Countdown update looks cool, too! So far as the third figure down, it states Duke and Hit & Run; which is he supposed to be? I was thinking Duke, since the figure incorporates that great Duke sculpt, but like Hasbro always does, you may have used it to make another character, in this case, H & R... The figure is awesome regardless of which character he is...

Night Force Lifeline posted up on first page of thread.

In looking for something to do with the excess of 50th figures I was able to get on clearance, I changed the hit and run into a Night Force version of Lifeline. The torso doesn't have much coloring besides the red and greens, as the grey looked close to a vintage night force grey.

I was able to get the head from the con in the "lets make a deal" bin from GIJCC.

By sheer luck, the custom skin tone I mixed up is almost a dead match for the skin tone of the head.

really nice version of one of my favorites as a kid. your nf lifeline from construction to his stance gives the character a new "badassness" he never had before!

Some I've just seen for the for time, like Lifeline, wicked work! And I always love your cowboy customs! All of these are truly fantastic, not going to get tired looking at the pics!

Very nice. He fits right in with the other NF team members.

Blackstar came about with the luck of having an extra Airtight body. Going through the archives to see what figure was mostly yellow that I could translate him into, I found Blackstar. I don't really know the character much, and only acquired the figure a couple years back when I was still trying to hunt down all the domestic figures. I chose the Steel Brigade helmet as I thought it looked most like the helmet from the vintage version.

TRACKER:
I started Tracker early last year and now just finished right before Assembly Required. In my quest to make 88-89 figures that haven't been made, I sometimes run into obstacles as how to translate them but still keep the spirit of the figure in place. The visor was hit and miss for awhile, until by accident I popped it on the head while custom fitting for a completely different idea. From there Tracker had a couple different leg swaps until I felt I achieved the look I was going for.

That visor is sweet
