HOLY CRAP!!! That is just plain amazing. WIth the figure being carded and the removable hats, the card art. Those tats. EVERYTHING is perfect on him. He is going to flip when he gets this.

YOU GUYS KICK SO MUCH @SS. You guys are masters and I bow and chant "I am not worthy!" over and over and over.

Wow, as amazing as each li'l part is; this is definately a case where the total package is more than the sum of its parts. Very, very well done, everyone involved.

You guys did a fantastic job on him, one to be proud of for sure. It's great to see JC members come together like this.

Good lord. That's the most amazing work I think I've seen when you take the whole thing in. The meaning, the figure, the packaging art, accessories, etc.

I can't wait to hear how this gift is received.

I said it in the other thread, and it's still true. Absolutely flawless. I don't think Hasbro could have done a better job.

Possibly the best custom ever!

Not for the paintwork, which is flawless.

Not for the parts selection, which is spot on.

Not for the accessories, which are perfect.

But because of the story behind it. Great job to everyone involved.

Teamwork on this custom + execution = AMAZING! One of the best customs done

I love who this one turned out, The packaging and paint apps are great but the things I noticed most were the small details like the name on the uniform and the how well the Tatoos were done. Great work all around and I'm glad I was able to be part of it even though it was just a small part.

Damn. You guys are just awesome.

Technical note: how did you get the silver in the card art to come out shiny?
