I went into a frenzy this evening. Here are several WIPs.

Last Dragon Bruce Leroy Green. I need to swap the boots with a ninja when I come across a spare one. I was originally going to use Lando, but all I could see was Billy Dee. I think the hair works but the face is off a little.

Fist of the Northstar Kenshiro. I think this one is a homerun. All I have left to finish him are the chest scars and the left forearm wrap.

Cowboy Bebop Spike. This is at the very early stages of what I have planned. Just put the parts on a body so I could see where I was going. The head is mostly done minus some paint and sculpey touch ups. The suit coat I just put 1 coat on to get it going. The torso I will swap out with 3/4 sleeve Duke and sculpey a tie. Then I just need to get another ship wreck for the legs.

No shoulderpad for Ken? lol I'd agree, I think you've got him pretty much spot on. Now you need some Road Warrior style bikers for him to beat up.

I don't know how hard they are to get ahold of, but Kaiyodo actually made a series of preposed, roughly 1/18 scaled Hokuto No Ken figures. If you could get ahold of them, they'd probably be a great source of parts for other HNK customs.

Kenshiro needs his pads and vest then he'll be ready to beat up those dreadknocks.
Nice job.

I got two big crits on Ken and Dragon. NO FISTS!!!!

Sorry, mate. Open hands = fail on characters like that. At least one cupped hand or fist on these two are compulsary. ;-)

Aside from that they look cool heh. ;-)

Or a single finger to do the 'death touch'.

But that was a jest.

They are really good customs. Good use of the base bodies, you should be proud to have them in your collection.

They're ok, but like said, they need a fist or two. Best would be a fist with power flowing around it, or fire or energy like Darko's flame/electricity effects. But I can imagine that's quite a job and I don't know if you're capable of creating that.

Yeah I am a huge fan of the movie so I thought this might get close, but after posting I broke the Leroy back down into spare parts.
