Post subject: | Kamakura v.2, Law and Order, Wet-suit, Whiplash |
Here are a few figures I've finished up inbetween working on my Aftermath Universe customs. First up is a rework of "the green ranger" himself, Kamakura. My original version used a Storm Shadow torso and at the time it worked. Since then, Tri-Gate Creations has put out this incredible ninja commando torso that I've used before and it works much better for Kamakura. I also tweaked the paint giving him a darker more military color scheme while sticking to the original theme. I still need to work out a pack and sword sheath for him but for now he's finished. Head, arms, sword: 25th Storm Shadow Torso: Tri-Gate Creations Legs: 25th Snake-eyes Uzi: Marauder Inc. Next is a couple of characters I've wanted to include in my collection but wasn't sure how. Slapping some parts together I finally found a good recipe for Law. I went with a more realistic color scheme rather than his red shirt and bright blue vest. Order is just a repaint that I've had sitting for months, waiting for his owner to come find him. Head, helmet: 25th Hawk v.2 Torso, arms: 25th Shipwreck Hands: 25th Beachhead Legs: 25th Cobra Trooper Uzi: Marauder Inc. Law: repainted VvV Snow Wolf dog Next is an original character that I created from some spare parts. I really wanted to use the unmasked Beachhead head but couldn't find a good fit for it. With a little paint (and some sanding of that pointy bit) I think I made a good new figure. The rest is just some spare parts I threw together. Whiplash is Lift-ticket's co-pilot and flight engineer. He rides in the second seat of the Tomahawk and also controls the cargo hold and winch when necessary. Head, legs: 25th comic pack Beachhead Torso, arms, helmet: 25th Lift-ticket Belt: 25th comic pack Firefly And finally, since everybody else is doing it I figured I'd show my Wet-suit "fix". I had this planned since the figure was first announced and honestly couldn't wait to get it in hand and work my magic. I'll be swapping out the mask for a RoC Flash helmet when I get my order from Broken Arrow Toys. I'm quite happy with how he turned out and he matches my other Wet-suit figures. Head: 25th comic pack Crimson Guard Torso, upper arms, upper legs, dive gear: 25th Wet-suit v.2 Lower arms: 25th Shipwreck Hands: 25th Deep Six v.2 Lower legs: 25th Viper Weapons: Marauder Inc. |

These are all strong customs. I like Whiplash. It's cool that he has the same uniform as Lift Ticket since the fly the same Helo. Nice job. |

It took me a minute to adjust to the multi-colored scheme for Kamakura. It works very well. |

I really like them all but the top two are my faves. Kamakura is a great take that keeps the essential elements while making him look like more of a proper soldier. And that Law and Order is top notch, maybe the best I've seen. He resembles the 2000 version, which I've always thought was a smart looking figure. |

I agree that Law and Kamakura kind of steal this show, but Whiplash is a very solid character design (with a great name). I think I'd just like to see some more going on with his torso. Maybe nit a full-on vest, but some kind of web gear, perhaps matching the belt or pants? |
