Well, here we are. The set is finished. For now. I say 'for now because Mary has given me a few ideas for at least another 9 possible OCS figures., and yes, she was right about two of this wave.
Wave 4:
Captain Brown:
Captain Purple:
Doctor Fawn (Labcoat Variant):
Major Stone, Koala Base:
World President:
Director General, United Asian Republic:
The World President figure was supposed to go up with The Angels in Wave 2 as the mail-in offer, but I missed it, so it either goes in as a single carded variant, or the mail-in.
Captain Brown was a must from the get-go, especially as I was doing a World President figure. Captain Purple came into the equation very late. I was looking at a couple of collector sites, and skimmimg through various figures. One trend that has come in in recent years, especially in the GI Joe and Star Wars lines are the 'Expanded Universe' figures. Usually from the books or the comics. Where are the other Shades, I hear you ask? Well, it is my custom set and I live in Area Purple, so that is the one I made.
I may get around to making the others, but it will be next year at teh earliest now.I did the Director General of the United Asian Republic because it is such a distinctive uniform within the series. Nearly wore out that poor DVD pausing and rewinding while I was getting the details and sculpting.
Major Stone was done as something of an afterthought, as was Doctor Fawn in the labcoat. I was watching 'Traitor' and realised that I could make Major Stone with minimal effort. The same with Doctor Fawn. I was ordering some coats from Urban Rev Toys anyway, so I threw a standard labcoat into the mix. The other coats can be seen in all their glory below.
), I am going to move on to Fireball XL5, Stingray and Thunderbirds, plus some other Gerry Anderson characters. I am doing the puppet figures in the later more realistic style to fit in with teh Scarlet set, rather than the 'large head' cartoony versions.
