First up is Zack n Zoe, from Dreadnoks Declassified.
Long before they discovered their lost brother was the leader of an outlaw biker gang in Australia. Before they even knew the name Dreadnok. Two orphans ran the back alleys of London's underground. Born in the Louisiana bayou region, Zack and Zoe moved from foster home to foster home after their parents were killed. Their older brother ran away from the orphanage that first took them three orphans. While living in London, at one of the many foster families, Zoe tried to find their older brother. These two orphans would later be known as Zandar and Zaranna.

Zack n Zoe look really good. For the Pred I would have liked to have seen you use a larger body. This one makes the head look a bit large. That said he does look sweet.

From what I have seen in the films, the Predator heads seemed larger compared to the rest of the body. I might post another pic of the predator next to a Joe to show scale, but he stands head and shoulders above a 25th Joe figure.

Zoe and Zak look all kinds of ass kicking great. The plaid skirt is how soft goid should look, the stockings are realistic, and that mohawk is WICKED! The Anarchy shirt is convincing. I don't remember that part of Dreadnoks Declassified at all, I need to go reread that.

The details on Zack & Zoe were impressive before I read how you pulled them off. Wow!

Pred looks good. I guess I need to look at that Spidey body again. Didn't realize it was so muscular.

Love Zack and Zoe. Just some killer mods that look awesome. Even the semi-uneveness of the logos works for these particular characters.
