presented without comment because I have to run,

















I'll edit in some comments when I get more time -

thoughts so far?

I also really like the.. feudal Japan-ey Iron Grenadiers.

Strucker is inventive. I like it.

JM70 is my hero. "LASER BLAST" it now my desire to make my own Hellstrom custom is even more burning now (it's like soulfire).

What the hell is that gauntlet thing made out of on Von S? It's freakin awesome.

I also like that you found a credible use for that dud of a Destro Body. I have a few lying around that I'd previously considered unusable.

These are all pretty full of win. Innovative takes on Strucker and the IG Samurai, and a truly classic straight up nailing of Hellstrom.

Thanks guys -

Some notes:

1. I decided I wanted to make this figure after seeing gijoey use this trident with his Black Manta custom. He sent the trident to Rodimus for casting, which is where I got this one.

2. the VonStrucker head and hell gauntlet are from The Angel Forge

3. I thought I had posted the Iron Samurai here before, but maybe that was only on FB. These were started at the same time I started the Destro, Leader for bucky's challenge during the last celebration. Raps, the original intent was to challenge myself to specifically use those torsos in a legit way (after making Bishop.) I added the copperhead legs to the same challenge, as I had a pile of them, and they are so recognizable. I also had a pair of those samurai heads, which I believe came in a lot from Slayer back in the day (probably gifted by pluv) -- I wrapped that all up with some Storm Shadow arms and Serpentor cape, to varying degrees of success.

Here's a few more shots of those Iron Samurai:






Thanks for the comments!

Von Strucker is duly noted here, as he's on my long term to-do list. Sorry for being uninformed, but what is BLC WIP?

Nice work on all of these! I assume BLC = Blue Lasers Commander?

Thanks guys, and yep, ThomasArmada# (when did that happen?) nailed it -- it's the 'un-armored' version of Blue Laser Commander

The Baron is fantastic. Destro head?

Thanks!

That isn't a Destro head (at least as far as I know) -- I picked that head and the hell glove up from the same custom caster, but for the life of me can't remember who, and I checked all the usual suspects and can't find it anywhere -- sorry! maybe it will come to me later ...
