Here is Ralph Hinkley The Greatest American Hero!

Still need to do a few touch-ups.

Ha! This is one I never thought I'd see. You did a great job capturing the look of the character.

Cool Idea, and when I read the title I knew that was the head you had used, but it just looks too mean, needs to have a more goofy looking face I think. But great job over all.

Great job. Personally, I think Ralph needs a "happier face", but what you've done there is made a toy that I would happily add to my collection, nice work!

Ok, exactly how many of those heads do you own. :D Seriously, I was sitting here looking at the title fo the thread and thought to myself, "I hope he uses that Star Wars head." Sure enough you did and he's a winner. The only thing I might do differently is shorten the tunic so it looks a little less like a skirt and more like a continuation of the top from under the belt.

Thanks all! I was actually considering taking the Serpentor Skirt up one line. The only other alt head I might make for this figure is the 7-pack Chuckles head and add some more fro to it! I am currently working on Bill Maxwell to go along with it.

Will, I already told you I dig this, and I actually had this fella on the deeper end of my list for awhile now. Agree with pluv, your never-ending supply of the Draco heads is astounding. Either you've been casting them, or holding up delivery trucks. lol.

I think it was a solid choice for a head, but I get what people are saying about the face being too serious. Of course, there's always a chance that this is the more confident version who actually had the manual for the suit, and has reason to look more threatening. ;-)

If I had ever got around to making one, there's one Luke Skywalker sculpt out there that matched the face fairly well (was the actor's name William Kaat?), though it obviously wouldn't have had the blond fro. lol

On the bottom of the shirt, I'd recommend trying vinyl, as it's easy to manipulate, and results in a much more streamlined look. But I like what you've done, as is. And the logo is very impressive.

F#$%ing awesome. Consider him stolen. And whatever you come up with for Bill Maxwell, his ass is stolen, too.

Loved that show :D

Great work here Will. A couple suggestions though. I would sand down the body to remove the details left behind from the Torpedo/Cobra diver body. Then I would remove the skirt and replace with one from the Indiana Jones Russian soldier's lower shirt. lastly as was suggested by I believe Chief I would find a more happy face for poor Ralph. He looks really pissed. Just a few little tidbits for touching up. Also I'm incredibly jealous of this and will most likely have to get out of my funk and customize my own. :rant: :-D
