Hello again. :twisted:

It's been a while so here are two of my latest work. Latest meaning these guys have been done for a long while and I just got around to taking pics of them only a few days ago. My time has really been limited these days, having to work 2 jobs.

First up is everybody's favorite gourmet chef and heavy machine gunner, Roadblock.

Image

ROADBLOCK- Heavy Machine Gunner

Parts used:
Head- Sgt Savage General Blitz 94
Torso- Guile 93
Upper arms- Sagat 93
Lower arms- Balrog 93
Waist- Altitude 87
Thighs- Lowlight 85
Feet- Jurassic Park figure
Machine gun, helmet, and backpack- Double Blast 02
Ammo belt- Chap Mei

I always wanted a Roadblock that was bigger than all the rest of the joes like he's portrayed to be instead of the same height as everybody else. It took me a while to work that out but once I did, the rest fell into place rather easily. I've included a comparison photo of my custom Roadblock standing next to the original figure. With the extensive modifications, my Roadblock now stands at 4 1/8" tall. I also gave him swivel wrists.

Second and lastly is one half of the the infamous Cobra ninja duo Slice & Dice, Slice.

Image

SLICE- Cobra Ninja

Parts used:
Head- Rayden 95
Torso- M.Bison 93
Arms- Star Viper 89
Waist- Night Creeper Leader 93
Thighs- Storm Shadow 84
Feet- Liu Kang 95
Sword and knife- Slice 92

I always liked Slice from the original Marvel run and the DIC cartoons but hated his figure, mainly because of the stupid "ninja action" spring. I thought about giving his partner-in-crime Dice a custom update too but decided not to in the end although I might possibly do it anyway sometime down the line. This is now the Slice that I always wanted and fully poseable.

I have a few more new customs finished that I haven't gotten around to take pics of yet so stay close for another multiple custom update coming soon. I hope you guys dig them both...

Wow - Slice looks good, but Roadblock is by far the best RB custom I've ever seen! I don't know how in the hell you find the right parts for these, but you sure have an eye for it. Absolutely perfect!

:wow:



LIVEVIL, once again you have reached deep inside and produced another exquisite custom that it puts me to shame solely on talent alone.

I can not express how (Action Attack Kamakura) awesome Roadblock is. This IS the figure we should have gotten for a v1 Roadblock way back when.

The height, the build, the badass look, it's all there.
:bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

This figure should come with a warning to others that might want to do a Roadblock v1 custom. Perfection has been achieved. Might as well just lock the Roadblock v1 category and not accept any further customs...:D

Slice is my all-time favorite character, and this is by far the best custom of him I've ever seen.
