This is really beautiful work. The figures themselves are all great: the paint work is what jumps out at me right away (your use of washes and detailing is among the best I've ever seen), but the added bits and detail that you put into them is what really makes them shine. The mechs and other vehicles really seal the deal, though: the two Pogo-based mechs are just ridiculously cool. I also like the shark-guy and the ArcLite Interceptor quite a bit. You've really succeeded in creating an entire world of customs, and taken together, they feel like parts of a cohesive whole. Very, very impressive stuff; I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do next.

P.S.: How long have you been working on these? It takes me a month just to make one figure; you just dropped about twenty on us, and none of them look half-assed.

What I really like is looking back at your original customs and seeing how far you've come.
Really fun seeing these again.

Whoa... So many figures and vehicles in one thread, it's hard to find the right words... There are a lot of VERY COOL figures in this line up, and the lengths you have gone to to bring out the details in the sculpts is... well, its inspired!

I will comment on a few specific characters that struck me as being the "cream of the crop", starting with the first figure posted, the one you made for Wry1; this guy rocks! Yeah, he has a look/feel of the Army of Two, but he is unique enough that he is his own figure... Great job making the figure look like the concept drawing!

Second, your Killian figure caught my attention, with his uncanny likeness to Richard Marcinko! The dude was a Navy SEAL, and has had 12" figures made in his image. Anyway, this figure is a winner, and nice job on adding the beard to the Duke sculpt!

Next, that Manhunter is fan-freakin'-tastic! It gives a "Terminator" -like side to the whole New Earth you've created... Scary killing machines with guns!

The skull face mask on the figure you made for Stoner Guy is amazing! I have painted skull masks on 1/18th scale figures, and it isn't easy... You have done a great job on this one!

The New Earth Demon Hunter is as intimidating as they come... The question is, does he hunt demons, or is he a demon that hunts? Great figure either way!

Now I've seen your Mech before, but the use of a Pogo with Iron Monger's lower torso/pelvis, as well as his arms and legs was pure genius! This is one of my favorite pieces from your collection of customs. Another thing: great paints, too!

Last, but not least, I really dig the ArcLite Drop Ship... Nice use of the Sigma Six Dragonhawk! It fits in well in the world you've created!

-Todd

Dude I don't know where to start. The mech's the cyborgs, all of them are just incredible if I didn't know better I would reall think that these are some McFarland-esk type of action figures.

Either your are incredibly imaginative or very warpped in your perception of these games. Doesn't really matter the talent is off the charts and I can say there is one in the bunch that I would have any critiques for......of I'm still recovering from the sensory over load.

Amazing I am really digging the Mech's alot. awesome job can't wait to see more.

Man, these are gorgeous. I feel almost dismissive in not going into detail on all of them, but I'm sort of awed and overwhelmed. :) If these were out in stores I'd be out a ton of money. The pogo-headed mech is probably my favorite, just based on the idea alone. Looking forward to more.
