Terminator and Jon Connor are great.

Part of me wishes you'd done the sleeveless hoodie and jeans look for Rambo, but this look is so iconic. But really, seriously, he needs the jade necklace. That was a big part in the movie, and another splash of meaningful color on the toy.

Terminator is perfect. I made one way back that I was pretty happy with. But the parts here are so, so much better.

I rarely have anything to critique of yours, but the one thing I think would put Rambo over the top is the hyper detailed sculpt from Angry Nomad Customs. It's got the right look for matching the version you're going for.

however ^ I forgot your goal was to update the toy... in which case you nailed it.

Agreed about the necklace. Completely forgot about it. I looked at the hoodie version as well. It's something I may think about for part 2... ;-)

Fantastic Sectaurs! And love that Dino Riders! I have the same Dino figure and planning ti custom Dino Riders, you guys beat me to it. LOL Amazing work!

I never had Dino Riders, but I think they are my favorite from this project. And that Sectaur took me back when I first saw it. This stuff is OB at his best.

You guys keep churning out great stuff!

The Terminator set is excellent, I wonder if the River Phoenix Indy head might have worked a little better for John, but that's a solid take as is!

I got so scared when I saw the subject for today's reveals. Thankfully my submission for the contest is still safe! Love the Sectaurs set especially.

Some awesome stuff again in the last couple of days, Lego and Dino Riders being two of my favorites. Incredible work!

It does kind of steps on the toes of what future NJC themes could be...

Oh well, just a little less of a surprise now!

I prefer to see it as serving as inspiration for future themes... ;-)

Day 10 is up with a couple of staples of the late 80s.

Enjoy!

Love the foot ninja soldiers....and pretty much everything else I've seen in this thread.

More figures that hit the ball out of the park. These are amazing.

That Highway and his sled are fantastic. I would have cheaped out and went for Stretcher's sled or something from the MIB3 line, so seeing J_man's 3D print was a nice surprise.
