Thanks! Sculpting was something I've worked really hard in this year. I have moments where I'm pleased but I feel I still have a long ways to go.

Lots more 80s stuff coming.

Venger from Dungeons and Dragons

I may eventually get around to the kids but for now he is the only character I've made from the D&D cartoon

Beetlejuice

I was a big fan of both the movie and the cartoon so I combined the two looks for the custom.

Good thing you didn't type it a third time...

Lol.....well dang. Yeah he is a much simpler build. I sculpted that hair 3 different times. Can't say I'm still overly pleased with it though.

G.I. Joe was my absolute favorite toy line and cartoon as a kid, but a close second and it could have even been a 1A and 1B scenario was Thundercats.

I had intended to only make the main 4 Thundercats, but I kept making them and well.....like many other lines for this project they just continued.

Thundercats

Lion-O

Panthro

Tygra

Cheetara

Wiley Kit

Wiley Kat

Jaga

Bengali

Lynxo

Pumyra

Hachiman

Mandora

She never had a vintage figure

Way beyond my depth on these guys! I did watch the cartoon and had a couple figures. Just crazy good sub set in your crazy big showing!

Man, those Thundercats are incredible. I loved the cartoon as a kid but always thought the toys were hideous. Your renditions are make them look great. Only critique is your Jaga -- he's missing the nipples the original toy had. :rotfl:

I think those originals suffered from the "lets make them like MOTU". Panthro is short and squaty like He-Man yet he never looked like that in the catoon. I wanted to stay as close to the cartoon look as possible. Those nipples made the toy! LOL.
