Wow, this is incredible. I had a few attempts at doing him in 6 inch but never was happy with the chest piece and never got the head right. I tried sculpting a head outright which didn't look good, and on the second attempt molded a Darth Maul head but that looked like Kevin Periera instead of Galen Marek. The head sculpt here is amazing

I was actually playing that game for some reference...It indeed is a classic in my opinion. Thanks for the compliment!

Those are sweet! The Open Season Comics are great, and Montross is one of my favorite Mandos. Great work!

Thanks guys! Montross was obviously more involved in parts mixing...An interesting thing about these 6 inch figures is that it seems like Hasbro intentionally made these more difficult than they have to be in that the ball joint plugs for the legs are all different sizes...That won't stop us customizers though!!

Outstanding as always, but the 6" scale REALLY lets you get your soft goods on.

That's some really nice work on your customs Stronox, like the weathering, worn out and torn soft goods to showing (battle damage) Well done

You mean creating prototypes and then getting into general production?
