I can sight two examples of Sideshow Figures that come with vehicles.

1:4 Scale Speeder Bike and Scout Trooper figure

S.T.A.P. and Battle Droid Sixth Scale Figure Set
http://www.sideshowtoy.com/?page_id=4489&sku=100045&ref=learnmore_100045

There are other sixth scale vehicles/mounts, but those don't come with a figure. I'm not gonna argue about what rules you want to make. It's your contest. However, saying that they "never" come with vehicles, just is not true.

Anyhow... The entries so far look great.

@ Hemble. See, that's what I meant about being intimidated. Your dioramas set a very high standard. It's tough to compete with. That's why I was hoping to pull out the all the stops on the accessories aspect of the contest. Regardless, your entry is Beautiful.

Sorry my friend, I guess I was wrong, please forgive me. We just simply are not looking for a vehicle submission to be a pert of this event.

No sweat. I'm going to need to rethink my entry a bit.

Guys,

Thanks heaps I really appreciate the comments and I can't to see what everyone else has done.

Mate I'm very flattered that you think my work is that good but honestly there is no need to be intiminated and as I mentioned in the PM I shy away from GI-Joe figures so I have to hand it to you and the other guys that do them.

Ron

My Ultimate Action Figure is Arc Trooper Commander. Here is my Ultimate version of the character:
I use a GIJoe body for the articulation as well as the proportion. Arc trooper commender accessories, handmade Kama, lots of other goodies too and a handmade dio base.



Here is his alternate Phase 2 helmet



These were quick pics with the phone but I hope to get proper ones this weekend for the voting thread.

Wow Chad, I love the skeletal look he has and his face reminds me of Spirit.
