NUNCHUK vs FIREFLY
My favorite of the two packs from wave 2. both of the original figures were actually well done, even though they didn't quite mimic the illustrations, but the greater appeal of this set is that the character illustrations are fantastic and great ideas for modern updates. The Nunchuk art differs far more from the figure than Firefly -- the pant legs are different plus, the sash on his torso straps, and most importantly the face is just more rugged. Firefly, on the other hand, simply benefits from the update.


I've always been a big fan of the JvC Zartan design, including the strange armored arms, as well as a fan of the JvC Scarlett.


Stalker is a cool design, although kind of plain. But in modern form there is enough to work with to make him stand out. Neo-Viper Commander differs slightly from my Neo-Viper custom.


I know what you are thinking -- Sand Viper was part of wave 6 during Spy Troops. But I had no interest in making the Desert CLAWS, and Beach Head will be coming in wave 3 with Dr. Mindbender so that would leave Sand Viper with no one to be paired with, so it made sense to bump him up and attach him to Dusty. Nothing terribly spectacular about Dusty, but Sand Viper is probably my favorite of all of these.

You did a really great job on all of these. Don't know which one I like the best.

I think Sand Viper is my favorite, but they are all really good and very faithful to the artwork. Zartan & Scarlett's colors seem a little off and muted, but that would be my only criticism. Great job all around man!

I don't remember if you posted these on the Hisstank or not, but if I've seen them before, I sure don't mind seeing them again. You did a great job on each and every one! Of course I like the Firefly, but I really like the Sand Viper as well.

you can find them on my site still. Just scroll down to 2002:
