Hiya Turner!

Very nice job on Flash Gordon. The Luke head bothers me a bit, was it your first choice of head?

Have you contemplated this Star Wars figure's head:

I have this figure and I can tell you that he really has a  good 80's haircut, a mean enough looking expression. He would adhere better to the Football profile IMO.

Again, great job.

Almost 7 hours in a line together and I didn't know you did customs!
Great work!

WOW, that looks great!

Amazing job!  I think I prefer your custom over the official figure.  You need a Captain Grid-Iron football grenade to make the accessory.

Thanks, fellas!  I always prefered 3 3/4" to other sizes.  But M.A.S.K. was pretty cool, too.
