Title: Sigma 6 Styled CanJoeCon Figures
Post by: BHMike on April 25, 2009, 06:36:03 PM
I plan on updating this thread each time I post one of my Sigma customs.

My plan, is to make all 8 figures from the current and past conventions.

Joe Canuck
[s:3nkm7dip]Black Ice[/s:3nkm7dip]
[s:3nkm7dip]Shiver[/s:3nkm7dip]
Snowbank
Timbit
Chacal Noir
[s:3nkm7dip]Back-Stop[/s:3nkm7dip]
Cobra Frostback Trooper

I've done Joe Canuck and Black Ice already - but I'm updating them, so technically they'll be v2 when I'm done.

First up: SHIVER.

I hate Shiver. I hate the figure, the look, all of it. He doesn't look "mean" enough to me.
He was supposed to be Snowbank to be honest - but things changed.

This Shiver I like. He looks mean to me, and that's good.

Original one seen here: http://www.canadianjoecon.com/2007.html (http://www.canadianjoecon.com/2007.html)


Second: BACK-STOP

I don't care for the helmet. So I need to find another one that will work better. I think a Centurions helmet would look good - but I need to find one of those first as well. ;-)
So, for now, this is how my Back-Stop will be...

Third: BLACK ICE (Version 2)
I prefer the look of this head over the other one... which was just a Snake Eyes head with that mask on it. Some highlights to separate from the "all Black" he usually gets, and a better gun this time around. I gave his old gun to Back-Stop.

NEXT ONE : COBRA FROSTBACK TROOPER!

I like Backstop but why didn't you make the pants match our Backstop figure?

Who's helmet is that anyhow?

Truth. I don't like the brown.  :shifty:

I like the blue.


Besides, the sheer fact I even made a Back-Stop should be enough! lol.

That's a really original take on Back-Stop. It reminds me of a Back-Stop head swapped onto a Static Line body, then blown up to 8".

All three are knock-outs as far as I'm concerned. I'm torn about which of your Black Ice customs I prefer.

I'm a fan of Shiver and Black Ice, looking forward to seeing what your Frostback and Snowback will look like.  LMK if you can use any of the Sigma 6 figures I have.

I saw them at the con and they looked really good.  Its sort of like the project Im doing, where we are remaking them in other lines, yours in sigma and mine in 25th.  Are you going to do a HATE sigma tank next? :)

The thought, has crossed my mind. But I would have no where to put the thing!

Gee... it's been awhile huh?
 :shifty:

Anyway, two more that I've finally found the time to complete:

Frostback Trooper

Next up.


Timbit

(http://http://www.joecanuck.com/customs/tim4.JPG)

Timbit isn't actually "done" yet. That Axe looks worn, which is what I wanted... but it just looks sloppy to me... plus, he doesn't have his big box of Timbits yet. ;)


Black Ice (Version 3 - Final) will be the next one. The entire body is DONE. I'm just waiting for the helmet to dry... it's a little "sticky"... :/

WOW!, Great work Mike!  I really need to dig in to the forums back threads as I'm missing out on some good customs!  

Quick side note, did you want Timbit to have the "Fabio" haircut or did not have time to remold the hair?

The Sigma 6 characters are so far removed from their original counterparts that hair wasn't much of an issue to me. I vaguely remember mentioning to Scramble that I was going to make a Timbit, and him saying something along the lines of "I can't think of how you'll do that" or "I can't see how you pull that off" or something... so my main concern for Timbit was to ensure that he looked like he would fit into the Sigma line - so Fabio hair or not, didn't matter. ;)

Mike, am absolutely loving these figures! Am currently in the process of trying to recreate them in original sculpt, and you've helped reignite the custom bug in me. Darn you, darn you! :D

Most likely not. I'm selling all my Sigma Six items, so those will be one of the first ones to go.

Are you new? Those are the 2010 Con items. Just no write ups are done yet. ;)

Cool stuff. I like the Frostback trooper best.
The style of Sigma 6 is so unique - it's like a different toyline altogether. Like if Transformers made a Joe toy or something.

I think Timbit is "Bellissimo" (something Fabio would've said  :lol:)

My favorite is Shiver, which IMO is a better update of the original Shiver convention figure.
