« on: November 19, 2010, 09:05:48 AM »
Flash Gordon using mostly 25th joe parts.  It took 8 figures from 3 toy lines, Check it out!


             

 
Watch out for the Bore Worms!   
 
       






For size comparison.




Check out the swoosh!


Recipe:
Head-Luke Skywalker (I'd love to get a Flash head shrunk down...)
Torso-Breaker
Upper and Lower Arms-Tunnel Rat (removed the stripes)
Hands-Croc Master
Upper Left Leg-Red Star
Upper Right Leg-Hit and Run
Lower Legs-Wolverine
Feet-ROC Storm Shadow

Thanks for looking!

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:

http://www.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/313VXlGymJL._SL500_AA280_.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.gamese.us/star-wars-basic-figure-a-wing-pilot-tycho/2009/12/12/&usg=__wHGa4vkhsootZo6wCis7UOLvDyk=&h=280&w=280&sz=8&hl=fr&start=14&zoom=1&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=13o0PoYFPKlY6M:&tbnh=114&tbnw=114&prev=/images%3Fq%3Da-wing%2Bpilot%2Bfigure%26um%3D1%26hl%3Dfr%26sa%3DN%26tbs%3Disch:1

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.

Great work!

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.
