More great looking stuff!

[hadley]

Thanks Drakkhen! I really appreciate the replies.

I like the idea of Sir Laser Lot, but he has a very buffoonish name. So I made him look like a buffoon. He’s a very foppish, self-important knight in Randor’s court.

Bandwidth here is one of those “close enough” guys. If a real Bandwidth came out, I’d just call this guy Fre-Q and he’d be his sidekick.

Red Shadow should have been released.

Dude, these customs are fantastic! Your paint work and sculpt tweaks are top notch. It's hard to pick a favorite, but Bandwidth, Horde Primearch, and Red Shadow are high up there. I noticed you have a couple with custom heads from Kevin Kosse and Castle of Power. Are those older or did you find a way to get those heads recently?

I stockpiled a lot of custom heads over the years. I have some I still haven’t even used lol!!! You can still get some Kosse heads (I think) at this site: https://store.darkdimensions.ch/inde...ath/22_26_2612

Thank you for your compliments. It means a lot to me.

I should have posted 200x He-Man along with Adam! The only real work that went into this one is painting weapons I bought from shapeways.

[hadley]

The old man here is just a collection of spare parts that I slapped together. What if Clamp Champ’s Armor was the uniform for a team that captures criminals or something? There may be several people in his squad, working to clamp the bad guys down.

Space Ace gear has good contrast with the Dragstor body style. I don’t think that costume looks good on a bare human buck.

Rotar needs robot legs for when he’s not whirling around, not human legs. That’s goofy.

[Palidor]

Man, that Space Ace Dragstor combo looks excellent! I may swap mine out. I used a spare Prince Adam buck and the colors work well enough for it.

[hadley]

Thanks Palidor!

Today we have New Adventures style guardsmen.

200x style repainted Sy-Klone. I modified his backpack deal to be able to mount his ring at a different angle. I slipped with the blade and filleted my finger. Had to get stitches... I’ll spare you the photo of that.

200x style armored Roboto. It’s just Tank Top’s gear repainted. I had Kevin Kosse’s version of the head but I ended up liking Mattel’s better.

These are so awesome! Great job!

Really nice job! I really like that Roboto!

[hadley]

Thanks Jburnett and Drakkhen!

Here’s a pair that I call the false King & Queen Grayskull. They are necromancers trying to raise the dead warriors killed in the war the true King Grayskull waged against the Horde. (The King has a new head; I haven’t properly photographed the upgrade)

And the red fella is my interpretation of the red guy on the box art for...what was it, the Roton?

[hadley]

Barbarians roll deep in the Hadleyverse. These guys are short on strong customization, but long in personality IMO.

First is Ran-Na, mysterious lady of the seas. She was found in a desert valley about to be ambushed by foes. Her only memory is of a life at sea. How did she end up in the desert? She made fast friends with Aurin the lion, who is closely allied with another character we will see later.

Next is a guy whose name I have forgotten completely. It was an Irish name like Duncan and Malcolm, as he’s meant to be an ancestor. He works the forge as evidenced by his mighty hammer.

Finally is Vikor, whose only customization here is the addition of a 200x He-Man harness. He’s the leader of a group of heroes in the Savage Age. He’s good hearted but had a traumatic youth as a slave to the Snake Men, so he’s quick to lash out and use lethal force. He wants peace with nonhumans but his past makes it hard for him to trust them.

[hadley]

Vykron slightly reimagined. Doesn’t he look like a jerk? I think he’s probably a bad guy.

Ragnar, last survivor of his tribe. His encampment was raided by wildmen and they fought to the last to defend themselves. And the last was Ragnar, not much more than a boy at the time. Since that day he has never said a word, trusting his axes to do his talking for him.

Aegis, dragonborn of the desert. Contrary to his title, he’s not actually the son of a dragon. But when a mad wyrm was slain by King Grayskull as it attacked a desert city, an infant was found in its mouth. Armor was crafted for him out of the beast’s scales. Aurin the Lion is his companion, but the cat’s instant bond with Ran-Na created a deep trust between Aegis and Vikor’s clan.

[jburnett1975]

Man you’d give the 4 Horsemen a run for their money with these customs of yours! Great work !


Jason B

[hadley]

Thanks Jason! That’s a huge compliment.

MOTUC versions of The Undertaker and Kane, who I should have posted along with my Great Black Wizard and other dark themed characters. The scarred up head on Kane is one of my favorite things I’ve painted. The rest of him is fairly half-assed I admit.

And General Tataran from the He-Man cartoons! One of the big holes in the cartoon line, even if I think he would have looked better in Classics as I did here.

[facet]

Great job on tataran. Where is the head from and did you use anything for the stomach piece to make him “fatter”.

I think the head came from either ibentmyman-thing or MOTUCHeads at darkdimensions.ch.

His fat belly is King Hiss’ overlay.

[hadley]

Exemplar, Stahl, and Mark Taylor’s Torak, Warrior of pre-history!

[Drakken]

Keep'em coming! These are awesome!

[hadley]

Taking a break from barbarians for a minute.. hope I didn’t already post any of these.

We got a plasma fella to hang out with Plasmar.

We got some Zodax.

And we got Cosmos, a simple but IMO Effective retool of Standor.

[hadley]

Alright, who do we have today.

Tri-Klops, who is quasi-meant to be a Minicomics variation, but he’s also different for the sake of different.

Green Skeletor for funsies. He was never green in the comics, but he is displayed with my minicomics/Lords of Power/Fighting Foe Men type guys.

Anti-Keldor here doesn’t really fit with the other two, but ain’t he cool? I don’t know if he’s actually anti-Keldor or just an ancestor of He-Man that happens to look like him.

[jburnett1975]

You are a master my friend! I love that Tri clops

Cool customs Hadley!

[Drakken]

Keep'em coming! You do a fantastic job with these!

[Palidor]

Great work again. I had a very similar idea for Standor. I gotta ask though, what parts did you use for Stahl? That looks great! I'll have to post my Torak custom once it's finished but it's good to see someone else make one.
