Very cool. Not familiar with the character though. Does the Blue spandex represent his skin (like a Tarzan bodysuit) or is the outfit two toned?
Nice work on the Bow and arrows.

Another great job....love the detail! Can't wait to see the rest of this group from you (you are gonna make them, aren't you?)!
For those unfamiliar with Yondu, he's one of the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy (the others are Vance Astro, Nikki, Charlie-27, Martinex, Starhawk) and they're from a future timeline in the Marvel Universe. They had their own book in the 90s but have also had decent appearances in the Avengers (during the Korvac Saga) and Marvel Super-Heroes.

Yes. I went with the suit, because I thought he looked better, than without it. It also hides the joints in the figure, & I think it adds to the figure being a bit cleaner. It just works better for some characters imo.
Anthony} .. Who knows,.. although StarHawk does look pretty cool don't he... Thanks for the Charater Bio for everyone. . :wink_y:
Thanks Guys,.. He took me a very long time. - J

Awesome! I love when you guys do the B level character customs! The Guardians were some of my favorite B heroes. Yondu is one of the characters that is visually stunning. Excellent job! Looks professionally done!

Very cool! They did a custom Yondu in Toyfare for Twisted Toyfare Theatre recently, but yours is 1000 times better! Way to go! I like it!

Thanks, I couldn't quite tell from the artwork. I have to say you did an amazing job of matching the skin tone to the fabric. :)
I have no idea who that character is, but the work is stellar! Fabulous job there! *applause*
