I really love this! Not a fan of the 80's Joe's but man, these 8inch versions are sweet. Congrats!

Fantastic! What head did you use for this?

[Boba-rett]

Thanks. I'm actually delighted at your question- I was worried it would be obvious. That head is from the Batman Classic Series Mad Hatter.

He turned out very nice... I really like the buffalo head belt buckle... Candidate for COTW...

[hedrap]

Alright. That is way better than I'd ever expect a Wild Bill could turn out. Great job.

[Grimjohn]

Well done.

I love your Joe customs. Another beautiful job!

Thanks. I'm actually delighted at your question- I was worried it would be obvious. That head is from the Batman Classic Series Mad Hatter.

Ah yes, nicely done. I would not have made the connection if you didn't tell me... the sunglasses and the hat give him a totally different look.

Btw, have you ever seen the Paco Magnificent Team figures? Your figures are better executed... but the Pacos are also "RAH inspired" and are fun little knockoff figures.

Looks great!
My fave part is the belt buckle too!
Where did you get that?

[Boba-rett]

I made the belt buckle with a pack of miniature animal toys. I bought these on Amazon and they're called "Good Luck Mini's". I was looking for a longhorn bull or a horse so I bought a pack and looked at each animal to see which would look the best: It turned out to be the buffalo. I removed the head with an X-acto Knife, mounted on a pin, coated the entire head via Molotow Liquid Chrome paint pen. I then painted the belt buckle and glued the buffalo head to the buckle. Thanks for the interest, man!

Great Ceaser's Ghost!! This is one finely executed custom action figure!!

A stellar example of what can happen in the MEGO customizing community when supreme talent meets determined drive and an uncompromising eye toward excellence!

Congratulations Boba-Rett on an absolutely beautiful creation.

I am speechless, that's one Amazing custom masterpiece, and an excellent blister card as well.
