More Sky Diving Parachutists

[RSS]

Ever since I mocked up a set of parachuting AHI Super Monsters last year, I've been kind of smitten and inspired to make more. I had a major spurt of creativity this summer and here is the result.

Above is a Brick Mantooth Parachutist, this was inevitable and I'll likely do a bunch of different variations for him. I wish they made plaid spray paint.






We got AHI Parachutist figures for Space:1999, so why not Gerry Anderson's other 70s opus, UFO? I've got Ed Straker half done right now.



Finally I made this for my pal and podcast partner Jason Lenzi for his birthday (delivering a full two months late) it's the first of many TV detectives I plan to make. Seriously, I'm going to make a Quincy.

More soon!

Awesome! Jim Rockford is classic. Great card art as well.

I can't wait to see your "Cannon" parachutist. You're going to need a bigger card...and parachute!

Awesome stuff. I can see these hanging on the pegs of the Ben Franklin in my mind.

Great stuff,but I want no part of Cannon falling from the sky.

[Godzilla]

Lots of fun!

A king Kong would be a good choice since AHI owned his rights before and a 20ft Ape parachuting from the sky is quite the sight for sore eyes.

Co-lum-bo! Co-lum-bo!

It's right there in front me. Gee I'm thick sometimes...

I double-dog dare you to do Cannon from a Penguin.

[thunderbolt]

Cannon would need two parachutes.

Rockford Files and Cannon....I think the next logical parachutists would be Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman and Benny Hill. Then we'd have covered all the old shows I watched at night when I was supposed to be sleeping, lol.

Oh that UFO one is awesome, though!

Indeed it is. I am a UFO junkie now, curse you Brian.
