I would buy a copy of that Spike head in a heartbeat. Thats a grail-type figure for me. Very nice work!

 

[menoseloso]

Looking good buddy. It seems like its been awhile since I've seen you on here.

 

[alexi.volk]

yeah been pretty busy. havent been around for months really.

Great take on Spike! The retail figure was only 'ok' and not very close to what the Cowboy Bebob deserves of a figure
Did you use the vanilla clothing or did you make those yourself?

 

[alexi.volk]

thanks mando and blaze. so far i've mixed and matched from the various medi releases. not sure how i will go about it in the long run. and the trench was from triad toys. not sure what i'll do for the boots yet. have a lot of work left...

No problem, it looks excellent. Is it a one off? Cuz now im itching to make one lol

Man that looks amazing already, I loved the series and movie.

I loved the series and movie too. Great head sculpt and great direction with the clothing. It looked so bad on the Medi body.

thanks guys. am considering doing a small run; thinking if i do that, then i might make like 4-5 different one-offs, each tailored to match a specific episode or part of the movie, ie bandaged or cleaning company or costume ball, etc. but i dont know yet. would have to see what the interest would be.

 

[Blaze91]

sounds good! I'll keep an eye on this.

Well count me in! Any plans to do anyone else? Vicious would be saweeeeet.

 

[alexi.volk]

have thought about vicious... really into the idea of vincent ATM tho. faye and jet. have some ideas for the faye and vicious tho. but i dont want to get ahead of myself. still a lot to do on the spike proto as it is.
if i were to do a run, it'd be really small. and each one would be different. i'm thinking(one of each of the following): 'real folk blues' final showdown with trenchcoat and shotgun; 'blue crow' with pink down jacket and blue scarf; 'cleaning crew' with pale blue jumpsuit, white T, hat and broom; 'young triad' in the bomber jacket look from the flashbacks; 'pierrot le fou' with battle damage(not sure why but i dig spike with the bandaged look; 'bloody eye' from ep1 with the poncho and sombrero....
anyway i have a couple more on the list but i think you can get an idea. not sure how popular this idea will be but i figure with most of the options people will still get the classic blue suit. but with a couple of them, the look is absent and i dont know how that might go over....
