My first Omega Flight custom -> US Agent

[Obsidian3d]

This is a repaint of the Superhero Showdown Captain America. I did a little sculpting on the chest to smooth over the chainmail and give him the star on the right side. I think he turned out really well. I need to add some glue to his right hip and shoulder joints though, they're still a little loose even with three coats of paint in them!

I'm not sure if I'll do all of the team until I have read at least the first issue or two, but you never know... :twisted:

As I said, mega talented. Enjoying the stories too!! Reminds me of the Wonder Woman opening credits with the speech and comment boxes.

[Oeming]

Thats lots of fun, man!

[Obsidian3d]

Wow I can't remember the last time I saw the old Wonder Woman series! I didn't even realize it had credits like that. I might have to go pick up one of the box sets, but that'll have to wait until after I finish up my DCU Animated stuff first.

Thanks for the comments guys. I have a lot of fun putting them together. It'd a bit of an added incentive to get a figure done knowing that I can put together a little story with it afterward and maybe entertain some of you folks too.

More stuff to follow next week I hope.

[SephirothsKiller]

Your stuff is really good, looks commercial. Would you mind putting in one non-comic full body frontal shot for your customs though? I'd like to see that. Keep up the sweet comics too.

[Obsidian3d]

Ask and ye shall receive. It's not exactly a front on shot, but it'll give you a good idea of what he looks like up close. The sculpt on this figure's head (from the factory) isn't really that great...but I could never pin down exactly what was wrong with it.

Anyway, here ya go.

Very nice. Love the little story too.

Too long, perhaps?

Great work.

There was a HISS with a missile launcher?? :shock:

[Obsidian3d]

Yeah, if I remember correctly that HISS was only available from Hasbro's site when they were doing the Direct-to-Consumer 3.75" stuff. I was able to get a bunch of stuff from another collector while I was away in Japan. Most of it's all sitting in the closet at the moment, but I may have another figure coming up soon that will be taking on the Joes. I'm still working on the cape.

[SmurfInABlender]

Yeah I've always wanted to collect toys for all the Alpha figures.. the 6 released from toybiz then find the others I guess.. I really would love if they had the original Box robot, and Mr. Jefferies in his leather jacket standign next to it... oh what a glorious time... Box and Jefferies.. now that would be nice

[Obsidian3d]

I have a set of the toybiz AF figures still carded that I might be willing to part with. The packaging isn't in great shape...but..

[SmurfInABlender]

yeah been trying to find them on ebay for a good price, I just been also tryign to not spend alot lately

[Obsidian3d]

Who said anything about eBay? ;) Drop me a PM and we'll talk.

[Muerman]

Great action figure! I also love the comic that you created with him, I love the use of photos with action figures!
