Is that head from the old 80's 3 3/4" Playmates figure?

Galoob did the 3 3/4" TNG figures, playmates did the 5" scale ones throughout the 90's. But yeah, it's the 3 3/4" one. The headsculpts are actually really good on those.

$5 Fortnite is the best.

Yeah Galoob, that's what I meant. I didn't think those heads would scale well with modern 1/18 scale stuff. Figured they'd be too small. Your paint helps sell it thought. Nicely done.

Miss Bianca was the Hungarian representative of the Rescue Aid Society. After the organization was disbanded, she and her fellow Rescuer Bernard decided to continue their work on their own. Eventually, they would help organize and fund the formation of the Rescue Rangers, a private detective agency with many of the same ideals and goals of the original Rescue Aid Society.

I'm not actually a giant Disney fanatic, so I find myself having to look up a lot of information on the shows when I'm working on translating these characters into humans.
i'd always wondered if there was a connection between The Rescuers movies and the Rescue Rangers, and sure enough Rescue Rangers did in fact start development as a Rescuers cartoon. I enjoyed working on the other Rescue Rangers figures so much I wanted to incorporate Miss Bianca and Bernard.

Now there is a character I never thought I'd see as a 1/18th human. Great job. I was going to say she looks a bit old compared to the source, but your story does a good job explaining that. The paint apps are super clean. Amazing work.

both of these last ones were unknown to me. i probably saw the source characters at some point, but dang! i'd say as far as human cartoon crossovers these are deep cuts! the figures are excellent just as figures.

Rose's head for Lydia, a Miss Bianca custom and Xanatos/Jonathan Frakes custom, if you think I love these things, well...
