I am generally not a fan of making 12" figures that are clones of there 3 3/4 counterparts. I like to put my own spin on them. With all the 25th ann stuff though I figured I would try and make a few. This is a power team figure with a SOTW uniform. The figure was pretty easy, I sculpted the beard and painted it, made the tattto with testors decal paper, weathered the belt, and the gloves and bendy hands are home made.

I think the real question is "did you make one for yourself?"
Because, once beav sees this, he will be at your house stealing it.

That's Shipwreck and that's all I gotta say... :)

No really...I don't collect 12 inchers but I'd snap this one up...just because it's a great take on my favorite character! *grin* and tho I'm one for modesty, yeah, open up the shirt a bit. ;) lol

Add a parrot and he'd be perfect, actually he's kinda perfect without it.

My eyes played a trick on me, I thought this said the "sluttiest dog in the sea" Oh well, either way it pertains to Beav.

good looking stiff! needs a feathered friend.

First I take a pair of bare hands and cut the fingers off. Then I drill holes into the hand where the fingers were. Next I super glue pieces of wire in the holes that are the length of the fingers. The gloves are made on a sewing machine. I lay a paper pattern on top of 2 pieces of cloth and sew the outline of the gloves, then remove the pattern, trim the gloves out and turn them inside out. It's kind of tricky. I will try on take some pictures of the next set I make.

Name your price. I'm sharpening my knife right now in case the price includes a left-side private body part.
