Post subject:  Fidget & Vinchezio
Who? and what?

Fidget, and her pet iguana, Vinchezio, were part of Action Man's Team Xtreme on the early 2000's cgi show. Team Xtreme were the third string, but surprisingly fun, support team members for Action Man, who was an extreme sports/special agent in that continuity.

I've already made most of the Council of Doom, plus Red Wolf & Flynt from another Action Man cartoon (a different continuity), so now I'm drifting into Team Extreme.

Over all they look great. If I had any complaints it would be that her neck is a lil too long.

I remember her. Her voice was horrid but I liked how she supported Action Man throughout the show. Great custom you have here! The iguana is cool too! Sculpting work and paint job are real good.

Thanks.

And... yes, it is. Didn't even notice it. It's a DCIH head on a DCIH body, so I just assumed the sizing/placement would be okay.

I'll have to keep an eye out the next time I use of the DCIH heads, which all have a similar design. Some of them are so bad they can't be used for much.

The DCIH bodies have their limitations, but I've found with new hands and feet added (and usually a new head), they can be salvaged.

The iguana wasn't my biggest animal build (that would be Ravage made from Playmobil, Star Wars, and kibble), but it had to end up looking a certain way to be correct. I left the paws/feet oversized, wish I'd shortened the front ones just a bit.

I wish more people would post WIP's. I enjoy seeing the pre-paint work.

I was wondering where the iguana was from, blown away you made it from that party lizard!

It's a Playmobil flying lizard from Spain. Unlike the Playmobil animals I've seen before, it was a strange rubbery plastic. I kinda felt bad chopping it up, but that's how it goes.

Thanks.

Two more to go, plus the robot dog, Alloy. I'll probably add him into the mix, too.
