Wow! You have presented us with some impressive customs before, but this one is my absolute favourite so far. The head sculpt and paint job is awesome! Keep up the good work! |

While I have never been a fan of this version of Shippy, I have to say this custom looks amazing! Great work. |

*blink* /rubs eyes *blink* /faints If you ever, EVER want to part with that custom you be SURE to contact me. I *must* have it to go with all the other Shipwreck customs I've collected. Finding these just as they get unleashed on the public is my main perk for running this place.

This isn't my favorite look for Shipwreck, but you do a smash up job and I would not hesitate to collect that one! I love your paint job. |

Stunning. I really hope Hasbro puts something out like that. Comic Pack? Hasbro? Are you listening? |

I've been tempted to do this same thing but wasn't sure how it would look with Shippy's pinhead on that taller body. Now I know. Nice job, especially the painting. That's what makes this work. The Beachhead/Firefly mold is generic enough that it can work like in many different ways and this version of Shipwreck was just screaming to be made. Well done. |

That Shippy is completely awesome Rateeg. The bh/ff body works great for that rendition of ol' shippy. And your paints, as always, brings out all of the detail of the sculpts. i don't know what else to say.... |

What exactly did you do to the face? I can see a diff but can't put my finger on what it is. I need to know 'cause, yeah; I'm gonna need to swipe this. I knew I was scarfing extra BH/FFs for some reason. |

love your work from superheroes to joes. I think the dd version of shipwreck is better than the arah look of the sailor and your paint job with the black and blue on the sweater is great.I just don't think the BH lower legs are good for SW since it looks too buff looking for old shippy, otherwise a perfect custom.

I knew I was scarfing extra BH/FFs for some reason. i resculpted the jaw and beard. the original shippy head looks small when placed on the BH body. and i gave him a new neck peg, resculpted an new one actually. here are the work in progress photos of him:

Ho. Lee. Crap. This is Shipwreck-flavored perfection with a Polly on top. I want to steal this recipe. You're making me regret telling my buddy in Florida that he has dibs on the next Beach-head and Firefly figures I find. |
