Holy bionic man batman! Here's Lt. Stone, normally a Sigma 6 character, scaled down to 3 3/4th inch in 25th Anniversary style! He was made from:

Head: Sgt Flash
Upper body: Cobra Officer
Lower Body: Xamot
Right Shoulder: Cober Commander
Right Arm/leg: New B.A.T.
Hands: Xamot
Right upper thigh: Crimson Guard
Right lower leg: Sgt Flash

Whew! That's how many figures it took to make this guy.

Enjoy!

He`s kinda puny but I LOVE what you did with the Cyborg parts! Not too familiar with the character though, didn`t care for Sigma 6 at all. ;-)

Not a fan of the head at all (always reminds me of an African-American in white face). But the rest of the figure rocks. And it's sweet seeing another 1:18th custom from you.

I love that figure, but the head throws me off, I have to agree with JFAK the Flash head looks to African-American.

Nice work... what paint do you use?

I do agree their is something about the head that throws me off, can't quite pin point it though. A lil young looking and a lil anime looking... I just think a change of head might, really make a huge difference to the overall result of the figure... Still Great job non the less. For example... if you have one, try a flint head on it, and see how it looks.

and the guy who looks like that at hasbro just saw those posts and cried :P

it looks pretty cool except for the head sculpt...but that's me agreeing that it looks weird. kind of like he's about to cry or something. may want to edit the non-cyborg parts, it kinda threw me off at first ;)

I like it even if its not totally accurate. Sigma 6 Stone didn't have a robotic leg but that's just me being nitpicky cuz this figure is so cool. Yeah the head is a little off but the rest makes up for that.

Nice figure, just not getting a Stone vibe from him, even with the cyborg parts.

Any custom of the Stoner has to have clear plastic in his arm, imo. ;-)

Oh, that's just orgasmically nice - except for the albino black guy head.

I think it's fantastic. The only thing off about the head, for me, is that the 8" Stone is smirking. On a serious day, this is what Stone looks like.

Any particular reason you chose to give him a robotic leg?

So wow, Sgt Flash's head is just a bad sculpt all around? Rats, it was the only one I had that wasn't a masked/robot face! There's already Duke/Hawk/Grunt heads out there so I thought I'd try a different one. Breaker looked too stoned for my tastes, heh. Ok, so no flash head next time. And hmmmm, clear green arms=Microman! I added the robotic leg just to make him different too. Thanks for all the great critiques! And whose head would you choose for a good stone head, if you had a pick?

I used an 25th Ace head on my 25th version and 25th Flint on my Microman version. I think the Flint would look good here.

Id probably choose flints head but the 25th aniversay one is hard to come by at a cheap price (unless u use the tiger foce version), or you could even use spytroops version of flint, and mod the head to act as a ball point, i found green stuff to be great for this...put a bit of use a spare torso / neck ball joint... drill a cavity inside the head, put soem green stuff in there, cover the ball point with vasaline... push the head down on the ball joint, work some green stuff under aroudn the bottom of the ball joint... once dry, remove, and pull it off.. then just file down the excess green stuff and paint.

Thre green stuff has a more bendable nature to it, and doesnt adhear as well as the apoxie does. Cause I tried to do this using apoxie and it wipped the ball joint off.

Like there isnt anything wrong with majorly wrong with the head, I just think it would work better with a different one.

If you use the 25th flint version, consider using some apoxi, to slightly dull down the high cheek bones a little... to give it a slight difference in facial appearance.

Your use of the cobra officer has given me some interest to buy some fooder of them for some future customs... Cheers.

Still curious to what paint you use. I gues i will just read your tutorials later on when i get a chance.

not sure how you do it...but your skills with hand painting details like the eyes and other tiny applications is always impressive.

Like everybody's said already...there's somthing off with the head...I think it's the eye. In the 1st pic his eye looks rather happy...while the rest of his face is serious ...almost scowling...the other pictures where his eye isn't as clearly visible I think he looks more like Lt. Stone.I think a little more of the "evil angle" in the eye so he looks a touch angrier...or a different expression on the mouth...somthing thats smirking a tad more.

I think like a lot of Toy collectors I'm a sucker for transparent plastic...there's just somthing cool about the way light passes through and gives it life....I think there's opportunity for you to add some bits of transparent plastic tubing or such in the center of the arms...it'd be a bit of work...but obviously you're not a beginer at customizing.

Did you make any attempt to add "swivel arm beer grip" to that Bat arm?
