Aside from a Scarlett head-to-toe repaint, this is my first true 25A figure. It's also my first custom from outside of the GI Joe universe.
As soon as I heard that The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers was coming out on DVD, I decided to assemble a team of unique customs to protect Earth and our allies. Couldn't resist saying that. It's pretty hard core geek. I'm sorry.
I figured out which parts to use for which characters and then started on Niko.
I tried to really nail the look of the character. For anyone paying attention, I placed the holster on the wrong side and ignored the chest strap entirely.
The hair is just a wee bit big, but it's still pretty good.
The blending of the upper and lower torso isn't flawless, but it's pretty good for a first time. As I truly hate the mid-torso articulation, I'll probably be doing this as I tinker with 25A customs.
The more work I did on this custom, the less interested in it I became. I'd almost say it's unfinished. The striping on the sleeves, for example, needs to be edged with white to cover up the feathering of the blue. However, I don't see that ever getting done.
Likewise, making this one Galaxy Ranger might have been enough to get it out of my system. Although I have Zach, Doc, and Gooseman loosely assembled, I just don't have any desire to work on them.
Good job all around on this one.
