    Just finished these guys up for someone on the board (I'll let him speak up if he wants to), and he gave me the ok to post some pictures. I love a good mashup:

    The wheelbarrow head-sculpt is so cool. Best Gargamel fight figure if you ask me. I'm going to need to find one for myself now.

    What do you think, sirs?

    I'm floored.

    Fight figures are probably my favorite of all Japanese toys. I generally don't like 'mashups' (wish there was another appropriate term), but these are sick as hell. The colors chosen and the detail you put into the sculpts look great.

    I'm not sure how I feel about Wheelbarrow's head on the SB body. His head is so chunky and fuzzy, while the body is so sleek. I do, however, think the DB head on the Gargamel gi style body looks very fitting.

    I'd definitely like to see you do more of these.

    Damn, those are both really something!

    Personally I am partial to the Damaged Brain... gold, black, brown, red, a hint of purple...I love how the colors work, but both are really well done. Serious talent you've got Phil!

    what did you have to do to get the heads to fit? or did they fit with no modifying?

    Thanks everybody, glad you like 'em, glad RC likes them too.

    I know! Once I really started looking at the head I realized just how awesome it was!

    Thanks!

    I love mashups personally, some combination's definitely look better then others though. Personally I really like the look of the Wheelbarrow head on the SB body, but I can see your point. To me though the Wheelbarrow head looks like a battered boxer, and the gloves and trunks seem to fit together really nicely.

    The face has so much character going on in it, I loved painting it. And that pic is captures the character well I think.

    Thanks, I'm glad the purple shows up in the pictures, its more pronounced in person.

    Definitely. Koji, you seeing this? Put out some more Wheelbarrows! Or get together with hiddy @ SB! And do another offical mashup! I'll paint some, you'll paint some, we'll all be happy. =)

    Yeah they both just fit. Pretty much the same size. The Wheelbarrow head is a little more snug on the SB body, but both attach really well.

    You sir, made my day with that comment, thank you! =) I too would like to see gargamel get wild with the paint on these guys too.

    thanks everybody! Like I said, I'm glad you all liked them!

    phil

    Damn Phil your customs are getting better and better. the wheelbarrow is one of the best customs I have seen in the past few months. LOVE love the colors, if whomever doesnt want it I will gladly take it off your hands.
