 Wheelbarrow & Damaged Brain Mashups by hellopike!
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? Phil

 Re: Wheelbarrow & Damaged Brain Mashups by hellopike!
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.

 Re: Wheelbarrow & Damaged Brain Mashups by hellopike!
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!

 Re: Wheelbarrow & Damaged Brain Mashups by hellopike!
what did you have to do to get the heads to fit? or did they fit with no modifying?

 Re: Wheelbarrow & Damaged Brain Mashups by hellopike!
Thanks everybody, glad you like 'em, glad RC likes them too. kichigai wrote: nice Wheelbarrow, tough as nails! I know! Once I really started looking at the head I realized just how awesome it was! bansheebot wrote: 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'd definitely like to see you do more of these. 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. Joe wrote: Both are sick.

The face has so much character going on in it, I loved painting it. And that pic is captures the character well I think. REdYOdA wrote: Damn, those are both really something!

Thanks, I'm glad the purple shows up in the pictures, its more pronounced in person. Scary Andy wrote: Show some Vinyl Fight love and maybe Koji and the guys'll make some more! . . .  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. =) pickleloaf wrote: what did you have to do to get the heads to fit? or did they fit with no modifying? 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. alifeintoys wrote: Joe wrote: Both are sick.

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
