That psycho mantis is sweet. Do you have any plans to do the ninja?

The Rocketeer is pretty cool except the helmet looks a little too big. The T2 Arnold is pretty decent. The rest are decent besides the Batman being IMO quite awful and made me chuckle a little bit.

Thank you, I want to create a Ninja, for me its just a matter of finding the right pieces to assemble him, i like to take some creative liscence to my projects but as long as create something that reflects the original intent.

Well, Thank you for your comment, i intend to finish my "Works in Progress" on each of these with due time. If i may ask, how would you approach the Batman figure to create an overall "Better Figure?" I gotta ask if i want to improve my skills

The Batman body isn't bad, it's the head that's out of place. Go to Broken Arrow Toys and buy their GI Joe 'The Bat' head.

Thank you for the suggestion. I bought a few heads from there recently, I was very pleased with sculpts. I think I will include the bat head in my purchase from there.
