I agree that anyone who is making their own figures is cool and even more so if they just happen to making figures of some supermely cool characters.
however the actual job itself isnt that great to be fair.
A bit of red paint over ccclops and a nuclear sign :hm:
I dont want to put anyone down here, but would like to see something a bit smoother, maybe smooth the joints a bit maybe or remove some of the visor to make it less cyclops.

As one who got "persuaded" into making 10 or so VH-2 Bloodshot figures for the Acclaim Ink fan club, it can get time-consuming.

Sculpting Solar's visor (yeah, I made a few custom Solars, as well) is one of the easiest things to do, so leaving Cyclops' visor intact is inexplainable to me, because he seems talented enough. Same with the customizer not doing a base primer coat to get rid of the yellow that you can see on the boots. Those things would literally add 15-20 minutes to the project and would make it look even better.

Ok, maybe a little sloppy but nice attempt. Great to see anyone do a Valiant character of their own. As far as I know this might be the guys first custom so :thumb:
