Alright, thanks a bunch for the detailed directions. I can't wait to get to work. You are truly the Figure Master!! Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing many more of your figures. I try to copy your ideas exactly. That is the ultimate compliment! Can't wait to have my Indy look like yours. Got the Jacket from Soverign and the other accessorries, just needed to know how to do the neck. Finished my Sean Connery Goldfinger figure a few weeks back and am very happy with it. I paid a pretty penny for that Hot Toys Superman suit though. Would love to have your custom Darth Vader, but don't know if I could ever duplicate that one. Your figures are true artwork at its best. Thanks again brother!! Chris

Thanks Black86Gold. Those are favorites for me as well. To make the Ace neck fit a Buck, what I did was to remove the buck neck, the older kind, with the screw/spring assembly, inside the neck housing. First you snap off the old neck housing, it twists off, and then remove the small screw on top of the post, remove the spring and ring, and all that's left is the post. I then build up a ball, right on top of the post, using epoxy putty. Sand and smooth it, and trim the edges of the neck opening, just a bit, so the Ace neck fits in well, with some room to rotate, and it will pop in place. Also, before that, you need to take the ACE neck apart, it unscrews in the back, and replace the upper head mount with the ball with the Sideshow Pro neck ball so the Indy head will fit it properly. Then, paint it to match the body and head, I advise some five o'clock shadown on the neck as well, and it all goes on pretty easily. Not a hard custom change, but it takes some time. Hope this helps.

Hello Les!! Awesome figures!! Was wanting to ask how the Ace neck fits on the Buck body to make the Indy figure? Did you have to customize anything? Thanks, P.S. this Indy figure and the Goldfinger Sean Connery figure you made are 2 of my favorites ever!!

Unfortunately, I do not make Rorshachs, but I know a guy who does! Dark Artist did...but he may be out of it now. Just no time. Cool character though. Would love to have my own. Hang out long enough and maybe Hot Toys will make one. I would assume anyway.

Hello there, Mr. Walker. I came to know your 1/6 action figures through Senor Pitu, I really like your Terminator and Predator action figures. Especially the villain Terminator, really looks like Governor Mr. Arnold Schwarzenegger himself!

Posted a requested vid of my three Hot Toys USCM today. Might be selling the Hudson and Vasquez, but NOT the Hicks, so please, don't ask about that one. Anyway, hope you all enjoy the video. More coming soon, including part three of the Vader with him converted to the Empire Strikes Back version.
