Another set of figs in my "Ghost Rider" Forever" line. Up first, a samurai!

Tsukahara Hanzo, the samurai Spirit of Vengeance. Another character for my "Ghost Rider: Forever" line.

Loyal guard, slain by assassins while protecting his lord's children in a kidnapping ambush. Resurrected 3yrs later, when the last child died, as Fukush? o Nensh?...the Burning Vengeance!

Dispensing justice with a flaming sword and soul-searing punch, he can also summon a doppleganger of himself as a lightning elemental. His skull still bears the scars of his death blows, half the dome is gone and his lower jaw is missing.

Summoned doppleganger:

Also, a WIP of a far-future robotic or cybernetic GR, what can harness the power of electricity.

All right, moving right along. Next up in my "Ghost Rider: Forever" line is a female Spirit of Vengeance.

Elana Braum, the Lady Ghost Rider of 2050. Last blood relation to the Blaze GR. Medallion of Power activated within her after being assaulted and left for dead in an alleyway.

Powers include: two enchanted chains, twin hellfire blasters, Penance Stare & powered-up Inferno Mode. Rides an old-fashioned mystic-powered chopper. The satchels on her thighs open into a "pocket universe" which she is able to keep her chains and blasters in.

The Blaze bloodline:

Inferno Mode, supercharged with preternatural power. Creates a void that pulls all light and heat into herself to exponentially increase powers and abilities. Used as a finishing move against otherwise unstoppable foes:

Lady GR was made from an Avengers Black Widow, with arms and vest from a TCW Cad Bane. The whips are from the MU GR, the guns are kitbashed, their blast effects are Megabloks fire pieces. The Penance Stare is from a SW Super Battle Droid laser effect. It's the same one from my Blaze GR. The head is from an unknown source. It is clear orange and I've never seen the sculpt before. The Penance Stare flare and Inferno Mode Flare were created by shining a laser pointer into the effect piece while taking the pic.

Thanks for tuning in!

Hey, where did my comments go on your last two. I did get those on the front page.

This new gal looks great too. Love the weapons she is sporting too. Off to the front page again.

How's about a Mando? E'rybody loves Mandos!

This is Ry Geth, Mando merc under the employ of "The Heartless" squad. The Heartless mark their armor with a blood-red "X" on the left-side of their chest piece. Ry utilizes an variant of the "standard" Mando beskar'gam, which is an alloy. It is thinner, lighter and quieter. It won't stand up in a gunfight, but is perfect for hit-and-run missions. He also uses a winged repulsor pack for added flight time (which also gives him the option to hover longer). The wingpack has earned him the nickname "Raptor". His weapons of choice are a human-sized bowcaster and a semi-circular "moonblade" forged of pure beskar.

Ry Geth, "Raptor":

With "Heartless" squadmate Phaze, former Cuy'val Dar urban sniper instructor.

Love the mandos.

Awesome Mandos. Vader's belt looks great on there. His wing controls I assume. Really cool.

Never enough Mandos!

Tamer · « **Reply #1042 on:** August 01, 2014, 06:11:07 AM »

Wow, that is awesome! Off to share. Man, if we get the Mando contest on this would have been perfect for it. Guess you will just have to make a new one now!

Great idea for the Mando group as a whole, but "Raptor" is really cool. What did you use for the repulsor wings?

Darth Optimus · « **Reply #1044 on:** August 02, 2014, 09:04:13 AM »

Thanks!

Starchaser: the wings are from a GI Joe POC "Skydive, HALO Jumper" fig. I traded for a half-dozen a few months ago. They are super useful.

Finished up my 90s-era inspired Bishop over Labor Day weekend. Here ya go!

Lucas Bishop, the time-travelling X-Man, in his classic blue 'n' gold Xavier Security Enforcer (XSE) uniform. Equipped with two future-tech plasma blasters, standard sidearm and combat knife:
