Thank you for your Ideas.
I know that these toys are pretty pathetic compared to the level of detail you are used to.
Not having seen the issues with these toys first hand, you really don't know what I was going for.
Again I did try to keep it subtle and retain the toy's feel.
Since I had to put all the pieces back together (after I break it all apart)
I could dye the under suit anything I wanted
My main goal was making a figure that could really pose and didn't stand frozen, looking like he was wearing a black armored diaper. At this stage I am really trying to find anyone who knows extreme details who can sculpt or sew on a small scale.
Sadly many Mego Collectors will buy these items even if they have giant heads or don't pose,, or have glued on costumes and just leave the things on the card.
Other people complain about eye color on heads that are twice the scale they should be.
Or complain that they will never buy the figures until The toy company RE-issues them with new heads/helmets or until they chrome plate the soft vinyl cylon heads.
(The company REALLY REALLY overproduced the cylons as they are, so no changes could ever really occur with them)
So I buy them, cut up the armor. Re assemble the armor and put them back together.
Destroying everything underneath in the process.
There are a million ways to geek out about the details (or lack there of).
Right now, I feel like the sole person interested, but I am going to try to get at least a couple more people into making customs, so I'm not the only one trying to finish off the series.
Cool stuff!
