Thanks. I hope to be able to add some Skelcons in time, funds permitting.

I would have loved an official MOTUC Blackstar figure too, but they only got the Filmation MOTU licence late in the game and I doubt it extended to other Filmation properties (though technically, with him being represented as a statue, they might have been able to stretch it a bit)

Heroic Warriors - He-Man on Battlecat

As if He-Man and Battlecat weren't impressive enough on their own, the sight of He-Man riding on Battlecat's back is enough to strike terror in the hearts of the denizens of evil. The riding he-Man is a conversion of the Quest Miniatures He-Man, I cut off and reposed one leg and bent the other one slightly, some putty to cover the gap. Battlecat is of course another copy of the OOP Grenadier model. The base is a lipped base blank by Fenris Games and the tile texture was added with putty.

I still remember those days fondly: I got Zoar (at that time only an orange eagle with a suit to shoot missiles, was my first ever He-Man mini. I got it as a present. My dad wanted to be nice and it wasn't that much more expensive than a Star Wars toy. Then I discovered that there were more minis from this collection called Masters of the Universe...
and I wanted to have Battle Cat.

Battle Cat was the most amazing, spectacular, incredible toy that I had ever seen! I huge green tiger with an armor...wow!

He-Man followed much later...

@topic great painting as usual and the conversion works pretty well. Nice post!

Thanks. Finished another one, but can't seem to get a good focus on her face in the pictures.

Heroic Warriors - Gender-swapped He-Man on Battlecat

A while ago I converted a Hasslefree Daphne figure into a gender-swapped version of He-Man. The idea being that He-Man (or Prince Adam) was temporarily turned into a young girl through some ancient artefact or magic spell (possibly one of Orko's spells gone wrong). This is the mounted version of that character. I'll leave it up to you to imagine whether Battlecat also had a sex change or not if you're into that kind of thing.

Mounted and Unmounted version

I used the same base figure for the mounted version, with reposed legs and the addition of fur panties and boots and a swap for another spare Quest Miniatures power sword. Battlecat is yet another of the Grenadier OOP Battlecats, which I've collected over the years. The base is a blank lipped base from Fenris (the closest match I could find to the large Battlecat mini), with added tile texture with putty.

Fighting Skeletor's minions

All my (good) He-Man versions so far...

Anti-Eternians - Anti-Man-At-Arms in Windraider

One of the elements in the original Anti-Eternia audioplay is that Anti-Man-At-Arms comes flying in in a windraider. Now I had converted a Quest Miniatures Man-At-Arms to fit into the old Grenadier windraider, but I didn't feel like doing yet another flying Man-At-Arms so soon after the skysled version. So in an unexpected turn of event, I ended up painting an Anti-Eternia windraider before doing a regular one. The Grenadier model is based on the toy version, so it's a one-person aircraft, unlike the Filmation cartoon 4-seater. All in all, the Quest Miniatures models work well enough with the much older model. I cut off about 3/4 of the legs for this one. There is no official colour design for the Anti-Eternia windraider, so I went with what seemed to make sense to carry on the theme.

By the Power of Grayskull! This one looks awesome!

That Man-at Arms really does take well to your conversions.
This is another one that seems like it was just meant to be.

Thanks guys. It will be a while before I can get started on the next batch.

This project fills me with envy. I love what you're doing.

I wanted to get the Icon Heroes castle and mountain back when they were released but couldn't afford it at the time. Sadly now they're far beyond my price range.

Keep it up, I can't wait to see what you post next.

I love this thread, eye candy every time I check it out.

Thank you, loads more to come.

Prices went up a lot. I overpaid as well but not as badly as it would be to get them now. Didn’t get the Grayskull business card holder when I had the chance and even that now goes for several 100 USD.

Evil Horde - Hordak

Hordak is the evil tyrant ruling Etheria and main villain opposing She-Ra with his Evil Horde. Skeletor's erstwhile mentor, they are now bitter enemies and while temporary alliances are not unheard off, they invariably end in betrayal on one end or the other, usually both. He has the ability to transform his arms into a variety of mechanical weapons, the most famous being a cannon arm.

The model is a resin figure part of a limited release private commission and sculpted by the talented Boris Woloszyn. The pictures make the colours out to be slightly more dull than reality. The action shot with Slime Monster He-Man and Skeletor is a closer representation of the colours. The base texture was sculpted in putty over a plastic lipped base and painted in red as my default colour for Horde characters.

Hordak sending off a slime possessed He-Man to take out Skeletor once and for all...:

A closer look at the head:

Very, very nice! I currently don’t have time for painting and seeing your ace paintjobs makes it very hard.

Have you already gamed with your precious?
