Nice to see you finally do wendi. I think you missed the mark on this figure, If you would take the head and sunglasses off the body and ask who it resembled I would defiantly not guess Wendi. The hair is not puffy enough in the front/top area and tori's face is to thin and long for a wendi resemblence. The rest of the figure looks great even though I prefer the WM attire with zebra stripes.. why is her back painted the same color as her legs? I'm not sure if I like the stockings effect on the figure, I give you props for doing it and making it more realistic to her apperance but I'm not sure it looks proper in action figure form. Maybe the shade should be just a tad darker then the skintone? I love the chain around her waist and the extra touch with the bandana on her wrist.
OVERALL: I always love looking at your work and your painting is very smooth and even. The best thing as always is the extra few things you do to really make the figure stand out (You forgot to add the blue makeup abover her eyes). If you changed the head and fixed the skintone on the back then this figure would be incredible but unfortunatly the head choice (espically the hair) just does not do wendi justice. If you minus the head and the paint on her back the rest of the figure is phenomenal.

I've seen that Outback Jack recipe already, but it's still awesome.
The Wendi Richter is very nice. Little touches and accessories make the difference, and they are all accurate. I like it. I've been waiting for a figure of her for decades now (since I was actually around for the first LJNs), and that is the outfit choice I would have picked for an official release.

The MM and Miss Elizabeth look good, but I must say I'm a little disappointed becauase when you put Danger Zone as the thread title I thought somebody finally made the Kenny Loggins custom I've been longing for since the 80's. Oh well, looks like I will have to wait for another day.

Here's the beginning of Tanaka: It's a cast of Sakoda's face. I beefed his jaw up and need to sand his mustache and chin down some. I also want to sculpt the top of his pants above his belly button and add the black sash. Here is Ronnie Garvin. I probably need to swap out his wrists for untaped ones. Looking forward to this one... Big Bossman and Slick (I know you can't see Slick's face, but it's a copy of his LJN figure. I know it seems like it wouldn't work, but it does! Scott Steiner, and 2 of my Macho Men projects ;D Uncle Elmer is coming along! He's HUGE!! USA jacket Warrior, Patriot, Nasty Boys Jimmy Hart, Skinner SD Jones needs a headband! Warsman Secret Project
