G1 Hound joins M.A.S.K

[Unicron-9]

Repainted Stealth Force Hound.
I didn't know these existed until I saw it at TRU.
Though it is sad it doesn't transform to robot form, it's the closest thing to a good M.A.S.K. toy I've seen since M.A.S.K.
Lots of panels that flip out into guns with the pull of the front bumper.
I just had to get it and repaint it.
Since I doubt a non-transforming TF will score big on the bay I knocked this out in one night so I hope it doesn't look rushed. Still took about 8 hours.

You could use a HA figure for that.

I like the green you used. Makes it look like a Henkei figure.

Interesting. I like all the added firepower. I don't like that he doesn't transform.

I sold all but the main red car with Matt Tracker. I'd do a pic with them together but this guy is a bit smaller than that scale. Larger than the deluxe fig though.

Thanks. Its a decal.

I saw that vehicle yesterday, but I passed on it. Now I'm thinking I should go back, this actually came out very nice.

I tried an HA fig but there wasn't quite enough room for the legs for one to sit right.

love the choice of green, not keen on the gold though, might look better in silver, but overall a great job

Well it wasn't so much my choice if staying with the G1 color scheme. G1 Hound toy had gold in those places. Thanks for the input!

Probably not. But how do they look just standing next to it?

I dunno. Didn't think of that. Maybe I'll take some more pics.

These things have a way of opening them I've never seen. You open the box bottom and turn these tabs then the toy pops right off. Great for selling it in original box like new.
I'm doubtful I'll make what I want for the $10 toy and the work.
I'm thinking I'll set reserve for $30 free shipping. If it doesn't sell I'll keep it.

I really like the dark green colour as well. And shiny! Is that the G1 Universe Hound you've used? I saw a couple at a local toy store and might pick one up. Would make a very cool WW2 jeep repaint/restyle.

[Unicron-9]

Oh sorry I forgot to tell what the toy was called in the first post. Edited!
Its the Stealth Force HFTD Hound. All I did was repaint it.

[Unicron-9]

Oh man its coo! I could have done a neater job on the gold for sure.

Either way I thought this was pretty neat and had a feeling I should buy and customize it to sell. I was obviously wrong as hell though. I have the starting bid at only $20, which is double what it cost. It comes new on card but has not even one watcher yet.
