I said in the previous video that Diamondhead was my favorite, and I really liked your previous attempt at him, but this one is just... sooo soooo far and above. That base body is just so perfect. The sharp geometric edges are what I love so much about his design. The green is also much nicer. I also didn't notice how much nicer it was until you showed the two next to each other. Really an amazing job. I want it so bad that I'm really temped to make one myself, despite never having made a custom figure in my life.
