Prepare for a Blast of Nostalgia!!!!
First, a Brief Cartoon Role Call:
In the 2000s, we had Justice League, My Little Pony, Avatar Air bender, Danny Phantom, Samurai Jack, Ben 10 and Young Justice.
In the 1990s we had TinyTunes, Animaniacs, Batman, Duck Tales, Goof Troop, Xmen and The Gargoyles [Fawk Yeah!!!]
And back In the 1980s, we had the G1 Transformers, Voltron, The Centurions, Heman, G.I.Joe, and Ma-Ma-MA-MASK!!

And my customs are based on two characters that I greatly admired as childhood heroes, back in the 80s, from the MASK Cartoon Series.
Matt Tracker [or often spelled Trakker] was the ultimate good guy, cool-headed and always calm, and he was a loyal father. He also showed a fatherly spirit to his men [and women] and he was always a good father to his son, Scott, even when the young lad would get himself in trouble. Those traits in my eyes, made him a true hero, even though he had no super powers.

Truthfully that cartoon was way ahead of its time in the 80s setting, because the good guys & villains were using advanced nanotechnology, finite-particle manipulation and zero-state quantum mechanics to create those masks with diverse customized powers.
Although fans never got to meet the wife of Matt, they did get to see the Karate Hottie, Ms. Gloria Baker [who is shown as my female MASK agent].
As far as I can remember, these two characters never hooked up in the series, but as a childhood fan, I thought it would be nice to put them together as a power couple.

The base toy for Matt was the buff Marvel Legends Captain Britain [and I enhanced his Sentry-based upper-chest with putty before adding the body armor, gloves and boots]. And the shapely Captain Marvel Carol Danvers was used for Gloria’s base, before her curves were enhanced a bit with putty; plus the extra masked mohawk-head from the Carol toy was used as the base for creating Gloria’s aquatic mask via putty, in stages.

Their removable masks and costumes were fully sculpted and hand-painted with Tamiya acrylics, and the "medium sized base" used for the hefty mask for Matt was gotten from a McFarlene TitanFall figure toy – but I had to enhance it greatly with putty as well. Some of their weapons have magnets and those guns were customized. Sticker-Gemstones were added to Gloria's arm-gauntlets, to make them flashy. A lot of time and effort went into this tag-team, since I started them less than a week ago. Yet I gave them slightly original costumes, while I also endeavored to create something that would resonate with most of the old-school guys like myself.

Enjoy the customs and don’t forget to vote!! :D

"Masked crusaders working over time fighting crime .....secret raiders who will neutralize as soon as they arrive" They were my childhood heroes too. Mask is one of the best classic cartoons. Your customs are awesome and really detailed. Matt Trakker and Gloria Baker were definitely a power couple of the 1980's. Great job bringing them into 6 inch action figure from.
