"It's time to kick*** and chew bubblegum, and I'm all out of gum."

Man I love that line, best Duke Nukem quote ever! And what's a good quote without the character behind it? I give you Duke Nukem done in Sigma 6 style for my 'VG Allstars' line. He took an annoying amount of sculpting because I used the Sgt Boulder body (Mountain Scout) and he had a sweater on! Gah. That meant carving down the neck, arms, chest, and then resculpting all that. Glasses were sculpted on Frontal Assault Duke's sneering head that I felt worked perfect for the character. I can't find a pic of Duke with any sort of real stubble so I left that off for now. Duke's ready to stomp some alien scumbags, watch out!

I think it turned out pretty good Jin, considering how over the top and caricature-esque Duke is the "animated" style fits his character.

I personally LOVE the Sigma6 figures as they're a great size for "playing" and include weapons (and even some figure!) which feature real deal "play features." I'm especially loving your S6 figure customs too Jin - keep up the great work...and bring on that Cyborg Ninja from MGS :D :D

Did the original figure have armor on his legs or something?
Because they don't work to well for jeans.

But otherwise it's a great custom.

his package is too big unless you include one of the strippers from the game.

looks well done, but I still don't like the sigma 6 style

I personally didnt dig this style either but your customs have sold me. I thought your solid snake was awesome but this just tears up bro. Great work!

That line is totally from the movie "They Live". Nice figure though, Duke Nukem is way awesome.

Thats pretty cool, the more video game characters, the better. You make me want to attempt a Sigma 6 style Resident evil 3 Nemesis

...any of those guys come with a bazooka?

The Leatherneck Combat Squad guy comes with a rectangular rocket launcher, looks like Jill's from the MvC2 game. If you want it I'll send it to ya. You can even slide the center part back and the handle is a gun hidden inside it, 2 weapons in 1.

I remember that movie! With Rowdy Roddy Piper right? Awesome!!

Yep, armor or weird pataloon stuff that makes it look like BDUs and not jeans. This was the closest thing I could find in the middle-size body style. Everything else was too small or too big like Grand Slam.

I like everything except the denim effect
Maybe a wash for the denim instead of a dryrbush maybe? Or should I sand the surface to give it a textured effect next time?

And thanks for all the replies everyone! Got more figs in the works.

I think a scored surface would work better. You might want to head to Home Depot and get yourself a rasp with a single set of lined ridges instead of a crosshatched pattern. They probably have one. If you can find the right one and it works you could actually get a more realistic demin texture

The Sigma 6 style works well for Duke.

Though I'm not a huge Duke Nukem fan, this is probably my favorite video game figure you've done so far, despite my seething hatred of the S6 line.

Any chance of a Simon Belmont?

Oooh nice, and you just sparked memories...I miss my Dreamcast and MvC 1 and 2...never even knew who she was back in the day...was like "she has guns and...zombies?"

And yeah, if you send a PM my way (dont know if you mean send me the gun or a pic, either would be appreciated :D) I'd appreciate it!

Awesome work.

The rate at which you pump out these customs baffles me. I'd be happy if I could do one every six months--I've had a few in my head for years now.
