Premier Toys Wasteland Gladiator 1/6th figure

[kam veitch]

Seeing how Dark Toys Deckard came out is not inspiring confidence in DT Max... and that's the one I was now kind of banking on now after Premier's release.

I was thinking the same thing..

This figure is slowly growing on me. My main gripe is with the head sculpt. A good sculpt has always been my main concern, when it comes to figures. A replacement head sculpt will elevate this figure to the point where I'm happy with it.

I agree, we really need a definitive Max sculpt. It's one of the last great characters in my collection that needs a good sculpt to finish it off. I'm sure Beastmaster's will be the one. I also have another potential sculptor in line for the future (a very remote and distant possibility) but that would be an expensive commission. I'd love to see a weary, battered Max sculpt from the end of Road Warrior.

Like when he exits the crashed truck.

Totally! That's the exact scene I had in mind.

Guys, who did this sculpt? I'd love to have this one on my Premier Toys Max (I'm still waiting for mine!)

Looks like Andy Bergholtz' work.

Probably from the early 2000s, he was one of SSC's original sculptors. Unlikely it was ever made for sale, hence the 'personal piece' tag.

Man, that takes me back.

Also makes me realize just how long I've been trying to complete one Mad Max figure.

Always enjoy seeing those old lost treasures, albeit bitter sweet in their having not being released. Reminds me of the licensed 12" figures teased in an old ToyFair Magazine years ago.

Ain't that the truth.

If I’m remembering correctly, they also listed the price point of $30, and I’m sure all of you can relate I was already trying to mentally balance how I can work in that amount with my figure purchases in the near future!

Hi everyone, I just join this frorm and I have been collect 1/6 figure for a while. Here is my first post -

Max Mad 2 is one of my fav movie, have to get him... overall is okay, but I feel the head sculpt is a bit off. And the pair of binoculars is missing in my box. Contacted KG a few days ago... waiting for reply.

In mine, kneepad was missing. Also contacted Kghobby a few days ago, no answer yet

It looks like softening the painted shading of the lower eyelids will go a long way in easily improving how the face looks. Still waiting for my preorder

Here my my custom using Premier Toys Max

• replaced head,body, belt and shoulder pad
• added a few accessories (multi-tool, metal pins, metal name tag, music box, Dog-food can)
• Added weathering and trimmed/fixed some leather stuff here and there

Maybe the head is not sitting right. I only noticed after taking photos. I'll find a way to push in further.

Latest pics of DECKARD are pretty good, heads needs repaint but the rest is pretty good.

I answer myself. Kghobby asked me for pics and they will contact Premier Toys for the kneepad

They asked me the same. hopefully they contact the supplier and get a replacement for me.
Fingers crossed.

Premier Max take 3.

Was the third time a charm?

I'm not sure.

The JX S01 has different proportions to the Ganghood 2.0.

It has longer legs, so I only needed half the amount of white tack in the boots. The jacket appears to be a tiny bit shorter in relation to the placement of the top of the trousers. The biggest pay off is that the body matches the sculpt.

I measured the diameter of the neck on both the Ganghood 2.0 and JX S01 and they were identical.

So this is now Premier Max on the JX S01:

Both are an improvement over the stock figure.

The GH was a little better proportionally for the meeting of the jacket and trousers, but the JX is an almost perfect match for the sculpt paint since it's a properly tanned body.

On balance I prefer the uniformity of the JX, and will work on futzing the belt placement.

Well, mine has finally arrived home after an endless wait in customs. Now as soon as I have time I'll have to work on it, starting with the body swap for sure. @Asta , sorry to bother you but I have a doubt in this regard and maybe you can help me. What peg did you use to connect the head to the JX Toys S01 body? The peg that comes with the figure is too long so the head sits too high, and the one that comes with the S01 is too big to fit on the head connector. Have you modified the latter or have you used another system? Thanks!
