Remember “Saturday
morning cartoons?” This weekly event was
a staple for us kids back in the day when there were only six channels to
choose from on TV! I grew up watching
everything from Looney Toons, to Super Friends, to the Smurfs. I loved the adventure side of Saturday
morning, and nothing compared to the shows of Hanna Barbera: Thundaar the
Barbarian, Johnny Quest, Herculoids, Dino Boy etc.

Another such
character was The Blue Falcon and Dynomutt.
I’m not sure what exactly attracted me to this bizarre character(?) It may have been the campy style of the show, and a
character who was spoofing my favorite superhero, Batman. It may also have been his guest appearances
on one of my other favorite cartoons of the time, Scooby Doo! Below are some of the original model sheets by Alex Toth, as well as some CG models built as a test several years ago:

So, I want
to make my own 1:6 scale versions of these guys!! And here are the first attempts of the 3D
head prints in full color sandstone.
It’s great to see them printed in color but I may print a set out in
white plastic and hand paint them for a more smoother surface.
