I have posted my good guys (with a few exceptions who will turn up in the future) now on to what makes or breaks any story: the bad guys! As a note, these are rebuilds of characters I owned as a child or knew of from the little scraps of story and set pictures in the catalogues. There might be some missing and I will get to those if there is any special request, because the villains of a childhood game leave a bigger impression than something you come across as an adult. As I said in the Good Guys post I have been using the nice new parts, colours and prints to rejuvinate the older characters. These were all posted with MOCs in the A&A forum but here I will post some more of the process information. Each character will link to the original figure or the version I drew ideas from if there was more than one. So, onto the baddies! First and foremost we have the infamous Baron Von Baron. Now, Baron is the name I came across when I had my first figure from the Bi-plane set. In later Adventurers sub themes he was sometimes called Lord Sinister, which was confusing because that was already a character that had appeared! I decided on the look quite easily, the head is an original and a dark bley pith helmet adds a certain menace to the ensemble. Epaulettes in brown becuase all the old white ones are facing dire sun damage and gold looked too OTT. Dressed in smart but high class suit. Baron is a man of wealth and taste, hence the gold hook. The torso is Lucius Malfoy's, but I can't recall which set exactly that came from. Because the Baron has a duelling scar he must be good with a blade, so the new fencing foil replaced the less refined pistol. Sam Sinister (aka "Evil Eyes" aka "Slyboots") always seemed to be a bit of a gangster to me. A bit of a chancer who deals in grey to black market goods, so all the names figured in fine, they were aliases he used to keep the heat off! The hat and head were iconic so I had to use them, there isn't a face print yet that can come close to the right look. The torso is from the Gangster CMF, a tidy suit for a legitimatre businessman is a must after all. The gun is a bit anachronistic, though it looked good on the figure. In my games he was a little inspired by Batman the Animated series' Joker. So always one to carry an unconventional weapon. Alexis Sinister, sister of Sam (from what the official Minifigure and LEGO Book says) was a figure I wanted really badly. Alas she only featured in Dino Island and only in the larger sets, so was beyond my reach. Attempts at creating the figure led to a classy cat burglar kind of character which I attempted to create here. The haircut is one suited to the era I personally set the adventures and the head first appeared in Agents (this head is Clawdette from this combo...) and works as a replacement to the older print. I like the pupils and expressive eyebrows. The torso is Wild West Wyldestyle and was perfect, from the skull choker to the presented figure. She's just as able to slip in to some fancy party and make of with a prized artwork as she is to slip unseen into a tomb or museum for relic theft. The legs are from Space Police, carrying on with the skull theme. Again, the Lone Ranger gun (I just have so many, they are great!) finished off the deadly look. Rudo Villano (or Max to some.) was the jungle bad guy I had. Unfortunately, everything from the head down face terrible wear and print loss. The old hat was the same as Johnny Thunder's but that meant it was a good guy hat! This black fedora replaced it suitably. The face print is my best choice to match. There is the stubble, the angry expression and the scars were just what I needed. It is from the CMF barbarian figure. Next the torso, the old dark grey shirt from the original lent itself to a scruffier look. One again the CMFs came up trumps, the Biker torso paired well with the gunbelt printed legs to make a bad guy jewel runner from the jungle. A machine gun both worked for the character and the MOC. This is a major major change to the actual Adventurers theme. Senor Palomar was the original character. I was unimpressed I'm afraid to say. Thus, Senor E. Palomar took his place. He is a gent, a land or ranch owner. The sort of unexpected bad guy any adventurer might come across; a genial host who takes in the explorer to his fine estate so they might sleep under a roof (and access plumbing) for a night, then the adventurer finds themself shouting "IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!!" At him as he sails away downriver with a craftily thieved artifact a number of days later. The hat is Lone Ranger's, white as a nod to the original minifig and to the sort of character I had created. The head is from the Space Hero CMF, a print that looked far too smug. The suit is from an old LEGO Movies horro subtheme and a wonderful Lone Ranger gun. These are the figures I have made so far.
