Competition of Lil' Armory?

Uh, isn't the fig towards the bottom holding one of Jeff's weapons?

Competition? No, but alternatives are always welcome. Red Bean's stuff isn't competition, but it does give us several choices from two great customizers. One needn't think that one maker of custom gear must compete against the others.

Whomever Arealight is, he's not at Jeff and Isaac's level, but hey, ya gotta start somewhere. I think it's a very promising start at that.

That's kinda what I said...

Dont get too over-confident, id go for that first helm over your beaky thing any day...

No offense intended, i just dont like those funky beaky helmets....In any way shape or form.

With any historical pieces, so far, I will be "over confident". I have to be.

Looking at Dire Avenger's avatar and rereading comments about funky helmets.

Yeah...but I won't go there. To each their own.

Here's what I said about his stuff when it was first found by Blasterman:

Though it's clear that this guy has some talent when it comes to sculpting, I can't say that I'm too fond of the designs he's come up with. As others have said, the visored helm is just too cartoony, and I think that the one with the spike/spearhead thingy on the top looks silly. The last one is okay, but it kind of reminds me of Darth Vader. I'd stick with the official Lego helms if these were made available.

My feelings about the visored helm and matching armor, wacky spike helment and the Darth Vader-esque helm remain the same.
As for the new pieces, they are definitely much better in than the others. I like the crested helm and matching armor... I might buy them if the price was right. The beard is a completely different story. To be completely honest and blunt, I think it looks like crap. I'd take Lego's (or Redbean's) design any day of the week.
Did anyone else notice the sword in the first four photos? Is that a custom or just a piece that I'm unfamiliar with?
