Usually, I'd say something like "welcome back to another fan art challenge" or some such, but since I'm the jackpole who's been away for a year and change, I hope you all welcome me back to host another fan art challenge!
This one's gonna be fairly straightforward. Draw/paint/sculpt/render your favorite figure ever! Challenge closes May 5th, and the poll will open shortly after. Multiple entries welcome!

I think a bit of break was just what the art challenge needed, a +1 though for bringing it back.

It's favorite figure ever, not just LRGs. I've already decided to do an oddblock of Krusher, the big green foam and rubber gargoyle from the 80s. that thing was so wizard!

ME FIRST!! 
Heres a quick color pencil...scanner sucks alot of the color out.
Not sure if it's my favorite ever. But I've had this little guy for decades, and whenever I think of my most important toys ever he always pops up in my list. Funrise 1988' Tortoise.

Thanks! I liked the grade school look of the drawing myself.
I always pictured that little guy running around my room. He actually looks like he just won the race. Should have drawn a broken ribbon around him.MORE ENTRIES PLEASE!

URS there is still time to modify or redraw your entry so it is complete with ribbon, I know a lot of times it's little details that sway my vote. Scumdogg, in my mind was a master at this.

When I was about 8, Krusher was my favorite possesion. At about 18 inches, it destroyed MOTU, stomped Muscles Beasts MIMPs, and outright owned any other toy. But at some point, I thought it would be a good idea to take it apart to see how it worked. I couldn't put him back togather, and eventually he was thrown away. It was the biggest toy regret of my entire life. Two days ago, another Krusher arrived in the mail, surprise-bought by my wonderful wife Liz Sherman.

The Krusher blocks are my newest oddblock style. it took me the better part of this month to get the 3-piece format working properly,and the Krusher head design penciled out. After that, I printed these six, then spent about 30-45 minutes on assembly and paint accents on each.

I'm looking forward to using this new format on a few other familiar charachters.

MAn, if I can find the time to get one started tonight, I could have it finished by the 5th. I will try. I love what everybody's doing, though, so even if I don't get off of my tired ass, great work everybody!
