There have been a few character kits around, the main one probably being the model kit by Death, Inc "Warrior of the Wasteland" kit of Max and Dog. This kit was probably fairly readily available around 10 years ago, although I don't think it is being made any more, and is obviously a little scarcer now. Below is a picture of a completed kit, I have pictures of the box and unpainted kit which I hope to scan and add soon.

Mike Cassidy had the following to say about the above kit:
"Without putting too fine a point on it, this kit is a mess. The catalog I ordered it from claimed Randy Bowen, the genius sculptor, was responsible for it but I dunno about THAT one!!! Before you even notice what's wrong with the kit, the casting is terrible!! The head looks more like Mel than Comet's but the ears and hair will have to be more defined with Milliput or Sculpey. The shoulder pad seems a little too small and generally all Max's "knick-knacks" such as his spanner, penknife, etc. and the pouches on his belt are all missing. Personally, I feel his left arm is too long and I would try to modify it or even sculpt a new one. Max's leg brace is way off as well. It's been sculpted as part of the leg (As opposed to Comet's version which gives you seperate pieces to construct and attach.) and drastically simplified. I'd shave it completely off with a Dremel and scratch-build something more accurate. As for the dog........well, let's not even get STARTED on the dog!!! Both these kits would definitely require experienced modellers, and even then!!"
David Giovannini also built the kit, and has provided a series of photos to show how he went about it. Check out David's sub-page for an inside look on how to build this kit.
