Here's the story behind this series of customs...

XXXXGI/JodisXXXXX

A long time ago in a glaxy far, far away...

Star Wars: A Real Galactic Hero

It is a dark time. The Cobra Empire has spreading it's tyrannical regime across the galaxy, destroying everything that stand's in it's way. Ruled by the Cobra Emporer, the Empire has such destructive agents as Darth Vastro, Anyajj Barontress, Sith Shadow and Zar Tessel, as well as countless Shocktroopers.

The denziens of the galaxy have not all submitted, however. Led by Clay-Tonn Jin and Lady Jeia, the Galactic Insurgance has risen from a band of rebels to a near army. But even with accomplished soldiers such as Han Dasholo, Lonzo Calrissian and Wedge Armtilles, the Galactic Insurgance just has too few resources to fight back effectively.

But they are not alone in their struggle. Remanants of an order before the Empire's reign called Jodis still fight. Powerful warriors with incredible abilities, the Jodi's include Aayla Secarlett, Mave Hindu and the enigmatic Mandalkage. Linked through the young Duke Skywalker, the new GI/Jodi Alliance has begun, and they may jusyt be strong enough to topple the greatest evil the galaxy has ever known.


Introducing the first figure, MANDALKAGE!!!


When a mission absolutely needs to be accomplished, Mandalkage is the person for the job. One of the most skilled warriors in the galaxy, Mandalkage hides his Ninjeda skills behind his impressive commando abilities. Little is known about him, but what is known is that his life has been tragic, and his past has turned him into the most lethal warrior. Although his voice is never heard, he is known to be romantically linked to Aayla Secarlett, friends with Lonzo Callrisian and a bitter rival of Sith Shadow.

[SITHLOU33]

Dude I'm high on painkillers, don't frak with me like this.

[Snake Eyes-Joe Ninja]

Eh, I have really, REALLY BAD ADHD and I thought about this back in 04. Now, with the $$$ and the time and the friends with talent, I figure'd I could actually do it. Yeah, this is more for fun thatn anything, but it came out soooo cool I had to share it.

[Snake Eyes-Joe Ninja]

lol

[COBRACOLLECTOR]

[daremo]

Awesome custom, Deckard! Star Wars and Gi Joe do mix well! I'm in for at least one custom, let me know what you're thinking.

[Kalibus]

Star Wars and GI Joe. Who would of thunk it. lol. Good stuff.
He looks good. Show us some more pics of him. Maybe in some more dynamic poses. Oh and recipe please.
What other characters have you thought of? Maybe i can contribute.(time permiting)

[Deckard]

oh theres some more to come. and trust me theres a top secret fig in the works . ;)

[Snake Eyes-Joe Ninja]

Ah, yes... The secret figure....

Lol... Seriously can't wait to see that one!

Here's the "current list" of characters beeing worked with.

Snake Eyes/Boba Fett > Mandalkage
Destro/Darth Vader > Darth Vastro
Cobra Commander/Emporer Palpatine > Cobra Emporer
Storm Shadow/ Darth Maul > Sith Shadow
Flint/Han Solo > Han Dasholo, the SMUGgler
Scarlett/Aayla Secura >Aayla Secarlett
Stalker/Lando Calrissian > Lonzo Calrissian
Zartan/Zam Wessel (Eh, it'd have to be a bit of a stretch...then again, they never confirmed whether Zam was technically a woman or not...) > Zar Tessel
Lady Jaye/Leia Organa > Lady Jeia
Roadblock/Mace Windu > Mave Hndu
Hawk/Qui-Gon Jinn > Clay-Ton Jinn
Ace/Wedge Antilles > Wedge Armtilles
Vipers/Stormtroopers > Shocktroopers
Gung Ho/Alpha > Gamma

Characters from the Joe Universe I'd love to get it:
Mindbender, Serpentor, Beachhead, Firefly, Big Boa

Characters from Star Wars:
IG-88, Amidala, Obi Wan Kenobi, R2D2

I'm tossing around the ideas of Big Boa/Durge and Mainframe/R2D2. A Yoda/Flagg would just be icing on the hilarity cake.

[Snake Eyes-Joe Ninja]

A thought that just popped up in my head...

Wild Weasel/Imperial Pilot (full mask) > Mad Mynok

It's going to suck going trough all my old SW stuff to get those ROTS Clones, lol

[Snake Eyes-Joe Ninja]

Sorry to post again, but here's a pic of Sith Shadow WIP!!! Thanks to Shogi who's painting this bad boy!!!!

[Elite Force Cobra]

[Snake Eyes-Joe Ninja]

Thanks. The Aayla Secarlett and Darth Vastro figures are also done, so hopefully soon I can get some pics of them up. Thanks to Omegawrath!

[GI Guppy the third]

Dude I'm high on painkillers, don't frak with me like this.

T-shirt worthy

[TheLongestDay]

That idea is AWESOME!!! what a wicked "amalgam/elseworlds/what if?" story!

[Snake Eyes-Joe Ninja]

Thanks Longestday. I'm working with a couple of other people now with some new customs on this. I have "in theory" being worked out, if the customizer agrees, I'll post what it is.

[Snake Eyes-Joe Ninja]

Update on Project: Kalibus is now working on Firefrek, Cobra Empire guerilla!!!

[Dark 5cythe]

I dont.......I dont get it. It looks like boba fett with a bad paint job. I dont see any joe parts.......

Im some confused.....

[TENIME_art]

Nice. Seriously. Nice. ^_^

[crazyfellow1]

I dont.......I dont get it. It looks like boba fett with a bad paint job. I dont see any joe parts.......

Im some confused.....

I was thinking the exact same thing, am I missing something here?.....

[Dark 5cythe]

I was thinking the exact same thing, am I missing something here?.....

Maybe its some kind of joke? The other one is a battle damaged darth maul painted white and red...........?

[Snake Eyes-Joe Ninja]

They are combinations of Star Wars characters and GI Joe characters. As close as we can get.

Snake Eyes is the silent bad ass, Boba Fett is the quiet bad ass. Destro is second in command and apparently the main bad guy of the movie. Darth Vader is second command and the main villian. Scarlett is a sexy red head, Aayal Secura is a sexy alien.

It's just for fun.

[Snake Eyes-Joe Ninja]

And please note that the two pics are WIP photos.

OK, thanks for explaining it :) It makes more sense now. but why is boba painted light blue and purple, if he is supposed to be SE shouldn't he be a dark gray and black?

[Deckard]

not neccesarily. and its not purple its just the way my camera took the picture. Bloody flash. Its actually a dark blue.

Thats cool, I like the ninja clan symbol is on boba's chestplate

[TheLongestDay]

cant wait to see the rest.hell id do some customs myself if i could get 25th joes here grrrrrrr!

[dealer]

Ok I know you've already got a name, but there is no way you can make that figure and not call it Joeba Fett.

[crazyfellow1]

hehehe Joeba Fett, thats great.

[Snake Eyes-Joe Ninja]

Joeba Fett, huh? I like that...

As for the color scheme, a common one with Snake Eyes has been black and blue, and I went with Mandalorian tradition.

With the Mandalorians, the colors you choose for your armor are representative of you and your goals. Black is a combination of revenge and justice, while blue is the pursuit of peace and prosperity, whereas the red symbolizes a, and I don't remember for sure, but I wanna say a rivalry or anamosity towards others. Not only do these fit the character well, but they look cool in my opinion.

[Snake Eyes-Joe Ninja]

Alright, a coupl eof people have made suggestions for a new name, so, consider this now a poll. Which name is best?

Mandalkage
Myth-Eyes (a play on the Mythsaur, which is the skull on the Mandalorian armor)
Joba Fett
(write in)
