POC Clutch by ceraurus

[ceraurus]

Another entry in my POC customs of the original 13: Clutch. This body was originally used for RocknRoll, but it wasn't big enough and it looks more appropriate for Clutch. The head already used for Clutch figures works well for the character, but I thought it could use a little more liveliness. I sculpted some shaggier hair and repainted the eyes.

Completed:
- Grunt (http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-customs-finished-projects/122241-poc-grunt-ceraurus.html#), Short-Fuze (http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-customs-finished-projects/123955-poc-short-fuze-ceraurus.html#), Steeler (http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-customs-finished-projects/125445-poc-steeler-ceraurus.html#), Clutch (http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-customs-finished-projects/129968-poc-clutch-ceraurus.html#), RocknRoll (http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-customs-finished-projects/129963-poc-rock-n-roll-ceraurus-updated.html#), Zap (http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-customs-finished-projects/141549-poc-zap-ceraurus.html#), Snake Eyes (http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-customs-finished-projects/147403-poc-stalker-se-touch-ups-ceraurus.html#), Flash (http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-customs-finished-projects/150913-poc-flash-ceraurus.html#), Stalker (http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-customs-finished-projects/151573-30th-poc-stalker-ceraurus-repaint.html#), Hawk (http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-customs-finished-projects/151577-poc-col-hawk.html#), Breaker (http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-customs-finished-projects/151590-poc-breaker-ceraurus.html#)

The shoes really aren't as brown as they look in the pics, they look more dark gray in normal light. Also, his harness is sitting a little high in these pics, but it does sit lower on the shoulders.

Clutch is my fave so far i cant wait to see the rest

[brhodges]

Now thats the updated Clutch we know and love. Great job brother. I'm really digging this one Clutch has been one of my favorites for a long time.

[jllewis80]

I like this a lot. Great Job!

[pig iron grenadier]

I almost wish there was some brown on his vest or chest area....maybe the Gun Holster or the shoulder strap padding?

Otherwise this is great. Probably my favorite so far.
This series is fun and a treat.

[blackrazor1]

Good job. Looks ready for action.

[Cloud Strife]

Dude, I'm totally diggin' what you've done here. The sculpted hair is a nice touch and excellently done. I can't wait to see the rest of them.

[shlappyguy]

Wow, very nice.

[Beckley]

Clutch is my fave so far i cant wait to see the rest

This.

[KingBiohazerd]

Awesome work man!

[wertdog91]

Oh hell yea. This is awesome man

[Toyreaver]

Keep it up. These are awesome. I look forward to your next figure each time. Can't wait to see what you do for Flash, Stalker, Scarlett, and of course Snake Eyes. I curious, are you going to use the POC Snake Eyes for Snake Eyes or something new altogether.

My plan is to use the released versions of Snake Eyes and Stalker. That SE was the inspiration for doing this project, once it occurred to me that the body would be perfect for Grunt, etc. I assuming Stalker will be pretty good, too.

[the odinson]

why the fu<k can't hasbro put out figures like this?

[B and H Comics]

Good lord , I have seven of that SE, whats your address lol. the O thirteen like this is my joenerd dream !

[UMAN]

I'm loving these, man. Keep 'em coming!

[RenHoek]

Needs a little more brown on the vest. Other than that, it perfect.

[darth viper]

[Sgt Humpty]

[Scroll142]

the whole 13 redux is turning out awesome, i would buy this on the shelf. excellent work.

LOVE the mix-matched knee pads

[TEMPLAR BAGGINS]

Love it :)

[Outbackk]

These just keep getting better and better. While I do miss the brown touches, I think it's better off with the black straps and holster. Excellent work!

[Mermaniel]

why the fu<k can't hasbro put out figures like this?

Seriously!!!! They have all the parts!!!!

These look amazing man. I love the updates.

[Huer-Ta]

Dude, you are totally knocking the O13 out of the park!!! I can't wait to see who you do next, I like each one more and more!

[steve2477]

[IIIzoeIII]

[Griff]

[sjames90]

[Mr.Kane]

Man yo' work is...Well words just don't do it justice.

[db2099]

Ceraurus,

I like this. What color paint did you use?

[shakka85]

Clutch is easily my favorite OG 13 character, and this is one awesome figure of him! I like the added hair, and all of the parts work very well together! I would like to see him with the vest pushed down, so it isn't riding so high above his shoulders though... ;)

[MLos1]

clutch is my fave, too

[Raginspoon]

I am not a big fan of the harness but I like this figure. Nice job

[timshinn73]

Maybe the coolest Clutch I've ever seen.

Excellent custom!

[rip_cord]

this is great! that smirk makes me smile.

[Mandingo Rex]

That looks great, but are the upper legs reversed? They look backwards.

[ceraurus]

That looks great, but are the upper legs reversed? They look backwards.

Yeah, they are! I've put them on the right way now.

[Scroll142]

[ero]

That Clutch head is fantastic.

[GAAWAY]

Pretty good looking figure. Very well done.

[blackbarn]

Great-looking version of Clutch. I think the whole team is great though, and love the idea of redoing the originals in a more modern style.

[Zer0G]

I just found this custom now in a search.. Wow.. Great Job. the Vamp was my very first GI Joe vehicle so clutch holds a special place in my collection.

[DaBooma]

That is AWESOME! Great work!

[wrw311]
