What's up Tankers!? Here's my latest addition to the GI Joe: Heroes & Villains project that I've been working on. The roster is really starting to fill out now for both Joe and Cobra. Probably only need two more on each team until I'll deem the project complete.

In case you're curious, here are the Cobras I've done so far:

As for Stalker, I always felt like he should be pretty jacked up. I imagined him being built like an NFL running back (more specifically, like Marion Barber). So that's what I was going for with this version of him. I also really like the dreadlock'd look from the POC and Resolute versions, so that's the head I used. And now here he is . .

WOW...Joes are Juicing

Indeed they are on the juice!! Actually, the whole idea behind this project was to make comic book/superhero-esque versions of our favorite characters. Extreme weapons, physiques, body armors, etc. That's what I'm going for here.

interesting he almost looks like the VvV card artwork which I dig
those figures never lived up to the art on the cards IMO

i think you are hitting your mark for what you're shooting for. Too bulky for my tastes though.

Cool idea. He looks pretty good. I would try filling in the gaps on the thighs though with some putty, that would make it look really good.

I 2nd this!

I *really* like what you've done here. Without question i would have purchased more joes from brick and mortar retailers had they looked like this . Some may not like the "hyper muscular" look while others (like myself to a degree) do . A comic book character or "hero" needs to fit the bill.

I don't take steroids and i...lets just say i'm fairly above average. Most of the guys i know who have well built physiques also arent taking steroids. Why *wouldn't* the best of the best soldiers and heroes look like this if they truly are the best in the world or universe?
