I got started collecting again when the 25th Firefly came out, and then I started customizing when I realized I wanted to make all kind of different Firefly figures. It all just snowballed from there. Here is my FF collection -- all of the modern era figures, all of the ARAH O-ring figures (except version 2), and my customs.

Here's the old school stuff:

I'll see if I can add individual pics sometime tomorrow. I can put them in this thread. Many of them I've posted in the customs thread before, but I'm not sure how many of the links are still active and I know it's a lot of work looking them all up. I'll hopefully be able to do it tomorrow.

A requested, I'm going to post individual pics of my FF customs. Some of them are straight up repaints, some with accessory changes, some are boot-legged ideas from other tankers. Some are my own. Anyway, here they are:

This was a fairly easy one I did based on the cover of one of the DDP Joe comics. Base figure is the same, just added a few customized accessories and knee pads:
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/gasmanguitarist/Joe%20Stuff/My%20Customs/1c115e07.jpg

This was my attempt at a Resolute FF before I knew we were getting a Resolute FF. I like the way it turned out and it was fun doing it:
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/gasmanguitarist/Joe%20Stuff/My%20Customs/7d7e84ab-1.jpg

I called this one "Night Drop Firefly" because I figure he had to be inserted somehow in order to do his dirty deeds. I liked the RIA body a lot so I used it as the base.
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/gasmanguitarist/Joe%20Stuff/My%20Customs/0c4283bc-1.jpg

Upon suggestions from other tankers, I did another of FF in the RIA form but added some of the signature camo:

This is pretty much just a repaint. It's based off of a custom camo job on SE that I saw a tanker do (I have one of SE also):
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/gasmanguitarist/Joe%20Stuff/My%20Customs/799e5a5c.jpg

This was more or less just an accessory change. I love the Pit Commando vests and thought FF would look cool in one:
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/gasmanguitarist/Joe%20Stuff/My%20Customs/1ea533ca.jpg

These are based off of a custom I saw on the tank where a tanker took the Res Cobra Trooper body and painted the shirt purple. It looked nice. I tried a couple of different ways for FF:
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/gasmanguitarist/Joe%20Stuff/My%20Customs/70d56ea7.jpg

This is my own creation. I always thought the Eel torso looked sorta like armor, so I tried this out for FF:

I wanted a FF in black, so I made this one:
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/gasmanguitarist/Joe%20Stuff/My%20Customs/7b4b0b71.jpg

Again, more of an accessory change, I painted a Res Cobra trooper vest to look more Firefly-like because I thought they were cool:
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/gasmanguitarist/Joe%20Stuff/My%20Customs/cb42a6b3.jpg

I kind of liked this SE body and used it as a base for this FF:
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/gasmanguitarist/Joe%20Stuff/My%20Customs/435fa18a.jpg

I really liked the WW torso and the BBQ legs and thought they would make a good FF:

These two are based off of an excellent custom I saw by a tanker using the HISS Driver/Flash torso. I love the armor, so I did a couple myself:
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/gasmanguitarist/Joe%20Stuff/My%20Customs/ed19dafc.jpg

I did this one based off of the cool Sigma 6 FF:
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x317/gasmanguitarist/Joe%20Stuff/My%20Customs/c0d9c586.jpg

I did this one as sort of a nod to SW:

That's it for now. I have 1 in the works. We'll see how it goes.....

That's tight. I thought of how cool it would be if a whole bunch of Fireflies from alternate earths got together to wreak havoc for GI Joe and Cobra alike. They'd be unstoppable! Crisis of Infinite Fireflies!

Which one is this one that is farthest on the left in the front row pushing the carton of backpack supplies? I've never seen that exact one, I don't think, and I like it.

Oh, I JUST figured it out; it's the HoH Firefly. I do have one of those, but I left him in package.

Isn't that the HoH?

Yeah, when it's one of my favs, I always get one to open and display and one to leave in the package/on card. Otherwise, I really don't collect MOC.

I might be wrong, but I think those may be the ones from the '05 TRU Tiger Force collection.

No, thats the orange camo one in the same pic. It may have been from some kind of multi pack or perhaps is a 97-98 kenner toy?

Ohhhhh! I see it now. Yeah, I definitely would not have submitted such a ridiculous suggestion if I had bothered to look at the picture first. Yeah, no idea.

And I gotta say, FireflyGuy, since the first time I looked at this thread, I've been a bit more of a Firefly fan and more interested in his character.

The black one and the orange/green camo on black were actually from a convention set in 2003:

Some nice flrefly's there. The repaints you did are nice, as well as the resolute vest firefly! I am pretty sure the star wars firefly could kick Snake Eyes ass, but not storm shadows.....
