Like Monte my customs are more "Pop head, add webgear, give weapon" than the more professional looking stuff on here so I figured a catch all would work better. I'll try and update every few days or so and I'm gonna start off with two figures that share a theme, so lets set the tone with a song
<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1DD_NCM_RJs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> you probably guessed that I'm a Fallout fan and so the first two I'm gonna to show you are based on the most resent game, New Vegas Joshua Graham: the Burned Man I just got the Idea looking through my parts bin I'm looking for a storm-rider so I can give him longer legs to give him the imposing stature he has in the game or something closer to it. but for now I'm happy with him. also I found a sliver short barreled .45 to give him his gun "A light shining in darkness". Joshua Graham - The Fallout wiki - Fallout: New Vegas and more heres his bio if you want to learn a bit more. I'm kinda playing with the idea of putting him in my universe, A Mormon missionary fighting Cobra is just awesome. Long-Range:NCR Ranger? This might be my favorite design from any game ever so I knew I had to do my best to do it justice in 1/18 scale. This one had taken a lot longer then I thought it would. See I ordered the jacket from Killuminati back in May and thought It would be in when I got back from college, turns out he forgot to send it out until July...it was worth the wait. the parts fell in to place after that though I might replace the legs with something longer this almost a perfect translation from the game. gave him an extra Airborne head to give a pasting resemblance to the Sigma 6 version of the character. |

I don't know the source material, but I find the figures intriguing.

Now who or what is Killuminati, and what other kinds of cloth goods are available from him/them for this scale?!?! |

Man, I'd kill for an official Joe sized figure with Ranger Combat armor. The parts would have to be switchable so I could put the helmet on a Chinese Sneaking Suit guy.
It wouldn't be Fallout if you couldn't do it just like you wanted. Joshua Graham rules. Shit, I love New Vegas so much. You should make a Ulysses. |

ok time for the actual update.
Chuckles: "he who laughs last" when IDW started the Cobra series who knew they could take a character whose biggest moment in Joe before that was throwing a missile at a tank and turn him in one of the biggest bad-asses in all of joe-dom, though I am now realizing that throwing a missile at a tank is still pretty bad-ass Parts body: ROC Wal-Mart exclusive Hawk. head:AOCI boxset Chuckles. and to complement him Cobra-Commander:the most dangerous man in the world. Body:ROC CC Head : resolute CC this one is both inspired by Monte and IDW, Seeing as my cobra commander hadn't changed figures in going on three years there needed to be change. the armored torso grows on you the way I see it is that it's an advanced armor that could take an AK round point blank and still keep you alive even if you do start to hate the fact you are. "Is this how they see me?" the CC in my universe has started to question himself is he the ruthless leader of the most powerful terrorist organization in the world or just some smuck who can't get over the death of his brother and how his marriage ended. He's destroyed Moscow, taken over Benzeen but is he ready to face the fact he's a terrible Father....who knows right now he has to shoot lasers at a guy in a sailor suit and the Native from village people. "We both knew how this would end" "Shut up and pull the trigger. " see you guys tomorrow. Last edited by KINGOFNOD5; 01-03-2012 at 10:12 PM.. |

I really want to read all of IDW's Joe stuff, but I can't fit comics into my budget.
Ha ha ha, too true. Such is the challenge facing he who wants to bring a touch of poignancy to his Joeverse. |

Bookmarked for future reference. Thanks!
And hell yeah, cloth goods were a big part of the charm for me, where Sigma 6 was concerned. |
