I know I'm drudging up a 3 year old custom, but I got to thinking about it recently.
Has any company come up with a Joe scale Interceptor?

Great Max. You inspired me to make mine which is also posted here on hisstank - http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ax-custom.html
I mentioned you in my post, how you used the Star Wars head. I tried the same head but didn't see it so I went with a generic GI Joe. Did you paint the head to look more like Mel Gibson? Last edited by CiBe240; 04-16-2016 at 12:47 PM.. |

Their pics showed the head from different angles. That was when I decided that with a bit of work, it could pass for an ok Mel resemblance. That was also my method for turning ROC General Hawk into Colonel Trautman from Rambo.

FWIW, I did a quick Amazon search on Ford Torino which I am pretty certain is the base car for the Interceptor. There are quite a few choices there, so you could get like a 1970 Torino and customize it.

A quick Googling shows Mad Max's car is a 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT Interceptor. Also known to those of us Down Under as The Allan Moffat special. Ford is actually a whole separate beast here in Oz, though many of the cars are identical. There are no Torana's, just Falcons. And the Falcon is a VERY popular car. Curiously enough, I believe Allan Moffat is Canadian, though is loved by many, many Australians as a favourite driver and considered a helluva guy. eBay searches show $250 AUD will get you an exact replica, die-cast and such, but that's probably still a bit too dear. I've personally seen them at toy fairs here in Perth for about $100 2nd-hand. Easier to get a plastic model and reinforce it to play-with standards I reckon, though the models I think are still around $50.
