I tackled this project for several reasons. First, I found myself wanting to add some of these characters and wacky colored figures to my collection. It started with just a few figures but, after doing some online research, I realized that there were several more interesting figures in the line. As the project grew, I was rummaging through my fodder bins and I decided to use up as much of my older 25th parts as I could. So, this project became a big ‘’Spare Parts Brigade’’.

Lastly, my life in the last year has been pretty hectic (in a good way thankfully) so this project was something I could come back to easily due to its simplicity.

Every Friday in October, I'll post my Funskool customs. Enjoy!

Credit to bucky for suggesting the Funskool Fridays idea. Thank you my friend.

OB


Part 1: Original 13

Rumor has it that the famous ‘’Emerald Zap’’, blue Snake Eyes, blue Short Fuse and red Stalker were all originally produced during Funskool’s first product run in 1988. Their colors were so different from their North American counterparts that they were revised almost immediately. These figures (and a few others) are the rarest, hardest to find and most valuable GI Joe figures ever produced. If anyone has better info, please feel free to chime in. I still have a lot to learn about Funskool Joes.


Emerald Zap
‘’Emerald Zap’’ was one of the first figures I made in this series. He is a simple repaint of the standard 25th OG13 figure, but I liked the bright green of the original so I tried to replicate it here.

Head, torso, arms: DG Duke
Legs: 25th Snake Eyes
Bazooka, backpack: PoC Steel Brigade





Hawk
Blue Hawk is also amongst the rarest Funskool figures ever produced. He was packed in with a yellow and orange version of the MMS. For my homage, I elected to skip the MMS and gave him a recolored version of Scrap Iron’s launcher instead.

Head: PoC Hawk
Everything else: 25th Comic Pack Hawk
Launcher: 25th Scrap Iron






Short Fuse

Short Fuse was first Joe in 1982, so I have always been attached to the character. Although painting the light blue was a pain, I’m happy with the way the figure came.

Head: 25th Steeler:
Everything else: 25th Comic Pack Hawk





Snake Eyes
I think I’ll use this as ‘’pyjamas’’ Snake Eyes in my collection.

Head: DG Snake Eyes
Everything else: 25th Comic Pack Hawk
Rifle: Marauder





Stalker (Green)
Although most of the figure is pretty close to the Hasbro version, Funskool Stalker is different in one pretty important way, so I thought it would be worth making. I still need to touch up some paint on his face.

Head: 50th Flint
Everything else: 25th Comic Pack Hawk





Stalker (Red)
Stalker is one of several red figures in this series. He came out a bit shinier than I would have liked. I’ll probably hit him with another coat of super flat finish.

Head: RoC Hawk
Everything else: 25th Comic Pack Hawk

What a great idea, I've always loved funskool's wacky colors and that carded Snake Eyes is sweet, pretty sure this is the first time I've seen it, doesn't look familiar at all.
