this year for joe con Joe Declassified put out an awesome, super cool o-ring version of the 50th sightline figure that hasbro named after our good, good, friend gary 'gyre-viper' head (he was in the 50th silent strike set). the o-ring figure was free to any and all attendees. i knew gary well enough to know he didn't much care for customs in general (with some significant exceptions, of course, and he fully recognized their place in our hobby) so, as a full on customizer and friend of goggles, i felt like i needed to not only customize his hasbro figure, but also to make my own 25th style version of the o-ring figure that was based on his initial 50th figure.

That is so cool. Well done.
I love the fact that we had a modern style figure that was reimagined as an o-ring figure and then customized into a modern style figure. I'd love to see all 3 (plus that great one with the Gary unmasked head) all side by side. |

it wasn't that he disliked customs so much as they just weren't really his focus in the hobby. like i said, though, he had respect for the place customizing has in the community.
