#995 - Sparks (Sunbow)
Sparks made only a handful of appearances in the Sunbow cartoon (a total of 4, I believe), never got a vintage ARAH figure and never got a modern era figure and yet he is a character that most GI Joe fans know. I had forgotten about him until I re-watched the original mini-series. Since then, I have wanted to make a good custom of the character. I have made a couple of versions prior to this one, however, they all suffered from some flaws (lack of the right parts mostly) and have all ended up dismantled. With this custom, I hope to make my definitive version. Head, torso: 50th Falcon Arms: 25th Cobra Flint Legs: RoC Zartan Helmet, head gear, Marauder MTF Backpack: Vintage Battle Pack Lifeline Web gear: DG Snake Eyes

I remember seeing him in the toons wondering why he never got made.

Great custom! Sparks was one of those cartoon-exclusive characters; kind of like how Dr. Venom and Kwinn were comic book-exclusive characters.
Hasbro did eventually make a Sparks figure, but it didn't so much resemble the cartoon character in my opinion. Jason |

Sparks was one of my first 25th customs... I kind of abandoned him, but I should pull him out one of these days...
