It's really nice to see the o-ring get some love, man, I was starting to think I was the only fan! Nice Job!

Thanks . At that time I had those pebbles in my garden, and without intent, I matched the colour and design of the garden!
Ninjaku, o ring forever! I was surprised to see how the o-ring customs disappeared completely lately. Sure, the new figures are more articulated and everything... but to me, a Joe needs a o-ring. 5 more; Fog Viper; Fog Vipers are trained to generate tremendous columns of smoke, a smog so thick that no Joe can see through it! this fog is also very poisonous, as Cobra has cutted down costs and considers it's toxicity a plus. Their colours are specially recognizable so other Cobra troopers nearby don't shoot at them. Fog of War; leader of the Fog Vipers. I had a few yellowed Toxo Vipers, without helmet, hence these customs. At this time I was still using air drying clay, which didn't give so good results as epoxy putty. Goldadder; Goldadder is a mysterious strategist that appeared on the midst of a battle nearly lost by Cobra, where he saved Cobra Commander and Serpentor of sure defeat and capture or death. Since then this mysterious character is a respected member of the high spheres in Cobra. I thought the torso of Cesspool was very cool (I had the torso before I even had the figure) and so I figured that a good sort of Cobra general could be made with it. Holographic; Gi Joe specialist in holograms and 3d virtual vision. Originally I was planning to use a sort of hand held projector to go with him, but never got around to do it. Wreckage; inspired by the never released version of Hasbro, I thought it would look cool to make a sort of v2 of him, with Storm Shadow's head; Sorry for the rather dark pictures. These were among my first customs.

I remember them because in the 1980's there was an issue where Captain America has to gun a few down to save some hostages and that was a BIG DEAL both in the Marvel universe and in the comics world, Cap killing people. Times have changed.

In my case, I stumbled upon him when I saw a pre-marvel legends custom of him. I might have some issue with him, but he isn't the main villain I think.
SeanC, thanks for the info, curiously I have that Aliens figure! they'll have to share the accesory now . This time a whole group, and I am start to run out of customs; When I started collecting, the Red Shadows caught my interest, such a new idea I never heard about. And as such, I thought that I would expand and make them into a sort of new 3rd faction to the GI Joe - Cobra world. This is why I didn't go fully monochromatic with them, as I thought "Not all Cobras wear blue and red, so not all Red Shadows should be red & black!". Anyway, here they come; By order; Gold Creeper; A Night Creeper that has gone rogue and betrayed the organisation, a renegade Night Creeper that joined the Red Shadows after keeping the booty of a bank robbery. Sonicshock; leader of the Gas Troopers. Electroshock; female expert in electronics. Shadowbot; Red Shadows answer to the BAT. Shrapnel; field operator and tester of new weapons. Nocturn; expert on night ops. Nightfall; stealth ninja. Snowblind; extreme temperatures expert. Inverter; scientific and hi-tech weapons developer. Gas Troopers; crazy enough troops to use potentially lethal biological weapons. Group pics;

Thanks for the comments. I've been disconnected from the Joeworld, but now I am back!!
Itchweed, that is the greatest praise one can get as a customizer ;) . I bring you more joe goodness. I have managed to put order to my customs pics, in an enlightened holiday morning, and have thought better to retake this chronologically. So this are all the first customs I did, back in 2008. Some are a bit crude, and I had lots of learning to do, but everybody needs to start somewhere . I thought all the same, they will be enjoyable or inspirational to see. (I did some more, but they are either not relevant, or soon to be improved!) Dark Approach; a more realistic Shockwave to reuse a yellowed Shockwave. Night Interrogator; a bizarre idea, due to some of the parts I had lying around :lol: . Chromemask; guerrilla leader in Sierra Gordo, that bought a second hand mask from Destro to cover his scars. Missileblast; mad scientist wanting to blast the world . A very common thing in the Joeverse. Broker; Broker was a employee of Wall Street that lost his job during the 2008 economic crisis, and he became a Dreadnok, stealing banks, insurance companies and wreaking havoc all around, trying to destroy all social and economic form of order. Swamp Vipers; to reuse so many Fast Draws and Big Boas in bad condition, I came up with this idea, Vipers of low cost that patrol Cobra Island. Storm Ram bike; A custom made Dreadnok cycle, one of my earliest customs ;) .*Last pic shows how it looked the original before. WIP PIC Cobra Elephant; when Cobra Commander goes on safari, he needs a proper ride ;) .

A few more old customs;
Here is Nytrogen, a GI Joe member that uses a nytrogen pistol to freeze his opponents and to destroy with the intense cold doors and other obstacles. Here is my new team of Action Force members; Glaciar, the alpinist high mountain specialistPolar; the extreme arctic specialistKnightfox; leader of the teamSensor; radiocommunications expertBlack Eye; malasian ninja masterSkislide; skiing specialistToxic Gas; NBQC expert This is Throttle, the brother of Major Storm and co-pilot of The General. Here is Technic Viper (if you have a better name I'am open to suggestions), Cobra's Septic Tank driver. Here is Bio BAT, the new invention of Dr. Mindbender. It is a Cobra Trooper that was injured during combat and it was given robotic parts. Here is Eclipse, a mercenary specialized in driving the most advanced machines and devices. Based on a original idea of Nuevadominion forum users Iron Grenadier and Cobra Commander. Here is the Ice Viper Commander, an officer to direct the units of WOLFs. Here is Machete, a mysterious mercenary that enlisted the Tiger Force due to his great abilities in jungle warfare.
