So my older brothers very first GI JOE figure was Flash back in 1983. I dont remember him getting this figure first...but he is adament about it. I was only 6 back then, so I wouldnt know. Ha.
Anyway, for christmas this year I decieded he needed a 1983 Flash MOC. I obviously cant afford to drop hundreds of dollars on one, so I made one myself. The image that I had required A LOT of repair work, I actually posted a picture of what I had to work with...and then the end result. I decided to leave the back pretty much original. I just replaced the text with newer and cleaner type. Here are the pics, I hope he likes it! (and doesnt see this thread, but then he doesnt come on here much!) Thanks for looking guys! Sam The image I started with Front Back |

Thanks! Yeah, it probably shouldnt have the yellow "swivel arm" graphic at the bottom. I thought of that after it was done....but I dont think he will care that much....at least I hope not! ha. Thanks again....it was tedious, but fun to make!
