A few years ago, when Hasbro pulled out of Joecon and there was nothing for fans to take photos with. like a giant package, I wanted to do something. I had a explosion back backdrop made and brought it to Joecon.
Then inspired by the Star Wars set pieces and other backdrops at cons, I felt GIJOE fans needed something also and the Terrordrome concept art backdrop by Dusty was born. Thanks to your funding, that became a reality and is now seen at cons where the Finest appear. Well if Star Wars can have a Tattooine backdrop, a Death Star backdrop and more, why can't the GIJOE community? When Hasbro announced it was going to remake the Sears exclusive Cobra missile base I knew we had stumbled on to a new project. I emailed Dusty almost that day and he agreed it would be a cool idea. (Sorry Joes, maybe the next one won't be Cobra) Today I am launching a kickstarter to get the backdrop funded. The Missile base backdrop will be an artistic interpretation of the original playset just like the Terror drome and most of Dusty's art. Once it is funded and created, it will travel with the Finest to cons all over the country that they attend. Now that they are making life size props it will fit right in. You can see the project here.: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...photo-backdrop Every little bit helps and you could get your own Dusty Crosley art. Here is the Terrordrome backdrop in action.

There will be progress updates as we go along. However if you watch the video and take a look at this picture here, You can see Dusty's style.
It will be a combination of the original art and Dusty's style. https://www.facebook.com/TheFinestCC...type=3&theater Stretch goals will be to increase the size of the backdrop. The largest size would be 20 feet wide by 10 feet high!

Been just over a week.
I am waiting for more art from Dusty, Meanwhile we are at 48 percent with just 9 days to go! Hopefully we can make goal and then donate this to the Finest. Then the missile command base backdrop can travel around the country with their other props for everyone to enjoy! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...?ref=user_menu if you were on the fence, here is another incentive. The 11X17 print would be the perfect size for a 1:18 diorama backdrop. A little different than Hasbro's version and something to consider. Thanks to those who have already backed!

Just FIVE days left and over 60 percent funded. BIG thanks to those who have backed.
SHARE SHARE SHARE and of course drop a fiver on it! This will help the brand by placing it large and in charge at cons across the country! Not to mention helping out charities like the Finest and Cobra's first legion back. Totally NFP one of a kind items, and just in time for the F5 marathon tomorrow. So while you are F5ing for the replica, slip over to kickstarter! Every little bit helps. But remember you can also use your print as a dio backdrop for your own little cosplayers...err GIJOEs. Thanks in advance!
