Yo Joe!
RAY PARK owns one of our hisstank pins! #143 YOUR WELCOME RAY!!!!!!! and THANK YOU!
For a while now, there has been yammer along the ranks of custom art pins. Well after pulling teeth, phone conversations, a half dozen different places, which I've had talk to the big Heads. ABout a month of planning, ripping it down and rebuilding... Finally started to show some fruits of the labor of love. First saw the beret with Hawk, in a preview. When I had originally created an idea to go along with the RoC movie flash worn by General Hawk in Rise of Cobra.. the wheels started to turn.
I wanted one for myself, but didn't know how to go about it. So I searched high and low from every corner of the net and personal references I could find, to find one company who passed. But there was a catch... Now I needed two of these one faction was for a girl who was dying of cancer... she now smiles cause she has her cobra pin and her joe pin.. she wears both of them proudly for a cancer trooper who's time runs short.
Now I have my pin... and this girl to take care of... Only way I could get them done was in mass quanity! Great now what?
Ok ... Fast Forward present day and a month of sundays. People piled in from every spot to think of to get these pins from me. Well Time has come for a review on the long antisipated item for Exclusives... The Hisstank Faction pin exclusive!
First up... The Eagle.
Taken from the flash that dawns Hawks Beret.. Is this idea. A solid brass shield with a nice deep engravement, then elctro-coated in rich beautiful 14kt Gold, then sealed and protected. Along with it a deep and beautiful ebony enamal to highlight the star and eagle.
The back having a diamond plate look, for added grip. while two 8mm posts provide extra support to hold this pin to a beret like the film used one. The texture and finish of this pin.. very nice.
Rating- a 9 of 10.
It passes this Joe fan's expectations. in a lot of areas.
Yo Joe!
