Thanks to HISSTANK.com boards member Whargoul44 for posting up his create a con Joecon Tiger Force vs Cobra Jungle Force Project!
“In the spirit of past custom group projects across the internets, I took on a “Create a Joecon Set” project. I’ve tried my best to duplicate the typical Joecon exclusive offerings; Boxed Set, Free Attending Toy, Two Pack, Three Pack, etc. As my first few figures were Tiger Force, I went with a TF vs Cobra Jungle Force set and in keeping with the Collector’s Club practices”Check out all the G.I. Joe Tiger Force and Jungle Force custom images after the jump.
Whargoul44 says
So this project started off as a simple repaint of a couple of 50th Joes I had extra of and took on a life of itself and snowballed into something much, much larger.
In the spirit of past custom group projects across the internets, I took on a "Create a Joecon Set" project. I've tried my best to duplicate the typical Joecon exclusive offerings; Boxed Set, Free Attending Toy, Two Pack, Three Pack, etc. As my first few figures were Tiger Force, I went with a TF vs Cobra Jungle Force set and in keeping with the Collector's Club practices, I'm going to be "revealing" one item per day.
As always, thanks for looking and let me know what you think.
GI Joe Convention 201X: Operation Banana Split (The Liberation of Sierra Gordo)
Memo from General Hawk
In the long history of political unrest in the South American country of Sierra Gordo, Cobra has once again backed the NABM (North American Banana Monopoly) in their funding of a violent revolution which has placed Cobra as the new ruling government. At the request of the officially elected President of Sierra Gordo the GI Joe team is being sent in to assist once again with the overthrow of Cobra and the liberation of a nation. For this mission, the Tiger Force team will be sent in to neighboring Punta Del Mucosa where they will make a covert approach through the jungle to systematically remove all Cobra forces.
Good luck Joes,
General Clayton "Hawk" Abernathy
