Thanks to all
. Makes me happy to share them and see people interested in them, in oringology
. We are going further to the past with each post, before I make pics to the latest customs I made and I post some of the groups I did.
5 more;
TAR 3; (yes, this is the last one :-P ). The third version of the GI Joe robot answer to the BAT. This version is the radioactive bio-hazard purpose, with enhanced systems not to succumb against radiation (severe radioactive radiation can stop robots, as happened in Fukushima). Vital to fight against Toxo Vipers without risking valious operatives, or to contain radioactive material. (those familiar with ToyBiz Spiderman will recognize the weapons
)
Arctic Rock Viper; I had a Rock Viper so yellowed he seemed made for desert warfare, so in order to increase my armies I decided to customize it. I thought that it would be cool to have a Rock Viper just made for completely arctic conditions, to climb ice mountains, and camouflaged as such. Sorry for the pictures, as we are getting to the older customs, in which my photography skills weren't so good.
Cobra Sailor; This is one of my favourites, although one of the oldest, for the sheer simplicity of it. Cobra cannot afford to waste thousands of $ equipping Lampreys everywhere, and the manifest clumsyness of Cobra Troopers in sea duties made necessary a Cobra specification for a Cobra Trooper, with minimum equipment but a specific training in sea-duties. Thus was born the Cobra Sailor!
DIC Metal Head; always loved the character, more by his design than his actions, and only knew it from the cartoon. When I started collecting and got my hands into what sorry excuse could Hasbro produce from Metal Head I was appalled. And so, I had to customize how Metal-Head should have been. I changed the torso for a Lanard torso that was the largest I could find, and resculpted the head and extended his feet.
Desert Trooper; I thought the Green Shirts wouldn't be much good in a desert scenario, and so a Desert Trooper should exist. I tried to choose common pieces to make more afterwards, but never got around to do it. Maybe I should have gone with plainer colours without camo. I think in my Joeverse he will be rebranded as a unique character. Anyway, this was it;
