Thanks! Those were two important ones for me to get done right because we didn’t really get anything close to representing them from Hasbro or the Club. So cool finally seeing them next to the original figures.

Thanks, yeah, remember staring at that Commander in Kay-Bee all the time but never had money to get him. So cool to finally have in my collection.

Only took me a good hour i think to get through and look at everything dude, awesome work on all of it! Not one custom figure that isn’t beautiful, love them all, even the Battle Corps, you made Battle Corps cool again!
Loving the Destro’s, especially the axe version one, Wet-Suit in his black gear looks mean, great stuff, Headhunters, Action Man, Mercer, lovin’ how you did him up! All them Ninja’s, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Hit & Run of course, epic custom! ;) International Action Force guys, etc etc etc, so much goodness!
I’d be writing you a book if I commented on every single custom here, truly epic work and appreciate all the time you have spent on these, lovin’ me some Tiger Force too, excellent Beachead especially, Headhunter Stormtrooper as well is pretty epic! All your different Vipers, its endless here, truly fantastic work, looking forward to see even more of it, that is if you haven’t run out of ideas ha ha, so much here the mind boggles, excellent stuff man, don’t have the words to give it all justice! ;)
Forgot to say about Super Trooper, always one of my favorite GI Joe/Action Force, love what you did with him, fantastic! Did a Super Trooper myself from a spare Marauder figure didn’t know what to do with, camo one, but yours, love the cocktail of the build to it, great work!
Loving the index page pics on page one too, very unique and useful!

Thank you so much! So many of the original figures meant a lot to me growing up and when Hasbro & and the Club both pretty much moved on from finishing the full 82-94 ARAH run, I just kind of got bummed out that I wouldn’t have so many of my favorites in my modern collection. Then I started customizing and....haha, I made so many more figures than I ever would have expected!
So just a ton of my all time favorites in here, some real labors of love and some that became new favorites as I worked on my versions or took pictures. Awesome to hear that you enjoyed the deep dive through the thread and glad you also like the index! Haha, I’m always looking at that thing to revisit some of my older customs, photoshoots or comments people left.

Well excited builds. Paints? Great. Concepts, although similar to the OG, it’s always rad to see customizers flair, in which you did .
Great work all around !
Appreciate it! Cobra Commander was a fairly simple one to get together but I was so nervous that the Iceberg wasn’t going to work and I’d have spent all that time & paint covering up tan with white. Haha, always nice to hear that those more involved customs are hits!

Thanks! Iceberg was such a time consuming paint job but it was well worth the effort! Then the Cobra Commander I love how close I got to the original colors just going off pictures. So fun to see them side by side finally.

Thanks! Iceberg was one of those that I sent the build to my brother unpainted and I didn’t get a response back. Haha, I was like, okay, he doesn’t have much faith in me pulling off this one! As soon as the paint started going down we both knew it could be pretty awesome. So much happier with this as my main Iceberg on the Joe shelf. The Club one was killing me!
Appreciate that! Always loved this Cobra Commander design and color scheme so once I realized I wouldn’t get an official version, I knew I was gonna have to make my own! One of my favorites to look at on the shelf.
