All proceeds go to charity! Please read below. Here is the Ebay link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/110893942111...84.m1555.l2649 You are bidding on a custom 25th G. I. Joe action figure, "Dead Fred VII" from Larry Hama's Marvel G. I. Joe series comic, #91 (Fred had died in issue #32), as well as the cardboard box-painted diarama! My 10 year old son completed this custom job, COMPLETELY on his own! He told me he wanted to do this figure; I doubted he could make it come to fruition, but I was wrong. I ended up trading him a black Retaliation CC for his first version (his 1st custom! Yeah--so proud!)... So, why is it up for auction, then? Well, it's his 2nd attempt. You see, our church motivated us to be a part of the "Nehemiah Project." This project was based on Nehemiah's encouragement of the Israelites to use the skills/strengths/interests they had to rebuild the Jerusalem wall, trusting in God to bless the job. So, our church gave everyone in the congregation $5 and challenged us to use our skills/strengths/interests to multiply that $5. The proceeds go to help a local organization (Hospitality House--providing food/clothing to those who struggle economically), a metro Detroit area church (St. Paul in Pontiac, helping people inside and outside the church to learn about Christ and help with their basic needs), as well as an international church (Pastor Daniel's church in India). For more information, check out this link: The Nehemiah Project | Sermon Series | St. Matthew Lutheran Church | Walled Lake and Wixom, MI My son and I pooled our $5 together and purchased a 25th 2-pack Tunnel Rat figure. My son used a red variant packaged ROC Cobra Commander head, and we switched hands with another figure. After painting the figure, including bone structure on the arms and skull, and adding a bit of "dirt," seeing as how Fred had been lying behind the waterfall for some time, the figure was done! The diarama is simply a cut shoebox, painted to show the waterfall, as well as the rocky wall, including the inscription, "Here lies Fred. No matter what he did in life, he died well." The rock that the figure's head lays on is also included. This may not be YOUR son--so maybe some of the luster is lost for you--but look at this way: You are supporting not only a great cause, but also helping to encourage another generation of Joe fans that will hopefully help us reach the 50th anniversary of 3 3/4" figures. Shipping is $5.00, but FREE if we hit $30.00 +
