I've had these customs done for sometime. I had a huge diostory planned for these. I currently have all of these listed for sale in my BST but I wanted to show them off here before I got ride of them. And heck... Since I won't ever get around to doing my diostory, I thought I'd tell a bit about that here too.
My story had nothing to do with the horrible ROC universe. Channing Tatum Duke, Wayans Brother Ripcord and Third Rock Cobra Commander do not exist in my Joeverse. I just really liked the Blueish Camo look and the Black body armor. Plus when all those ROC figures went on clearance, they were super cheap to come by and cheap to customize! So my Joe verse takes place in real time. For example, 1982 joes Steeler, Clutch, Grandslam, Ect all joined GI Joe in 1982. 83 Joes like Cover Girl, Wild Bill, Doc ect joined in 83. So on and so on. In my Joeverse Cobra was defeated around 1994 (not coincidentally the same year the original RAH line was canceled). The joe team was not completely disbanded but was largely downsized for a time. Eventually other Terrorist threats developed (Like the Red Shadows and the Black Dragons) and the Joe team was once again expanded. My Dio was going to take place in present day. 2009 or 2010. Most of the Original Joes have retired from the team or moved on to other roles. However a few remain. For example Falcon is now been prompted to Colonel and is the supreme commander of GI Joe. Shipwreck is still hanging around. Snake Eyes would have been revealed to have an ulta secret team of which Recondo would have been on. Other former Joes would have held non Joe team roles but would have poped up from time to time. Duke was going to be a US Senator. As for the rest of the Joe team, I built it in a very specific way. I used a simple rule. Any character that was created for the joe toy line or comic books after 1994 was fair game to be used in my dio. I tried to pull every character I could find from the ARAH line, New Sculpt, DTC, New characters from 25th, ROC, Devils Due Characters, GI Joe Reloaded, and I even created several of my own. I ended up with a fairly large group of Joes. WHat you see below is most of them. I had several others that were more LBC and I was able to convert them back. I will be listing them as complete figures. If you guys are interested I can get in to the details of the story. I plotted out about 10 parts to my Dio. Let me know if you care. If you do I'll post!

These are cool, i like how you used different Joe characters that dont get used as much as 1982-1987 Joes. Stone is cool with his patch and cyborg arm. Falcon as a Colonel is cool. Its a shame you never managed to complete your dio story, it sounds interesting.

Nice work. Only good thing about the Movie was their uniformity.
What heads did you use for Hi Tech, Firewall, and Mayday?
