We recently started a project at our home...
I found the find your fate books that I loved as a kid. My son asked if we could make our own figures based on the line of find your fate book GI Joe team members. We went about the process from the perspective that these guys are the dudes hanging out down on level 5 waiting to be called up to help the joes. There is supposed to be an elevated green shirt feel to these guys ala Ms. Paige "Mayday" Adams. Some of the more creative characters from the books would be: Commando- spy mission leader* Spider- Electronics expert trained by Snake Eyes Dog Ear Presto- espionage specialist "operation: deadly decoy" presto change-o. Zapper- electronics "operation thunderbolt Wiseguy- Strategy Specialist "operation: star raider" Hot shot- bomb unit Break-In- security specialist "operation: death ray Lightning- master tactician "operation: jungle doom" Genius- master strategist "operation: time machine" Headset- hypnotist and anti-mind control techniques "operation' poison dart" There are quite a few books, with talented team members we never really got to "know". * Last edited by Rage1251; 09-12-2012 at 01:26 AM.. |

Cool! Those are pretty creative. I never read those as a kid, but it'd be cool to read them now.

Honestly they still are a lot of fun.
Basically you are in charge of a group of joes.....at times Duke, Flint or Hawk defer to you in the book.....as a kid I thought it was so cool to tell hawk and duke what to do. My son spent all summer pouring over the books. We have a couple more done...just need to get them pictured and uploaded. |

I had these, the Indiana Jones and a Star Trek. Loved these books as a kid. I was fun to come up with as many diffrent ways to do the story. I even tried adding more to the story with diffrent out comes. That didn't work to well.
