I would be complete a jerk if I did not provide a shout out to the man who completed this custom by pointing me in the right direction to find a Joe scale kangaroo....the man of the hour....Indiana Joe.
Much thanks! Anyway as most of you know Kangor is an outside the US Cobra character, who is little more than Big Boa with a black helmet and a kangaroo. As some of you may or may not know I want to add characters from other Joe lines and outside the US to my Joeverse / collection BUT I really don't want to just add a direct copy of a character with a new name...plus I just can't afford some of those figures...they can be pretty expensive. Instead I have begun making customs. I try to put a fresh and distinguishing look to the character that somehow honors the original but is no longer the exact same as the US version. With Kangor the obvious destinction was to change his race...which was a pretty controversial move when ROC changed Ripcord's race, and also Repeators race....and also Doc and Dialtone's sex. Basically because it didn't honor the original character...I mean if Darth Vaders armor were suddenly green we'd all probably freak too right? lol Anyway changed his race, kept a black helmet, and his chest straps and FINALLY added the Roo. I think it works. He is... -Night Adder's body...head too painted black. -Firefly's chest straps -Quick kicks sparring gloves. -the Roo comes to us from ebay and is manufactured from Schleich Last edited by Owner of a Lonely B.A.T.; 07-27-2019 at 09:03 PM.. |
