I thought the same thing, the color from the factory is pretty sad. It kinda makes me worry that they are going the same direction they went in the 90's with these crazy colors on things.
Here is my version... |

Some people didn't seem to realize that you have to put on the stickers yourself. Sure the Hasbro pictures will have ninja markings all over it but how hard is it to not put a sticker on? I think some people were upset that the driver lacks articulation. Yea that's a bummer but either put the head on an articulated figure or just have another Joe drive the thing. It's not like GI Joe is lacking in characters who could drive it. The lack of a spare tire and extra weapons might have put some people off, but while it would be nice to have the lack of spare tire on the back really doesn't hurt the vehicle. I guess I'm just used to the vintage vehicles so the lack of extra weapons for the weapon ports is no big deal. To me the Ninja Combat Cruiser is one of the best things from the movie line to hit retail. Hasbro might have did a few things to save money, but after repainting it I feel like I got more than my money's worth on it. |

Finally got one and I'm going with the desert MRAP look.
It will look good next to my H2 Hummer. |

Saw one of these at TRU today. I stood there in the aisle thinking how stupid this thing is like i have done a hundred times before. After seeing yours, im going back to get it tomorrow and stopping to get some black fusion on the way home.

These things are cool, especially for custom artists, you can do a number of awesome things to the vehicle. Great job on the paints here fellas.

Thanks for the positive comments. Ended up doing 3 of these, night ops, desert, and the last I tried to replicate the artwork on the box....what it shoud have looked like. Was a a lot of fun doing a simple customization. Be a long time before I try something on your level. Your TF crossovers are amazing.

I wondered what everyone kept saying about painting the headlights, and then I get to the last post and see that they are updated photos. I was thinking, "man, tough crowd, those headlights look good to me".
I haven't put a windshield in mine yet, I can't decide how I want the frame for it to look, but I used clear plastic from the bubbles on figures or sometimes thicker stuff from other packages for windows, windshields and the like. |

If your looking for a good wind shield and have a Hobby Lobby near by, they sell good sized sheets of clear plastic. You can actually get them online here too.
