This little project started when I found a Ret Wave 1 Snake Eyes at Wal-Mart for $6. I wasn't really keen on the figure, but thought I could use some parts for a custom. A few days later I picked up a Ninja Combat Cruiser and threw the Night Fox vest on Snake Eyes and after searching Yo Joe I found the VvV TRU 6 pack Desert Patrol Squad. After doing Snakes, I liked the look so did a few more. They're not all characters from the original set, but I wanted to follow the original theme of chocolate chip camo pants with a green top/vest. Using pretty much spare parts I made the team: Snake Eyes, Dusty, Beachhead and Steel Brigade Trooper. Let me know what you think.
Original set: Snake Eyes (v21) G.I. Joe Action Figure - YoJoe Archive Group Shot: Group by ncwargo, on Flickr

every one of these figures look amazing, I would buy these immediately if I saw them in retail. The concept and paint looks incredible. Steel Brigade is my favorite and Snake Eyes is a close second.
