WOW! My first impression was that it looks like the cartoon version, but then I realized that he REALLY feels like the Russ Heath art from "The Commander Escapes" issue of GI Joe (my all time favorite art- wise)! This thing looks awesome! I always wait for the page to load with held breathe when I see Amaro on the thread- this didn't disapoint! It' s just great!
P.S I seem to remember hearing that Russ Heath did the designs for the cartoon- so that may be why this reminds me of both. |

Thanks again for the love!
G.I.Eddie - I'm not very strong at casting. I can do it, but I have not mastered the technique. Shin-Gouki - Hasbro you listening? ;) SgtSlaughter - My next project is to resculpt the heads for Tomax and Xamot. From what I have seen, I'm not sure I'm 100% happy with the heads sculpts. I want them to look more like the cartoon just without the mullets. I also thought about making a Mecha for the Joes as they need the help. Between Serpent O.R. and the S.N.A.K.E. My Joes are in trouble. Their base was destroyed the last week...Okay so I'm 33 and I play with my toys, so? I have a degree in art, I'm married and work in the toy industry, so I think it's acceptable and or required. Artists are suppose to be eccentric right? I was thinking of making a Joe-Bot. But using an original design rather than following the comic this time. The comic Joe-Bots where too Gundam like. I want them more TF like. I want them to look more like the Star Wars TF. You know where the robot mode resembles the human character. I was thinking more of a robot Joe soldier. The head would have the TF face with a Joe helmet. Not sure. Miked - Cool info I'm going to look up Russ Heath. the_loud_master - The smile is creepy. He looks creepy on the card art, especially with psycho eyebrows. But I like it. He looks like a Bad-Arse. |

Man, that's what Hasbro's Duke should have looked like! Excellent job of nailing his All-American boy looks!

Inspired by your awesome Mr. T, I went back and looked for some of your older customs-- wanted to say, this Duke's head rocks. If the production Dukes had this head, I would actually kinda sorta not hate Duke as much as I do. Trust me, that's golden praise coming from me.
