Thanks for the super high praise buddy! XD Your continuous support of this thread & the inspirational photos are very much appreciated!

Another fantastic batch! Really love the Sunbow inspired figures. Also, the MTF Exo Suit looks terrific for Star Brigade Destro. Way cooler than the original figure.

#271. DEAD EYE (FLASHBACK VERSION) (based on GI Joe Snake Eyes - Sunbow M.A.S.S. Device mini-series)
Marauder Task Force
Flashback Version/Version 3
Origin: USA
Season 6

Inspired by the Super7 Ultimate version & pushed by the great rendition done by the mighty Mr Hebime, (from which I borrowed using the WWII shoes from directly, ;-) ), making this version of Snake Eyes was a must. I think the M.A.S.S. Device is Sunbow Joe (& Sunbow Snake Eyes) at it's best. I tried to copy the animation model as closely as I could within MTF, & added some finishing touches like the Sunbow-colored laser rifle. This ended up being a fun build with some pretty good oldskool cartoon accuracy!

KANAGAWA reflects on his retired master DEAD EYE and how he inspired him down the right path. Many stories have been told about his legend over the years. Some remember him best as an American hero mute ninja master, others as a brave commando that risked his life for his Team after becoming radioactive in the arctic. But all will agree that there will never be another one like him. Shown imagery of DEAD EYE'S early attire, KANAGAWA modeled his current costume aboard the Mobile Command Center after his master's to mimic the beginning of his journey and eventual rise to greatness.

Oh good grief thIs is brilliant. Always love your stuff, but this is so great can’t believe Marauder didn’t think of this as a geared up figure.

Thank you for the high praise! Super7 & Mr. H helped inspire me to build this version! He's been the winner this round! He is the most popular of the bunch on social media (followed closely by the Star Brigade Destro homage). Sometimes I think MGR is just hesitant to touch Joe's all star, as they have never done an SE "Geared-Up" figure yet!

Whoah… those are all badazz dude, BADAZZ!!!

Destro looks mean as hell, Flint, Treadmark, Dead Eye, fricking cool…. And that Zombie Hunter Chic, love it, so need to see that film, planned too awhile back, awesome bro, superb!

Thanks buddy! Your enthusiasm for this thread is always very much appreciated! Borrow away! I'm always thankful that you like my non-Joe character builds so much! =)

MORE to come!!!!!...

Loving the continuation of the War Machine group! Snake Eyes looks bad ass! The knee pads on that sculpt (doubling as shoulder pads) really give that a different look than the other Snake Eyes I’ve seen or put together with Marauder parts. Love those ideas you throw in there.

Storm Shadow looks great with the flat vest and the skirt piece to break up the sculpt.

That Duke is fantastic! Love that head and then really cool look with the t shirt, clothe legs and thicker vest.

But Robo-Joe.....he was awesome! Haha, loved him as a kid! Using a damaged Arnold T2 head for him is brilliant! Never would have thought of that! He’s been built but not finished on my shelf but never would have thought about using that head for him. Love how you broke up the colors by swapping between a few different exo suits.

The Elita is spot on because before I saw the bio I was wondering if that’s who it was going to be a homage to. Really loving that head, perfect for the homage and your built. Still need to see that movie.

Lmao, great minds because I wanted to do Toon snake eyes the second I saw that Super7 figure as well! Spectacular job on him, love the Marauder purple to give him that coloring. So cool.

Such a badass Flint And I never noticed we keep getting black shirted Flints.....now I’m gonna need to make a toon accurate one down the road. Haha. Super cool with the parts used.

Excellent take on Skidmark! Love that you tackled them both now with your Sgt Savage guy. I really need to get some bandannas to use on the legs of some of my guys. Always love that look you do.

Star Brigade Destro! Haha. Hitting all of my childhood favorites! Another I have had unfinished forever. Again, love splitting up all of the different exo suits to get just the perfect look for the original figure. Then really smart idea to use the BF chrome head for him, might be an idea I borrow if the bald chrome head isn’t the one I use for a custom I’m planning to do at some point.

Rica looks great as well! Always enjoy seeing you tackle characters from the gory movies that you love. Always leads to a fun build and some cool pics. Plus movies I never heard of. Haha.

As always, super impressed with how you just continue to pump these unique ideas out at such a rapid pace! Pics, write ups and the conversation are always fun as well! Looking forward to the next batch!
