NEW RECRUITS!!!!!
WAVE 101: 501. PATHFINDER (based on 1990 G.I. Joe ARAH "Pathfinder") G.I. Joe Origin: USA 'NAM 19XX Pathfinder here would have made the perfect fit for the previous 500th figure "90's wave," but we needed a "Jinx" (as per all 100th figures in this thread) in that spot instead, so... Pathfinder lands at #501 lol. I haven't built a version of Pathfinder since I did the gray 2001 version back in 2020, & one day just had an light bulb go off as to what parts would make for a great "version 1." We had this version of Pathfinder growing up & due to his prominence in the DIC series he got some good play time, so I was happy to revisit him again. He's similar to my first build but did a couple things differently (like the head, vest, dress shirt, & clipped ammo belts...) BIO: (*Official GI Joe bio+) By growing up in the alligator-infested swamplands of southern Florida, PATHFINDER quickly learned how to find his way around in order to stay alive! With his father's help, Pathfinder mastered the ways of jungle survival. He learned how to make trails where there were none, to detect unnatural jungle sounds, and to attack unsuspecting targets swiftly and quietly. When he was eighteen, Pathfinder enlisted in the Army and began a career as a jungle recon specialist. Almost immediately, he became the Army's premiere jungle/rain forest tactical assault expert. Pathfinder was then ordered to serve as G.I. Joe's jungle assault specialist where he is now responsible for all covert operations involving attacks on Crimson Moon's 'Nam command bunkers!

502. BACKBLAST (based on 2005 G.I. Joe VvV "Backblast" Winter Operations box set)
G.I. Joe Origin: USA 'NAM 19XX Seems to me like there are 2 guys named Backblast, the first 2 versions (Hispanic? looking sleeveless guy), & the second two versions (paranoid looking sleeved guy.) This version is based after the 2nd version, specifically the BF2K Avalanche repaint, because I love that Avalanche figure I built so why wouldn't I want to do that again lol. Some differences like the head, forearms, lower legs, & weapon... Seems the original didn't come with the head mic, but my version does (the OG also has very faint camo on the legs). I now have done 3 of the 6 figures in the "2005 Winter Operations" set, wonder if I'll get to the other 3? =) BIO: (*Official GI Joe bio+) Backblast's primary military specialty is air defense, & his secondary military specialty is signal corps. He grew up in a house next to one of the most popular airports in the world. His bedroom was directly under the landing path of incoming jets. When asked his job preferences upon his enlistment, he answered, "Where can I go to shoot airplanes out of the sky?" Being a part of the "Winter Operations Team," with the likes of TRACKER & AVALANCHE (who he borrowed some gear from), is an all new challenge for him, but if CRIMSON MOON attacks from the sky, he has his winter team covered!

503. BERSERKER
Crimson Moon Origin: Scandinavia/Crimson Moon Labs 'NAM 19XX *MTF "Geared-Up" figure+ I thought this one was a cool MGR "Geared Up" offering, with the Skeletron Skeledrone head, heavy weapon selection, Cyborg forearms and a "worn & damaged" Battle Skirt from JCC (Josh's Custom Capes). No changes except making sure all of the ports had plugs, & he was fun to put together... BIO: BERSERKER is a defiant CRIMSON MOON trooper originally from Scandinavia that was experimented on with SKELETRON technology. He has been known to go frenzied into battle & be near invulnerable to damage with his enhancements. Now, he hunts the WINTER OPERATIONS TEAM approaching the CRIMSON MOON secret labs in Germany, bringing with him an array of brutal weapons, and a savage ferocity, the JOES won't know what hit them in the snow when CRIMSON MOON'S BERSERKER arrives! |

504. PAYLOAD (based on 1993 G.I. Joe Star Brigade "Payload")
G.I. Joe Origin: USA 'NAM 19XX Back when I first started this thread, I went through my childhood collection of Joes, & put a bunch of obscurities in a bag & brought them to my "build" center. Payload was among the alumni (in perfect shape, being a later year Joe), but was hard to figure out a convincing recipe for him back in 2017... Fast forward to 2024 & I had a lot of fun cracking the code for him with the current catalog & using Avac's for the final touches! Really love this one & you can expect the same build for an upcoming '92 BBQ! BIO: (*Official GI Joe bio+) PAYLOAD grew up watching the early space shots blasting off through the Florida sky. He stared through the hurricane fence and rode that flaming booster in his dreams. But unlike others, he worked on making that dream a reality by joining the Air Force. He flew F-4 Phantoms over southeast Asia for three tours "just paying his dues" and upon his return stateside, signed up for the astronaut training program. Now on his first mission with G.I. JOE, PAYLOAD will rocket into space and face the mysterious CRIMSON MOON terrorists & the horrifying ROBOSKULL space craft! Last edited by Steel Brigade; Yesterday at 10:57 PM.. |

505. JINX (RED HOOD VERSION) (based on 2024 A.I. art for G.I. Joe "Jinx")
Marauder Task Force (affiliate) Origin: Japan Season 10 AKA: YAKU When developing the 500th figure, I worked on 2 versions of Jinx, the "Motorcycle Jinx" & the "A.I. Jinx," ...when I chose the "Motorcycle" version, for the 500th, I wasn't going to leave this other one just hanging around for a lot of future waves, as I have another figure already built that shares similarities with the two Jinx's, who is also waiting in the wings. Anyway, I liked this A.I. art for Jinx I saw on Twitter, & used MGR/BossFight stuff for the basic build, which also gave me the chance to use the "Kathy-Jo" head in a cool red hood to strongly replicate the art, (Avac's made the red hood for me to complete the specific look!) BIO: With JINX'S newly forged identity, she found her way back to the MTF again as an affiliate, doing undercover street work on the ATLANTIS Battle City Platform, by both becoming a part of their underground scene, living among the occupants as a friend... & being a secret street fighting champion! In her search for alleged illegal info among ATLANTIS' underground, sometimes fists speak louder then words, & JINX is known as the best! Sometimes in underground fights she's called the "RED HOOD," the "STREET HOOD," or the "RED JINX," as she is a master of martial arts, often leveling opponents twice her size, with her signature look, & making a reputation for herself as the strongest on the streets!

I gotta echo axs sentiment. That pathfinder is awesome. Love the idea of him using contactless triggers. Winter backblast is also cool (no pun intended) but that berserker…….thats some incredible detailing. Id buy that in a heartbeat.
