#992 - Snow Job
My first memory of Snow Job comes from the comic book, he, along with a bunch of 1983 Joes, is introduced in issue 11. That issue was one of the few that I had as kid and it shaped my interest in GI Joe. That issue made me want to add Snow Job as well as Airborne to my ranks. At the same time, I remember the ’83 catalog. I stared at it with all the new stuff included in it for hours. I also have a memory of shopping at Miracle Mart (a large department store that no longer exists) with my mom and seeing Snow Job on store pegs. That’s when I decided I wanted the figure for Christmas and my mom had it put aside on layaway (back when stores still did that kind of thing). That year, I got the figure as well as the Polar Battle Bear, the HQ, the Wolverine and a few other figures. It was by far my most bountiful Christmas GI Joe-wise. We got a pretty decent Snow Job figure during the 25th anniversary. I was quite ready to keep that version in my collection if I couldn’t build a better one. Still, I played with parts to see what I could come up with. The MTF head instantly gives the figure some added personality. Surprisingly, I ended up using very few 25th parts to pull this custom off and I’m very happy with the result. Head, goggles, Marauder MTF Torso, upper arms: PoC Frostbite Lower arms: Retaliation Data-Viper Legs: Retaliation Colton Hood, skirt, accessories: 25th Snow Job Scarf: AVAC cast Harness: RoC Dusty

Man, that G.I. Joe issue 11 was like the coolest thing ever! Between the introduction of new characters in the comic and cartoon commercial, there was a mad scramble to collect these figures!
Great custom! Jason |

Wow! I thought the 25th one was very good until I saw this.

It's hard to believe he's a custom, the paint on him looks factory. Excellent job on him.
