JoeDios - JoeDios Dioramas, Photos, collections, Reviews & Files - Search Results Here the very last of 2010, I overlooked posting; Background; It has passed many years since the government project "Battle Force 2000", where the most advanced weaponry and technology of the time. Now, all this weapons have been already introduced in the regular Gi Joe's, and most of the members have fallen in battle. It has come the time of the Battle Force 3000! Every member of the group carries a suit of a special alloy that makes them invulnerable to laser fire and low caliber guns. Each member carries the most modern, classified, top-of-the-range weaponry and gadgets that makes them a threat to the enemy and to themselves if something goes wrong. The best way to test them? against the Cobra Legions. Strategix Leader and strategist of the group. Double Blow The heavy weapons specialist. Turbo Kill A ex-Laser Viper that has passed onto the Joe side, the tough guy of the group. . Codebreaker the informatic expert of the group. Overrunner; a high speed all-terrain vehicle. Last Chance the second in command and pilot of the Overrunner; Analyzer as his names suggests, the expert on analyzing the battlefield and doing reconnaisance. .

Many thanks . A few more, and I am getting to the end of what I have pictured!
Here is the Cobra Empress, to be the queen of the new Cobra Empire! I saw the preproduction drawings of Hasbro, for a sort of Cobra Empress that in theory derived into Pythona. I saw them as very cool, and so I tried my luck with a cheap ROC baroness WIP before painting; Here it is Mayday, a comic character that was at the point of being released in GI Joe vs Cobra, but others were chosen instead. At the time I didn't know about the GI Joe extreme character of the same name! And finally, here are my most recent customs. With this, I will have posted all my pictured customs here on Hisstank, now I need to make pictures of 20 odd customs that I've never had the time to take pics, and a few I swear I took pics of them but cannot find them in my barrage of folders. Wolf; the villainous Wolf is the main henchman of Tarantula, a villain that appeared in Stormforce, a UK comic strip created to substitute Action Force when Hasbro bought the rights to it. As such, is very GI Joe-Cobraesque, and makes for wonderful 80s read. Tarantula rose to such popularity that had it's own personal comic strip inside the Battle with Stormforce magazine. And finally, here is Mato-Grosso, mercenary for hire in Brazil, hired alternatively by Cobra Brazil, Shadowloo not excluding other gangs and freelance works . He comes with false plant camouflage, automatic cannon, and dna-altered carnivorous plant he uses as trap. Sculpted within him is sound system on his chest, to confuse enemy with various sounds, and hand flamethrower. Inspired by the early 90s Joe figures that came with all sorts of large accesories, like Incinerator, Firefly, Cobra commander with his plane, etc.

Hello all, after some hiatus I come back with more joe-goodness . Hope you like them;
Alas; I was always fascinated by the comicbook filecards, showing me Joes I never knew nor saw! with time, I went identifying them, but some simply didn't ring any bell nor matched the figures. I realized later, as my comicbooks were in Spanish, that the filecard for "Alas" (wings in spanish) corresponded to Airborne! I could see no similarity between the figure or cartoon with the illustration! it is so bizarre, that when I came over it again, I decided to do a custom of him in it's honour. In my opinion, the old ARAH figure is nice, but doesn't look at all to have red indian descent, hence in my joeverse, that is left out and is given to Alas, a new Joe. I chose a 25th body, even if I don't usually, as was the only one that could give me the thin and tall look of the illustration. SOS; this is a custom that started as a simply partswap, and decided to improve it and upgrade it with a repainted Corps head, which are really wonderful, by the way.

Many thanks . Itchweed, yes, they were very cool. I plan on someday maybe doing a ARAH Lift-Ticket (it appeared in gray, and was called Aspas (which translates as blades) and maybe an Ace, which looks like a winner and an astronaut, as I always thought the vintage one looked kinda puny).
One more; Headhunter Stormtrooper; before this, I had only done 1 custom as a paid commission, for a friend in a forum. I started properly customizing joes, and then made a few customs for sale of Marvel and DC, which brought other commissions, but just last year a collector's who collects MOTUC also asked me for this. So I did them, first modern joe commission. The Headhunter is one of the few vintage Joes I am lacking! I toyed with the idea of buying one just to cast some parts, but saw it's ridiculous prices so I had to pass on the idea (I'll get it someday, damn!). This is one of those characters that changes a lot from blister artwork to figure, I based on the vintage figure as asked, but took some inspiration from the artwork, as some things if not would look plain silly in 25th form. Doing so many small spikes was a challenge!
