The weathering on Iceberg is great and the CC is a wonderful homage to the original.

The Iceberg build is really inventive, love what you did with the HAT and colors, really cool (pun intended lol) & CC is among the BEST CC customs I have ever seen, the perfect paint really makes him a winner!

Thanks! I appreciate it! Thanks, yeah, remember staring at that Commander in Kay-Bee all the time but never had money to get him. So cool to finally have in my collection. Quote:
Hit & Run, WOW!
Only took me a good hour i think to get through and look at everything dude, awesome work on all of it! Not one custom figure that isn’t beautiful, love them all, even the Battle Corps, you made Battle Corps cool again! Loving the Destro’s, especially the axe version one, Wet-Suit in his black gear looks mean, great stuff, Headhunters, Action Man, Mercer, lovin’ how you did him up! All them Ninja’s, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Hit & Run of course, epic custom! ;) International Action Force guys, etc etc etc, so much goodness! I’d be writing you a book if I commented on every single custom here, truly epic work and appreciate all the time you have spent on these, lovin’ me some Tiger Force too, excellent Beachead especially, Headhunter Stormtrooper as well is pretty epic! All your different Vipers, its endless here, truly fantastic work, looking forward to see even more of it, that is if you haven’t run out of ideas ha ha, so much here the mind boggles, excellent stuff man, don’t have the words to give it all justice! ;) Forgot to say about Super Trooper, always one of my favorite GI Joe/Action Force, love what you did with him, fantastic! Did a Super Trooper myself from a spare Marauder figure didn’t know what to do with, camo one, but yours, love the cocktail of the build to it, great work! Loving the index page pics on page one too, very unique and useful! Lee ![]() So just a ton of my all time favorites in here, some real labors of love and some that became new favorites as I worked on my versions or took pictures. Awesome to hear that you enjoyed the deep dive through the thread and glad you also like the index! Haha, I’m always looking at that thing to revisit some of my older customs, photoshoots or comments people left. Quote:

Appreciate that! Always loved this Cobra Commander design and color scheme so once I realized I wouldn’t get an official version, I knew I was gonna have to make my own! One of my favorites to look at on the shelf.

Hit & Run buddy, again awesome work dude, yeah I was late to the party when it came to the collectors club FSS stuff, was on pause for a good few years around that period, wish I got them then, the prices are a joke now lol, I blame Hasbo for making Chap-Mei type quality with their Joes for a long time before that, that kinda stopped me collecting anymore for a good time and me being deep into Marvel & DC (mainly) 6 inch figures didn’t help, yeah stopped that really now though, missed buying vehicles and 6 inch figures take up too much room haha!
![]() Anyways, keep up the great work and looking forward to what comes up next man! Lee.

Thanks, I appreciate it! Have some new parts coming so hoping that gets me motivated making a custom or two again. Been on the sideline for a bit now.
I was all in on the Club stuff, for better or worse. Good that I avoided the crazy prices, bad because the quality isn’t always the greatest. Haha. I appreciate most of the guys they got us though and even with the high prices they are pulling, I find it hard to part with them. Only a few that I felt the need to outright make a better version of so that’s always nice. Worked out well paired with Marauder coming out because it made it a lot easier to tweak and improve some of the Club offerings. Oh, 6” is a rabbit hole! I got sucked in a bit with Marvel & Star Wars. Very much trying to almost completely avoid it with Joe. So far just have the one Cobra Commander.

Cool, I’m waiting on new parts too, Marauder Gun Runners is well behind lately with orders, but its worth the wait, hopefully they’ll sort that out anyways!
Yeah, I feel ya, with me I got the paints (well most of ‘em I need), but lost my decent favorite model paint brush so waiting on a set thats stopped me pretty much finishing off some customs with a paint job, its a nightmare using a crappy brush, that so far I have had to use for a few touch ups and stuff lol. Yup, even though I had the pause period I doubt I would of bought mega loads of club or convention stuff even then as I’m over the Atlantic Ocean it gets pretty pricey on shipping and that thing called friggin’ customs, tell you it sucks! ![]() Yeah, Marauders is a godsend, makes things a lot easier for us Joe customisers that’s for sure! I know that rabbit hole lol, damn if Classifieds came out when I was collecting that scale I would of lost it, though again, wouldn’t of liked the way Hasbro has handled the Classified line that’s for sure, made it a complete nightmare for them collectors! Was going to buy the first figure that came out from Hasbro online but found out they don’t accept international so gave up, that was Snake Eyes of course, shame wanted him. Never ever got into the 6 inch Black Series SW, though I do collect the odd 3:75 Star Wars figures here and there as that scale was what got me started in action figures to begin with, Star Wars and Action Force (GI Joe). I’m tempted to get a couple Classifieds to do a couple of customs, maybe lol. Well hope you get motivated when you get your stuff Hit! Lee.
