Nice upgrades with the Spartan shrinks my man, those fresh toppers with your paint make those Joes from years ago all new again!

YO JOE!

Thanks guys! The 25th line looks very dated now, but since the first figures came out in 2007 I suppose it should show its age some. I still think some of the sculpts are solid and hold up okay and others just need a complete redo.

I actually always liked Dr. Mindbender. I liked the character in the cartoon and I had the vintage figure growing up so he always seemed to make it into whatever story I was playing with my Joes. Probably had something to do with the Serpentor episodes and the fact he was behind creating him. I was happy we got a figure of him in the 25th line but it was pretty bad. Finally after years of looking at it, I decided to try and make a Dr. Mindbender I was content with.

I used mostly Bossfight parts, headcast of the arctic Mindbender and the harness and cape of the 25th.

Dr Mindbender looks amazing sir!

And I like that headsculpt version of Indy that u used better than the one I used recently with mine. I actually have it but the brim broke haha

Love the evil Cobra Scientist! Great update from top to bottom! FenderBender is a hit!

Thanks. I recall seeing the original custom and then you posting the broken brim. I think the use of the different head on yours makes it stand out. You're the only person I've seen use the version.

I appreciate it. I'm finally content with him now.

So much better than the chicken legged POS we got back in the day. It never had those definitive details that you added here. Awesome!

Thanks. Yeah that figure was terrible I mean how did they not give him his silver crotch protector.

Speaking of Serpentor. The sculpt on the 25th figure was actually pretty good but needed an updated paint job.

Serpentor

With his "creator"
