Yeah, the NES and awesome 80’s toys went hand in hand. Remember quite a few days where I jumped back and forth between playing GI JOE for Nintendo and then going to play with the figures. Funny that now it’s still the same, still run through that game regularly but now it’s customizing or taking pictures of the figures instead of just playing with them.

Haha, Quicksilver is a must have for me, especially since we don’t have our original anymore and I’m sure it’s super pricy to get a vintage one with his chrome intact these days. Definitely in to customize a 3.75” one and for the Super7 Classics one. Haha, yes, him I’ll get, the other eight Thundercats you keep trying to sell me on, NOPE!

Haha, since you inspired me to start going all in on sculpting, glad I could return the favor with the pictures / effects. They really are looking super cool!

That Leaders of the 80’s shot is superb! So great how you have the different sized figures too, really gives them a unique look together, said it before but your knowledge of the Marvel Universe line really helped push this project up to another level.

Bionic 6 was just ahead of its time. Scarab is hilarious and a lot of his jokes are on a more adult level. They are a blended family with adopted children of various races and while that may be mentioned in episodes it is never seen as a negative. The animation is top notch and the stories are great.

Nintendo came in nearing the end of my action figure days so they crossed over some but I moved on from action figures into video games. Just an age thing.

Yeah, prices for vintage Silverhawks is unreal. I think I got my complete collection for around $200 like 9 or 10 years ago. I'm sure I could sell it now for around $1500 to $2000 but have absolutely no desire to do so.

Exactly as you and I have talked about. Same scale doesn't mean everybody is exactly the same size. With Bossfight, Joe, Marauder, Zicatoys, MU we just have such a wide variety of body types to pick from it makes customs stand apart from one another.

Haha I still think you should do the Fonz and the Happy Days gang.

Cool characters, awesome space chick, talking dog, Ralph Malph....what's not to like? Can't beat it.

I still remember you suggesting that and I think it was Dod Ear maybe that said yeah.

I was like this ahole coming in here and making fun of my customs LOL! Then once we talked more I was like no Itch was serious about Fonz.

AAAAYYYEEEE! Super serious about the Fonz. And even more serious about Ralph Malph. Too bad Potsie wasnt in the toon, but you should add Potsie too. The Megos were still available in the 80s so they kinda count.

These are all production quality customs.

Thanks! There are better pictures of each of them individually and in their actual teams throughout the thread or on the first page.

Thanks man I appreciate that!

When GI Joe couldn't handle things in the 80s these groups could have given them a hand or at least when I was a kid in my mind and some of Joes became these guys when I played

Rambo's Force of Freedom, Chuck Norris' Karate Kommandos and the A-Team


And just some cool pictures of the Ultimate Joe Sub-Teams (or at least should have been) Force of Freedom and Karate Kommandos

[Itchweed]

Hey buddy your pics of the "sub-teams" are killer. Looks just like the old catalog inserts that came with the vehicles (figures in the case of Thundercats). They are all so good that I can't pick out a favorite.

How many total customs do you have for this project so far?
