Non G.I. Joe Best of the 80s Custom Project

Flint_rocks · 04-15-2020, 01:47 PM

I decided to try and accomplish something I've wanted since I was a kid and that was to have all of my favorite characters from the epic 80s cartoons in the same scale.

I've decided to make one post to put all of them in as I've posted some before, but they are all scattered now and this way they can just all be in one thread.

I'll update this post in this thread with a group picture or a picture of the new customs, but will post more pictures of the new customs as they are completed just where ever they fall in the thread.

Hopefully, this will be a nice bit of nostalgia for most of us.

If you are an 80s kid then you know it was the greatest time to be a kid and it is mostly due to Reagan deregulating children's programming allowing for what became basically 30 minute toy commercials disguised as cartoons and it was glorious!

Awesome idea man, great to both see them all in one place and to see the ones I've missed. The group shots remind me of a Sataurday morning cartoon promo.

Thanks. I'll post close up pics of each of them and individual pics of team members later. The more I thought about it the more I wanted them all in one thread.
