Yeah, I was surprised that it looks like he's actually dropping down. Still I need to make a photo set up, maybe get a camera or a better phone. I'm trying to find time to take pics of some Dreadnoks for my other JoyToy thread, but I've only gotten to Zanya. I'm really liking what some others like IIIzoeIII are doing with JoyToy. I'm hoping JoyToy will get more footing to be more comparable in price to Marauders. I also love the work others are doing with Marauders, like Steel Brigade, I just don't have good access to those here and I'm a little afraid of how they'd scale with my current stuff. But seeing has how I don't have any of those figures (other than K-9s I use as wolves for Snake Eyes) I could be wrong.

That is a freakin awesome Snake Eyes! I wish joytoy would just start making 3rd party Joes, like so many other companies do with Transformers.

Great Snake Eyes. I wish they would push Snake Eyes's design a little and come up with something like this.

How many figures is this build? Did you paint anything? I'd love to borrow it if it is not too many figures. I don't want to buy 4-5 Joytoy figures to get the basic build. I have the Joe heads. Thanks!

Thanks Joe Bro, I wish they would do that as well. Probably a steeper price tag than they want to take on.
For Jay West, Let me start by saying you might be best off using this figure: This one comes with the helmet I used and other than the feet, it's black. I don't have this figure in hand for comparison, because I bought the helmet loose. The rest of SE's gear comes from my fodder and buying stuff loose on Taobao. It's where most of the work went into my SE. Mostly putting the web gear together from fodder and splicing in elastic to get the shoulder pads to fit right. For SE's body I used 3 figures (other than the heads and hands). There is no paint on the figure, other than the heads, hands, and gear. You would mostly only need 2 figures, but these figures are older and harder to find: That's more or less how they came. Without their gear they're entirely black: Here is the recipe with slightly different hands and different thighs: After that it's just add gear. I just turned this one into Black-Ops Shipwreck. The build is just a little taller than I want, still works great with smaller and larger figures. Here's a final pic for comparison. Hope this helps, cheers

Fennec -
I was just fooling around with combinations and stumbled upon this build. I recognized the resemblance to Night Fox immediately because Night Fox is one of my favorite post ARAH original Joes. I loved the first one because of his design, accessories, and file card. The second looked cool, but was 5 POA POS. The third was saddled with worse proportions than the first (they just couldn't get his legs right. I think this marries the style of the first with a color scheme influenced by the third. Night Fox is a cool enough code name but it's too close to Night Force. So I've renamed mine after the Sahara's amazing little critter: The Fennec Fox. Snake Eyes was kind enough to donate one of his unused heads (yes it's a Storm Shadow head, but I used it for SE). I wouldn't have stumbled upon this combo if it weren't for settling on a different head on SE.

Man, these are awesome! I've been trying to avoid using Joytoy parts because of the price, but when I see customs like these, it makes it VERY hard to resist.
That Snake Eyes is so cool, I love it. Also great to see you giving some love to a newer character like Night Fox. He definitely is one of the cooler new Joes, and your custom makes him even more so. Hope to see you keep cranking these out! I mean, kind of. Like I said, if you keep tempting me to buy in to some Joytoy stuff because of your customs, my wallet's really going to be hurting... |

Matt, you may want to steer clear of this thread as I'm receiving 5 new figures later this week ;)
