One of the GIJCC's last figures was GI Joe (but not Colton?) featured in "Black Spider Rendezvous", which was named after a 70's set. The packaging explains that GI Joe is on the way to meet Black Spider, a "mysterious agent", somewhere in the mountains.
If Black Spider is some kind of covert operations type, she shouldn't look like it. No fedora or trench coat. That's where the REI-style clothing comes in. As far as who she is, this is the grown-up version of Vena, Spirit's cousin seen in the Sunbow cartoon. I had planned on doing customs of both Vena and Black Spider, then it occurred to me that they could be one and the same. Last edited by Clockwise; 01-07-2022 at 08:42 AM.. |

Cool history lesson to start the post since i have that Club figure but it?s been so long since I took him off the wall to check out the file card that I haven?t thought about what it actually was a homage too in a long while. Have to make a custom of him at some point since I like the card art too much to open up the one I have.
That was a cool idea to merge the two characters, then also using the location to dictate the type of look she would have gear-wise. Really fun build, love the coloring and did a really great job on the face. Has a familiar look but also unique at the same time to make her stand out on a shelf. Always love checking out / learning about these deep dive characters that you tackle.

Thanks, guys.
I have a few more "blended together" customs planned, including the companion figure to Black Spider. That will be Marcus, the unproduced Kindle Words contest figure, replacing the unnamed generic GI Joe seen in Black Spider Rendezvous. |

Looking forward to it. Black Spider is a cool concept.

Not a huge fan of 5 point articulation figures, but I have to admit that this figure does look really nice. And the back story is what really makes her interesting!

Thanks, it was fun to develop a character that Hasbro/GIJCC left unseen and as a blank slate.
I'm okay with low POA figures, but a mountain climber is a character that wouldn't be hurt by articulation. If the sculpted material didn't have the great ridges already carved into the sleeves and pant legs, I might have been tempted to add some elbow or at least knee articulation. |
