Very cool. Really brings back memories. My joe-verse also has nothing to do with GI Joe and I always liked mixing in Gundams like that heat hawk I see Mr. Bada$$ is using.

All of them are very nice. I agree with you that the V.3 does look off. The gradual increase in size from 3 3/4 to 4in on the Joes can make head swapping w/traditional 3 3/4 figures tough w/out getting the 'pin head' effect. If you're looking for figure options you could maybe try some of these Spylounge.net Action Figures<br>Featuring Agent Annika!! - GI Joe Action Figures, G.I. Vintage Toys & More GI Joe Collectibles! Guru-Planet Super Store if they are still available. They tend to be a decent size match with ROC figures (maybe a little bit on the small side) and they have to be pretty heavily modified to work w/the Joes, but you've easily got the skill to do it.

Thanks everyone
Never heard of 'em. I just combined a crosshair and a star. Only because the case looked to plain without it. Quote:

That said, it's worth a try. Worst case scenario, I finally break down and get a dremel tool (not a bad thing, really). So, is that site reliable?

Decided to try the head test in a different way. The Lady Jaye's neck was to long (and so is RA Scarlet's neck) and Jaye's neck is angled forward (Scarlet's is not). So, to the left is the Jinx head on the custom body (WIP). On the right is a digibash to shorten the neck using the same photo to stay on scale.
I think it looks good after the shorting. It's still a bit to small, but no more than 25th Roadbloack's head. Any thoughts before I destroy Scarlet's neck to make it fit?

Now for some of my early TAOWAR customs.
Blade Raider: My Hero custom. This is technically v2, but the v1 was just an unmoded Outback. There's a v1.5 and it's just this custom without the blue and a different coat. This is the the figure I use in my comic as me (if I was a hero, that is :P). I'm working on updating this custom and most others as we speak. Like most of the TAOWAR characters, he has a Kai Blast. "Metallic Summoning Execution" is the name of my KB. It's a parody of most summoning type spells. Visually, it's close to the summonings in Naruto as I use a Blood Summoning Scroll (not pictured) and the summonings "poof". I can summon Water based Transformers inculing Claw Jaw, Seaspray, and my favorite, Shortround (the toy collecting TF). I carry a jian sword named Fortavis. Don't use it right though as I slash with it (jians are stabing weapons). Parts: Head - Outback, Torso - Rampart, Legs/Hip - Roadblock v2, Arms - VvV Snake-Eyes, Coat - Mace Windu rode, Gun holster - Chuckles, Gun - Spytroopers Shipwreak, Sword - Ninja Battles 5-pack Tiger Claw.

Archangel and Wolfangel:
These are light customs. Archangel is my brother and Wolfangel is his fiancé. Archangel uses Chuckles as a base because my bro has a hawaiian shirt he wears all the time. He also wears a hat based on Urahara's hat from Bleach. Simple custom really. Like before, I'm working on an upgrade for him too. His Kai Blast is "Destructive Hand of Unicron". It come from his annoying need to set off my Unicron's light hand and yelling "Burning Finger" from G Gundam. It's your basic flaming hand punch. Parts: Body - Chuckles, Hat - Misha Zubenkov, Bullet Belt - 25th Rock 'n Roll, Sword - That talking General Hawk, Gun - Cobra Viper. Wolfangel is the comic 3-pack Baroness with the Cobra emblem painted over and gear added. It was picked because it was the only head that looked like her at the time. Her Kai Blast is "Diamond Touch". After activating, anything she touches becomes diamond. Items, weapons, people, etc. will all become diamond at her will. It's based on Kole's super power from Teen Titans. She's getting a big upgrade once I find the ROC Scarlet in camo. Parts: Bariness v5, Belt - Twist Tie, Sword and sword holster - JvsC ninja, Sheild - Crystal Ball. The rest of the main cast have custom paint apps, but their so small that I'm not going to the trouble of photographing them for this thread.

ME:
You've seen my hero custom. Well, this is my self custom. Yes, I'm in a wheelchair and I'm short. I'm okay with it :P. This was made for the hell of it and for a back story comic. The wheelchair was painful to find, but super cheap once I found it. It was actually more expensive to get the Short Round figure. I wear a hat (not that type anymore, though) and I use to wear a leather jacket as well. I'm very happy with this custom. Parts: Body - Indy Short Round, Head - 25th Shipwreck, Hat - some VvV figure, Wheelchair - Mai Hime Gashapon. Robert Clamcake: This is the first of a group of original characters made for the current story where a Paradox has changed the timeline so Cobra rules the world. Clamcake is the leader of the Resistance. He's a toughen warrior and after his family was killed, he formed the Resistance to destory Cobra. His Kai Blast is "Fist of the Ice King". Based on the Digimon, Leomon's, Fist of the Beast King attack. However, unlike Leomon, he had to make a devil's deal for the power. His right hand is frozen solid as his price. His name comes from his figure. He's a repaint of Crankcase. I got Crankcase for the AWE Striker and only glance at the name and started calling him clam cake. This sparked making the Resistance and he became leader. Parts: Head, Torso, and Arms - Crankcase, Legs - Cobra Trooper, Vest - Beachhead, Belt - Snake Eyes, Machete - Marauder Gun Runners.

Roz Proudfoot:
The Resistance's 2nd in command. She's the weapon expert as well. She loves her guns and has the skill to kill with a paint gun. You don't want to be on her bad side, which is hard because she doesn't trust easily. She refuses to use Kai Blasts due to not trusting Master Yoda (Yes, that Yoda). She started as a simple repaint to fill the female role of the group, however she's become one of the most well developed characters of the comic. Go figure. Parts: Figure - Spytroop Lady Jaye, Gun - ANYTHING.
