Hello 'Tankers
Two new customs...These were my entries in Alyosha's custom contest, in which he sent out 15 Joe heads to 50 participants (Thanks Alyosha!) We had to keep it secret who did what, but now the contest is over, so here they are! I took the opportunity to do two characters that I really wanted to do for a long time; Commandant McCann from the GI Joe episode "The Rotten Egg", and Law and Order. McCann was just a cool character in his appearance...he was such a nasty SOB, and I liked the look of his uniform. When ROC Destro came out, I knew I had my base figure. He's a simple repaint, the shoulder strap comes from an Indy figure, the head from Alyosha, the gun from a VVV figure, the hat from a 25th Red Star, the emblem on his arm, from Cobrastickers.com. Next is Law and Order. One of my favorites as a kid, and after seeing what we were getting that's being passed off for Law in the ROC line, I had to do a proper one. The base for the body is a ROC General Hawk (carded). I swapped his forearms so his watch is on the right side, and he was simply repainted. The "MP" on his arm is rub-on lettering. His vest is a slightly modded Clutch vest (leftover from my Big Brawler custom). for his badge, I actually made an impression from the original ARAH figure. The uzi is from Marauders and Law's helmet, Order, and nightstick are from the 2001 fig. Once again, the head is from Alyosha. I thought it looked a lot like the original figure.

I love the McCann. I am planning on doing one, but just a head swap. I have no painting skills. I figure the ROC Destro looks so close to the uniform that for me it's just going to be an updated look for McCann. I think I may even skip the hat, but love the take on a forgotten nasty Cobra. Don't you wish Hasbro would have just done this as one of their repaints and tossed it in a store battle pack?
I think I am going to try and see if Skyduster's head from the TRU SRO works. That's a nasty face that would make a good McCann. |
