I know people have done lots of the international characters before. I never had much interest in them, but I did manage to get the convention exclusive figures quite inexpensively over time (a lot of patience and persistence pays off). When collectors refer to "Argen 7" they are including good and bad guys as a group of toys, but I kind of liked it as the team name, so I needed a couple more guys.
Luckily for me, a much bigger fan(s) already did some similar work, so I admittedly stole his/their roster. Hopefully the non-custom guys don't need any explanation. I don't do much in the way of customs but I had fun; that's what counts the most. Sorry for the poor photography. T.N.T. - is just a repainted Blowtorch with Firefly's SMG and demolitions kit. I had a real devil of a time getting his feet back into his lower leg. Also, the plastic of his lower legs has an issue with the Krylon Fusion brand of paint (it's still tacky even after a week). He still needs some touch-up work (and maybe another coat of silver on the chest - I may paint the chest strap, gizmo, and collar yellow). As you can see, I wasn't totally faithful to the original figure. I wanted the pads to be a uniform silver. The yellow kneepads add some of that color to the bottom half (on the top there is the blue helmet & gloves) and I don't have to worry about paint rub. Fashionable and functional. Sokerk - is a UPB Steeler body & helmet, a Breaker (RAM Cycle) web gear, PIT Commando head, and a ROC Elite Viper Backpack & axe. I don't recall who the rifle came from (it was just in my pile of parts). Sokerk required no paint nor B&P, at all. he's 100% head/gear swap. Brawler (the vehicle on the left) - Is a repainted GI Joe Brawler. Mostly black with a silver hood. I didn't attach the gigantic, silly cannon on the top. I chose this mostly because I wanted the whole team to have a means of getting around and it can easily be swiped for just about any other group of characters. Thanks for looking |

Cool.
I really like the looks of TNT. I was just working on my Arg BackStop a few days ago (same base figure).

I really love when people do a group project like this, and when it comes out as clean as yours did.
