Thanks to $0.88 ROC figures at Target and $5.00 Ninja Battle playsets at Wal-Mart, I finally decided this year to try my hand at customizing Joes, after collecting them since I was a kid in the 80s.
I wanted this figure to serve as a complement to the POC Alley Vipers I will hopefully be finding this fall, so I went with a similar IG-like color scheme. The chopper in the background is the PTE SWAT copter, where I got the vest, bolt cutters and accessories from. Recipe: -ROC Ninja Battles Snake Eyes Torso, Forearms, Hands, Legs, Feet, and Head (modified by sanding down some of the facial details) -ROC Ninja Battles Storm Shadow Upper Arms -ROC Desert Duke Helmet -PTE SWAT Vest |

Thanks everyone! I debated over weathering and adding more detail, but I decided to try and match the factory paint job for now.
Yeah, I got back into Joes at the tail end of 25th, and I've lurked here since then. I have some more customs in the works, too. Hopefully I'll be posting them in the near future. |
