Customizing mecha pilot

Here's one of my new GI Joe 25th Anniversary custom figures, C.O.M.B.A.T. upgraded from his original Sigma 6 custom fig in my archives. Combat was made from a Cobra soldier lower half, Star Wars Assassin droid upper half, MARS robot head, and various random parts. He can look around in all directions and had the shoulder laser replaced with a machinegun. The American Flag was hand painted on his shoulder. Someone told me he looks really close to the BV-01 character in this short film here http://www.veoh.com/videos/v1602778Q...5162908&rank=1 I'll probably tinker around with the head and armor design for future Combat units.
Thanks for all your help with Red Laser's eyes btw! I decided on straight silver as it gave him a creepy, empty look. If I make another he'll get the red tears tho. Red Laser is actually a GI Joe character from way, way back. When GI Joe first toys hit Europe they needed a less Amaerican name so they changed it to 'Action Force'. Cobra became the 'Red Shadows' and the line continued under those names. Red Laser here was Baron Ironblood's lackey who saved him in a key issue using 'primative laser technology'. Well I upgraded that laser tech and here he is! Red Laser was made from a Cobra Commander head/lower arms/upper legs, Cobra trooper helmet (cause it has the cool little 'v' shape in the middle), Crimson Guard body/lower legs, and various random parts to form his laser gauntlet and backpack. The original figure was just a straight repaint of Cobra Commander and while I like the colors and design, I needed to give him my own special touches to bring him into the 21st Century! Enjoy! |

Joe C.O.M.B.A.T. is friggin awesome. I love the design, looks flawless. Nice choice of parts and it all flows together. Now the Joes have an answer to the B.A.T. In other words I dig it!

Red Laser looks great. This is the first time I've ever liked this character. Great job making a lazy repaint into a unique and great looking figure.

Wow, geeze, don't you all give me a big head or anything! These are the ideas I could share with Hasbro (if they didn't require you to move to Rhode Island in order to work with them) Here's hoping they contact me over my SWARM entry and I can give them some ideas too,

I really dig the Red Laser (Not too keen on the "Grendel" eyes, but otherwise perfectly awesome!)
Combat is pretty cool, the pants bug me a bit but that's just me. Very awesome customs all around |
