preface...
Effects? Who the... Yeah that's what I said too. I created the figure first and needed a Joe to go along with it later. Tunnel Rat is the resident E.O.D. (Explosive Ordinance Disposal) technician for G.I. Joe, but my character is neither Chinese nor a midget, so Tunnel Rat was out. Aron "Effects" Beck was a *sigh* Star Brigade character in 1994, so his use now is only due to his history as an E.O.D. technician. Aron "Effects" Beck. Grade: E-6 MOS: Explosive Ordinance Disposal This custom is part of my "A.R.C.T.I.C." team, that I am currently rebuilding. Effects is pretty much the first figure I've "finished" so far, mostly because it was an accidentally made figure! I was working on something else, and opened up the new Cash Destro and his armor immediately said "E.O.D.!" to me.. so I started this little side project. Soon I realized I should make his robot buddy as well. This was the first figure that I painted from head to.. well, foot. I think it turned out alright overall. Painting is a lot tougher than I realized.. but practice makes perfect. Figure breakdown is as follows: PoC Destro (v2): Armor PoC Beachhead: Head, Arm Device RoC Arctic Shipwreck: Legs RoC Flash: Helmet PoC Skydive: Torso / Arms Random knee pads from a Bravo Team figure, Crotch protector from PIT Commando's gear.. pouches etc from who knows where. The robot is from RoC Ripcord (Reactive Armor) and a bunch of crap I found and glued together. Turned out okay for a robot that has a very short life expectancy Please let me know what you think, any complaints or criticism help me with the next figure! Thanks for reading!

That looks great. Good idea and execution, nice combination of parts, clear and concise specialty and accessories for it. A cool piece, well done.

Very nice! Very, very niiiiiice! I have thought about making something similar, but your parts choices may have given me the inspiration I need to finally follow through.

Nice job. Why not say the character is Tripwire instead of Effects, if you're not digging on that character? Everybody loves Tripwire.
