Yeah, I think that's where it came from originally, but I bought it completely converted from Alyosha (who has tons of great heads converted to fit 25th anniversary bodies, by the way). I really love that Duke head- it looks just like the original card art. It's slightly large for the body, but it's still a great trade up. Check out Aly's stuff before you start converting- he may save you a ton of work for just a few bucks! |

nice mods I like. The only thing thats odd for me is the placement and length of the pistol holder on the trooper. If you look at the siloette of the figure it kinda looks like a...you know...;)
Anyways, not sure if a soldier running with a holder that dangles that long (even not in the groinal area) would like the pistol wacking the sides of his leg or his groin. Maybe reposition it to attach to one of the suspender straps? |

Excellent improvements. Now they look a whole lot more like the originals. That's a cool Cobra Sgt. too.

Hey all,
I have a couple of new ones to share. They're really more like modifications than customs. The first is Grunt. He utilizes a Hawk body and a heavily modified Anakin Skywalker head from attack of the Clones. I chose the head because of the unique clenched teeth that really reminded me of the original card art for Grunt. I also sculpted his new hair with a high forehead like the original figure.The M- 16 is Marauder Those are excellent. Did you have to drill the interior of the Annakin head to make it fit Grunt's body? Or did it naturally snap onto the body? Thanks. |

No, thank YOU, sir! I'm glad you like them. Unfortunately there was nothing natural about the Anakin head as it applies to GI Joe bodies. I did indeed have to Dremel it out and fill it with hot glue. On the bright side, it was my first conversion of this kind and the technique worked suprisingly well. I couldn't believe how well the hot glue filling worked! Thanks for the comments and your interest

Wow, now that's a compliment if I ever heard one. Your Grunt head is spot on. No TRU 3 pack needed. And your paint on Aly's Duke head looks great. I've got one but have yet to paint it. Great work can't wait to see more.
