Here is a copy of the interview for those that don't have Instagram, it is the first part of a two part series.
Interview with G.I. Joe Classified Master Model Artist - Tony As the Master Model Artist of the G.I. Joe Classified Series, how did it all start? It all started with customizing my toys as a kid! Pulling out a Toybiz X-Men, a Monsters in my Pocket, or an old Hasbro WWF figure and some acrylic paint and making my own characters. For some reason, I never altered my Joe's! I guess they were sacred to me. I've always been artistic, and it stayed with me all through college, graduating in Illustration. 17 years ago, I got my dream job painting prototypes at Hasbro after school. Working on 25th Anniversary G.I. JOE, Marvel Legends, Transformers, Indiana Jones, etc. helped me train my critical eye and hand skills. I was brought onto G.I. JOE Classified about the second year in, and I couldn't be happier seeing these figures in 6" scale. First G.I. Joe figure? Beachhead! He remains one of my favorites to this day. (Dr. Mindbender was my second) First G.I. Joe comic, you read? Firstly, I want to mention that Hama is the GOAT. BUT, I only invested in the comics much later and went back and read the graphic novels. I think my first comic was #139 with that Joe/Transformers Crossover. Side note: I'm a huge fan of the old Mike Zeck covers. First animated episode, you watched? For me, the RAH is king. I'm not sure on the first, I'm sure it was "The MASS Device". Most memorable for me was the ridiculous "The Viper is Coming". It's amazing how well that cartoon series holds up! Some of those other action brand cartoons are unwatchable. But not Joe! Who are your top 5 favorite characters? Sgt. Slaughter Beachhead Cobra Commander Serpentor Destro What is your favorite thing about the brand? I'm a fan of G.I. JOE as a whole. It runs the gamut from Special Forces Units to the more fantastical elements to prehistoric underground societies, giving the brand such a wide range. Thank you to Tony and Hasbro! Now you know, and knowing is half the battle! Last edited by deathvalleymachine; 01-27-2024 at 09:51 AM.. |
