The following digibash I had created was Stalker. Yes, I know he is supposed to be Ripcord, but if they wanted to hire Marlon Wayans, I don't understand why they didn't give him any of the perfectly viable African-American G.I.Joes for him to play. At first I thought I'd replace the actor to one more suitable for Ripcord, but decided against it. Instead, I decided to just change the character. First, I had to colorize his uniform an acceptable shade of green. I then added the G.I.J.O.E. Camo to the entire suit. I added a beret from an army surplus catalog, and added an Airborne Rangers patch to the beret. I'm not sure what division Stalker is supposed to represent, but his 25th anniversary action figure had an indistinct red patch on the beret (hence my choice in patch).

Wow! Great job on those!
I wish the outfits actually did look like that! |

I was never really satisfied with the original Scarlett digibash I post at the beginning of this thread, so when some more Scarlett pictures were released, I had to give it another go. They showed more of her costume which is what I wanted to show. I started by redoing the blue and yellow color scheme. I then found a figure that was green and gold.
I continued to look through various figures and found some that were a little less gaudy. I think they complement her skin and hair better than the ones with the gold tones. My favorite is v4 which also has the G.I.Joe camo pattern added to it. I guess when it comes down to it, if they make good "movie" action figures, I will probably buy and repaint them. Just one more digibash to post, and the thread will be current. |

They are really cool man, I like the black suits but it would be very cool if they put the colors in it.
I actually prefer Baroness V4 to all the others!

This is my first attempt at recreating a character using miscellaneous images not associated with the G.I.Joe movie. As far as I'm aware, Tomax and Xamot will not be making an appearance in the first movie but that didn't stop me from imagining what they might look like. IIRC, besides being the Crimson Guard Commanders, they also run Cobra's "legal" businesses. The twins are mirror images of each other, save for the scar on Xamot's face. The one person that I thought could pull off their signature hairstyle is Tom Welling of Smallville fame. He can also do a pretty good "smug" look that I felt suited the snobbish brothers.
It didn't turn out perfect, but I think it turned out well enough. And with that, I'm current with the digibashes I had posted elsewhere. Next up is a revisit to Hawk, since it was requested that I do away with his beret. |

Im digging it. He could do it but I wonder if he could be as obnoxious as the twins were in the cartoon.

These look awesome man, it's amazing what adding a little color does for their looks. Would it have been so hard to go this route for the movie? Don't get me wrong, I like the black just fine, I just like these more.
I really like your take on Tomax and Xamot, very slick. Last edited by BigErn; 05-14-2008 at 08:56 PM.. |

WOW...just WOW!!!! What a difference! My major complaint with the power suits was that they take away from the characters individuality. IMO that's what made them so popular to kids in the '80s. When you add the color, it pays homage to the old school while adding a futuristic look! And the switch to green on Hawk...perfect!!! That grey cammo looks awful! Bravo Pyro!!! I just wish that the costume designers could see these!!!!
And Tom Welling as the Twins...perfect choice!!! He definately looks the part! |
