As awesome as I find most of the Kre-O GI Joe sets to be, I just can't bring myself to love the Kre-O minifigure as much as the Lego minifigure. So I buy Kre-O sets and populate them with custom Lego figures.
I totally get the appeal of the Kre-O figure. The ball joints, the arms that accept clip-able accessories...but I guess my nostalgia for the Lego figure wins out. So, since this sub-forum has a multi-building block title, this is a thread to post any Joe characters that you've made mostly or entirely from Lego parts instead of Kre-O. You guys may have seen some of mine before, but I've got some new additions to share today as well. These first two pics are group shots of the first 59 figures I made: GI Joe Group Shot by Hobbestimus, on Flickr Cobra Group Shot by Hobbestimus, on Flickr Since then I've added new recruits to Cobra: Sabotage by Hobbestimus, on Flickr Hey, kids. Wanna buy some drugs? by Hobbestimus, on Flickr This I Command by Hobbestimus, on Flickr Tele-Vipers by Hobbestimus, on Flickr And just today to GI Joe: Slaughter's Marauders by Hobbestimus, on Flickr Wet Suit and Keel Haul by Hobbestimus, on Flickr Alpine by Hobbestimus, on Flickr |

Amazing work, man. While I've grown accustomed to Kreons, and in a weird way, actually kind of prefer them for Joe, I totally get your loyalty to the Lego minifig. Wouldn't mind getting to see some of these in person some day...

Hey Hobbes-timus, nice to see a familiar face. Dunno if you remember me from Eurobricks (I mostly post in the purist superhero thread), but I've been a fan of your custom work for awhile. In fact, you even sent me those great GI Joe/LEGO files about a year ago, which I still have not used. My new Kre-o collection might be the push I needed there, though.

Well, I'm glad I found you here, as it'll be inspiration to use those decals. I don't know how I missed these Kre-o sets for the past year.
Btw, awesome Tele-vipers. For some reason, I always loved that '85 action figure and you captured their feel well. Also, L-O-L on your Headman. |

Took some time away from important things I should've been doing to scratch the block itch tonight. Managed to put together a first draft of Slaughter's Renegades:
Is Taurus' armor over the top or does it properly capture the insane spirit of the original figure? |

A final version of the Renegades, some new guys, and some updates on some older ones.

Forget K-REO, this is where it is at!! I would love to see these in the stores! Man, I would be totally screwed if these mini figs were actually produced. A lego city filled with cobra troops oppressing the townsfolk, ahh what a cool thought.
