Awesome...did you do all the sculpting?


nope, the torso was done by Krexx and will be available at theangelforge (an on going project, alot more new joe sculpts are coming in the next few months and beyond) sometime in the near future.

That's an excellent figure, but not one I'd want in my collection. He's too 5th-tier for me, but a great job nonetheless.

I mean if Hasbro made him, I'd likely buy him because I'm dumb. But you put in a TON of work on a figure that I wouldn't dare attempt.

I would really like to see you take on Heavy Duty. You have done several figures from the ear and would love to see how he would turn out.

He looks solid but I do agree that your skills have gotten better since then.

yeah, theres alot im going back and redoing now (bf2000 ;) hoping this time I do them good enough that I wont have the urge to redo them again a few years from now. That Gung Ho seems like it would be fun

I'm actually surprised that an ARAH HD hasn't been done, since we got 3-4 in the ROC line.

As for your newest customs, I'm really partial to Decimator. I had (well, still have) the Hammerhead vehicle somewhere in my parent's house but I think the figure was part of my fire-fiasco. I always liked him despite the garish yellow. I think with some slightly muted colors it fits in with some of the coolest ARAH figures. The vehicle was cool, too. One of the better Cobra vehicles from the later years, personally.

Those Worms look great!...I've got a soft spot for that figure since I had him when I was young...

Skymate?...never heard of him...looks cool though...the name though...sounds a hint gay...


Here's one I really like...one of my fave figures in general...he looks so freaking cool...I really should make my own...but I'd like to see your take on this one

That Roadblock was my first RB, and I still think he's my favorite. I was so happy to see updates to some of the earlier guys like Roadblock, Bazooka, Zap, Duke, and Gung-Ho in the early 90s, even if they had some nasty colors. The updates were actually kind of cool, to be honest.

I've already told you, but awesome job on WORMS, Decimator and Skymate. You're going to have to do a video montage of all of your customs when you finally finish, if you ever actually finish.

I just noticed that Skymate's head is one of Jose's sculpt that I added the mustache to for my Claymore custom. Nice use of it!

Didn't Zanzibar count as a pirate?

Yeah, a butt-pirate, judging by this get-up. :)

Original Character: Cobra Voodoo Priest: Ge-Rouge

inspired by my kids and watching Disney's Princess and the Frog for the millionth time with them!! for anyone that hasnt seen it, the bad guy is a Voodoo Priest and my kids asked if there was one in GI Joe. Figured why not, fits right in with the other weirdos!

LIKE!...beautiful paint work man...and let me guess, he resides in Nwalans?


thanks bro, seemed like a natural choice................he has an extensive collection of beads! not much paint though, only the torso, arms, feet, and skull on a stick. only took me maybe 20 mins but fun anyways or so my wife says:)
