Headhunter Stormtrooper in 25th style GI Joe custom figure modern ROC POC 3.75"

Headhunter Stormtrooper; before this, I had only done 1 custom as a paid commission, for a friend in a forum. I started properly customizing joes, and then made a few customs for sale of Marvel and DC, which brought other commissions, but just last year a collector's who collects MOTUC also asked me for this. So I did them, first modern joe commission. The Headhunter is one of the few vintage Joes I am lacking! I toyed with the idea of buying one just to cast some parts, but saw it's ridiculous prices so I had to pass on the idea (I'll get it someday, damn!). This is one of those characters that changes a lot from blister artwork to figure, I based on the vintage figure as asked, but took some inspiration from the artwork, as some things if not would look plain silly in 25th form. Doing so many small spikes was a challenge! 

 

 

SOS Action Force GI Joe ARAH custom figure

SOS; this is a custom that started as a simply partswap, and decided to improve it and upgrade it with a repainted Corps head, which are really wonderful, by the way. A member of the British Action Force, specialist in rescuing in adverse conditions.

Alas GI Joe 25th Custom Figure Airborne Comic book order of battle Marvel

 Alas; I was always fascinated by the comicbook filecards, showing me Joes I never knew nor saw! with time, I went identifying them, but some simply didn't ring any bell nor matched the figures. I realized later, as my comicbooks were in Spanish, that the filecard for "Alas" (wings in spanish) corresponded to Airborne! I could see no similarity between the figure or cartoon with the illustration! it is so bizarre, that when I came over it again, I decided to do a custom of him in it's honour. In my opinion, the old ARAH figure is nice, but doesn't look at all to have red indian descent, hence in my joeverse, that is left out and is given to Alas, a new Joe.

 I chose a 25th body, even if I don't usually, as was the only one that could give me the thin and tall look of the illustration.
