Wild Boar 25th (G.I. Joe 25th Anniversary) Custom Action Figure

 Here is Wild Boar! another 25th version. Hasbro left the line with many gaps, hundreds of them really. I made his weird two-helmeted fashion, and gave him a weapon as the original never had one.

Again, I believe I got rid of another Snake Eyes from this world (far too many :lol:), to create this new character.

Looter Cobra custom action figure gi joe arah vintage

 Looter; loosely inspired by Chad & Matthews customs of the possible "Jurassic Park" line in o-ring style. The design was cool, and I was looking for some inspiration, as sometimes is tiring to come up with new concepts :) . However, second versions of characters bores me, so I made him a brand new exciting character, Looter. Specialist in sacking old temples, tombs, any kind of valuable artifact, and also breaking in museums and private mansions. Knows everything there is to know about traps, curses and the like. He enlisted to Cobra to get access to more temples, to do more looting, as Cobra has the best database of lost temples and similar :) .

GRANITE Custom GI Joe Cobra vintage figure arah

Here is Granit, a custom that was inspired by a great custom, I think I saw on Chad/Matthews website (please correct me if I am wrong). I saved the image for years, and then I stumbled onto a "granite spray", a strange and wonderful item, that allows you to actually spray texturized granite onto something. The design is sadly flawed, as it is clogging continuously, but at least allowed me to pull out this custom :) .

The main idea is that he sports a new, experimental armour based in very thick granules that renders him virtually indestructible to small arms fire, and hence, if you have such a suit, the first thing you do is becoming a mercenary :) .

Mariner GI Joe vs Cobra Spy troops custom figure unproduced

Mariner; googling I found a image of possible, but unproduced comic book character that were considered for the GI Joe vs Cobra run. One of them, Mariner, struck me as one of the more interesting of the lot, and wanting another new Joe, I thought he was a good choice :) to enlarge my GI Joe vs Cobra collection.

Torinoko GI Joe ninja custom action figure unproduced 1995

Torinoko. A concept I've come up myself, considering what might have happened if GI JOe had continued in 1995. Coming from the Ninja fever of the nineties, more Ninjas were tremendously possible, and so I went a bit for colours like Budo unreleased, with a gimmick like chrome hand, and a bit of textile like Tjbang, etc. He is an outcast ninja, dishonoured by a previous deed, who roams having sworn revenge to all other ninja clans.

Thunder Ninja ARAH GI Joe custom figure

Thunder Ninja; canonic character, yes ;) . Browsing boredly through YoJoe, I stumbled upon the Micro force figures, and a design struck me as fresh, new, and basically, never seen before, Thunder Ninja. Tried to get more info about him but couldn't, I don't know if he appears on comics, but couldn't find anything. I thought it would be cool to make it into a ARAH figure. You can check his micro force figure here; https://www.yojoe.com/micro-force/13/thunderninja.shtml
