Hunter Prey Star Wars GI Joe Cobra custom figure

Magnum PI Commando Outfit GI Joe custom figure

Right from the 80s comes... Magnum! after watching recently the 8 seasons in the last months, as a customizer I was obliged to make a action figure of him :) .

I've selected the commando suit he wears in the first seasons, when he saves Higgins from that VIP corporation that wanted to kill Robin Masters.

The base figure is Falcon, with a unknown 25th head modified with sculpting to get the resemblance. I also sculpted the watch and his caracteristic ring.

Cobra Byalyan Trooper GI Joe 25th custom

Hi there, this is my first entry to my GI Joe blog of customized action figures.

This is a custom I made for the Custom Figure Wars ultimate contest, that was 4th. It was also presented to the www.nuevadominion.com GI Joe contest under the "Crossover" category, which he won.

The story;


As Cobra plans on taking over the Bialyan Republic, unhappy citizens paid by Cobra take arms against their "corrupt" government. Using top-of-the-range Bialyan technology that have been damaged (repaired by Cobra) by weather conditions in secret bunkers and warehouses, these troops are a formidable foe. Their armour and weapons could fail, or even worse, explode, at any moment, that makes them more dangerous if anything. Should Cobra fail in the Bialyan invasion, they could be put to a good use fighting GI Joe or the Oktober Guard in any place of the globe.



The custom; using a Cobra Commander ROC, and Snake Eyes POC armour, these custom has been quite easy to do, the important part was the sculpting of the head, knee pads, feet, and thigh plates. One of the first customs I've tried to try and represent oxid in the armour.
