GI JOE CUSTOM

G.I.JOE customs
+My A.r.a.h. G.I.Joes: customs, modified, creations+

Here you can find my customs. Customize is one of my favourite "game" with Gijoe ;) I think its good for imagination, creativity and also is useful when you want to have some characters you cannot buy, or maybe just because Hasbro never release them! For example, Hardtop is a very expansive Gijoe... i decide to NOT buy him, and so im working on a custom. Im also working on Argentina Seven, Action Force, Firewall, Mayday and many others characters. I also like to create "new" Gijoe, not just the ones from comics, or cartoons but also the ones i create with my imagination. For the moment i don't have a lot to show you, but i will soon insert here new pics with new customs. Please stay tuned ;)
Featuring the following Joes: Shimik (Argentina Seven), Ice Cream Soldier, the Green Shirts (Gijoe Infantry Division).

NEW! SHIMIK NEW!
from ARGENTINA SEVEN
19 May 2010

the original Shimik

Head Roadblock 1992
Torso TunnelRat 1987
Crotch Beachead 1993
Arms Roadblock 1992
Legs Beachead 1993
Helmet Low-light 1991
Weapons Cobra Officer 1992
Backpack Big Bear 1992

Details: Shimik is my real first coloured custom. The one in the pic is the second try. In the first try i used a BigBen torso and SnakeEyes V2 crotch/legs. I decided, for the second try, to use the same head and arms i used for the first. I prefered the TunnelRat torso because is more original, also if the BigBen one is more similar to the original Shimik. In my head Shimik is a very powerful and smart soldier, ready to combat in any place, so, i decided to give him those Beachead legs, because i think they are very rich of accessories (2 guns, 1 knife, ammos and more). More Argentina Seven heroes are underwork, please come back to see them ;)
I really like the Argentina Seven characters, so i decided to create my own customs for two reasons: the originals are too hard to find and too expansive; and also i don't like the 1982/1983 bodies :P

NEW! GREEN SHIRTS NEW!
G.I.JOE TROOPERS INFANTRY DIVISION - VALOR VS VENOM
19 May 2010

Details: I really like the Green Shirts. I think is important for Gijoe to have a group of suckers: the GS are not yet Gijoe because they are too young! But they are ok to do troops and other works. So, i bought many of them: for the moment i have 25 Green Shirts. I customize each one of them with a new head, using everything i can: Chap Mei heads, Gijoe heads (especially repaints of the 1982/83 line), Lanard Corps and more. For now i can show just this little diorama i did the last year in my room. Now i have more GS than this... i will do some better pics to show you how i customize them :)

BIG BRAWLER
19 May 2010

Details: it was no easy for me to find a good Big Brawler... any version of him have something bad: colours, head sculpt, accessories, parts... so, i bought ALL the versions of him and create this custom :) His head is from Big Brawler V4 year 2004, legs and torso from Big Brawler V2 (Tiger Force) year 2003, Crotch and Arms are from Mutt 1992. I think in this way he looks real tough. I also like his "Tiger" jungle shirt: it fits perfect on him, 'cause he's a jungle specialist.

ICE CREAM SOLDIER
19 May 2010

Details: this is my custom ICS. I know, his name is terrible... and the original colours were also very ugly... BUT, i think the character is nice. I noticed that every wave of the original Arah line has a new one afro-american character every year, so, the ICS wave was the only one without a new bro. Also, we don't know if ICS is white, black, asian or what... so i decided to create for him an afro-american identity, using the head of Gijoe Street Fighter Balrog, and the body of a 2002 Shock Viper: the body is the same as the original ICS, but with more nice colours. Weapon and backpack are from Dragonsky. What do you think? Its a nice custom? :)
