Excellent!
 

Great work: http://s388.photobucket.com/albums/...0Joe%20Customs/ !

Yea but those are 25th figs with the guns he has... none of the RAH styled...The RAH ones he has with weapons are MarauderInc weapons.... I also PM'd him with a link to this thread so we'll see if he might come over here and talk more about what he's doing and such.. I know Pluv (head guy at JC) asked about possible group pricing like MJ does for his weapons...So we'll see.

Correct, that link contains all custom work I've done over the years. The female Troopers (which are 100% cast) are holding Marauder guns.

The handles on most of the guns are very narrow. There is no threat of broken thumbs, but they are too thin. ARAH figures have a hard time holding them. It's also recommended that the trigger guards be removed for ARAH figures, they make holding the guns even more difficult. A suggestion is to coat the handles in green stuff or other putty to thicken them up a little. Modern figures don't really have a problem.

I've also added packaged deals to the guns in the store linked to in the first post.

Neato :)

I've been posting this project all over the place and because of that I have been forgetting to explain my intentions with this project at some places. The ultimate goal is for this figure to be factory manufactured. The prototype model is being sculpted by professional toy sculptors, it is not my work.

I bring this up now because I am playing around with repaint ideas. Because of the high production costs I do not believe I could sell enough of this figure to recuperate my expenses. I would need to repaint the figure and sell more of them. Here are some ideas I have come up with. Let me know of any suggestions or if you like any of these ideas.

1. Sunbow Greenshirt
I would need to have an alternate head for this one to work. One with the helmet as depicted in the episode 'Call of the Siren'.


2. Amber
This one would obviously be taking great liberties in design. Amber's outfit in 'Lasers in the Night' is more akin to Jinx's, but since the outfit only appears in one scene I don't think it's a big deal. The colors are correct, or this could be her uniform if she ended up joining the Joe team.


3. Scarlett
Okay, this one turned out terrible but here it is anyway. I was thinking about updating Scarlett's uniform to match the rest of the O13 while keeping her coloring. It didn't work out so well...

Those repaints look fine to me.

They look good.

For a repaint idea, how about a Cobra Blueshirt? Classic Cobra Trooper color scheme, red logo on chest. A good idea for sales because people would army build them.

The head is the only part I'm unsure of because of is the face mask. I don't know if simply painting it on would work or if you would need a new head-sculpt. If you had a generic masked head you could a bunch of repaints like jungle, snow, desert, urban, crimson and night ops.

I always though Cobra needed more ladies.

I'm going to hold off on that for a few reasons. The uniform is too different for me (I'm picky about detail) and I would like to do a proper female Trooper in the future.

I have to agree. the uniform details wouldn't be exact, but I don't think it would hurt to do some in cobra blue, with possibly a new headsculpt.
