Tactical Santa

This is a bash I did this year that I've wanted to do for some time now... He was actually the topper on our Christmas tree this year...

Heavy Duty arrives

After seeing the new GI Joe movie, I decided I would pick up a few of the figures from the movie. Here's my latest addition to my "Joe" team, Heavy Duty. Of course I swapped his head to a different body that had better articulation and is a little more buff. I really like this headsculpt, he kind of has a pissed-off look which works well for Heavy Duty.

GI Joe Duke Figure

I passed on this figure initially because I don't like when Hasbro does the molded shirts or upper halves of figures. I thought they did a good job on Tripwire, and then just fell short on Duke. After about my third stop by Target, I decided to pick him up anyway. Here's my take on Duke in Iraq or Afghanistan, the Hasbro headsculpt has been transplanted to a DML body. The dish-dasha (man-dress) is from the Hasbro ROTLA Cairo Swordsman, I just cut a few inches off of it so that it didn't go to his ankles. The AK-47 is from Soldier's Stories PMC instructor figure.


Thanks for Looking!

Joelanta 2009

This past weekend, JJ and I drove to Atlanta to take part in Joelanta, which was my very first GI Joe convention. For more info, check out my Joelanta page here on my site. Thanks.
