Most of my Big Dudes

Group shot of most of my big Joes. Probably around a dozen that wouldn't fit on the display. I guess I have a few...

Rock & Roll

Rock & Roll rescued from HOF non-articulated hell! His original head sculpt re-mounted on a modern Hasbro muscle body. I should try to get him some heavier fire power, but the M-249 SAW will work for now!

The Stage is Set - Again

I've got a place in my house where I can display a whole bunch of my big dudes. The picture below shows what it usually looks like.

Well, it has been sitting for quite some time with very little change and very little movement. Major dust build up! So over the course of several days, I pulled the troops down, dusted them off and took the pictures of all my previous (and future) posts.

I then took down all the boxes and cleaned them off as well. Those various boxes from around 1995 paid off as good material to build a display for my big dudes.

Now the boxes are cleaned off, reset and ready for a new display.

Now all I need is time!

Yeah, right...

Stalker

Stalker is a bad ass. That's all, just a bad ass.

Even with a HOF body, Stalker was still a bad ass, just an unarticulated bad ass. Rescuing his noggin to a Super Articulated body, he is a better bad ass! Skin tones don't match up exactly, but I did the best I could!

Starduster

Starduster got his introduction to the GI Joe fan base through a very unusual source - Action Stars cereal! After choking down a couple boxes of sugary goodness, a kid could send in the box tops or whatever and get his own exclusive Starduster figure. Yummy cavity-building goodness!

I always liked the Starduster character and only decided on creating a 1/6th version after finding this jet-pack thingy at a recent Joelanta show. I decided that the jet pack would make a great JUMP Mk2.

The head sculpt actually came from an exclusive WW1 pilot figure. Works for me!

Chuckles & Faces

The Joe Team's top two undercover agents - Chuckles & Faces.

I actually used the head sculpt for Hi-Tech as Chuckles. Chuckles is a much more needed character. I actually like the scowl as a contrast to his code-name.

Faces is actually the head sculpt from the Faces figure. Decent head sculpt. The body was one of those sculpted shirt deals - lame. I switched the head over to a Hasbro Super Articulated body. Much better!

Cutter

Always loved the WHALE from the 3 3/4" line. The original 3 3/4" Cutter was pretty cool, but didn't have any ears! Poor dude! I used a 21st Century Toys head sculpt for this guy. Worked out pretty good. I've tried to use primarily Hasbro head sculpts, but have added a few from other companies to fill in the ranks. Stay tuned!
