    Ok so some of you may remember me from a few years ago. I used to be a pretty well known customizer until I retired from the hobby several years ago. Anyways I recently got hooked on mega bloks figures and they are truly fun figures with tons of customizing potential. For the fun of it I decided to make a few GI joe figures out of them. I have Baroness, Destro, Sci Fi, Beachhead, Duke, and Flint in the works but here's what I've done so far. The Cobra LA set was because I didn't think anyone has done them yet in this scale. Anyways, the playset was from an old spawn figure I customized for this set. Lots of fun making these.

    Those look awesome! I love the Cobra La set, I have those heads (on the guardsmen) and was wondering what I could do with them. I play around with these guys too, but haven't done the sculpting work that you've done. Fantastic!

    I think this should have been under "non-tf" in the description.

    I recently bought that Sigma Six set for the same purpose of using CC's head.

    What head are you using for Scarlet?

    What's your point? Does your comment really add anything to this post? And yes it is relevant as the Pythona was a mash up of original and Gi Joe Vs Transformers design. These figures were made to better scale with my Transformers display anyways.

    Oh really... huh. Will have to investigate further.

    Speaking of Aprils, the one that comes with the Classics Turtle van is going to be my attempt at Lady Jaye.

    I love these. This brand doesn't get enough credit.
    I totally agree about the scaling. It just looks good with so many TF models.

    great customs! I really love the Cobra units. Do you frequent any Mega Blok sites?
    Any advice on casting? I have the mega bloks Legend of King Arthur helmet heads that I would like to reproduce just have no idea what I'm doing.

    My point is that this website has a section called "non-tf". It's there for people to post non-tf customs at a Transformers site. It's simply good manners or common sense to post non-tf customs that way.

    Your custom isn't transformers related. If it does relate to it, then please explain in the original post, as not everyone knows about our cares about G1 Joe.

    I hope you can understand this easy to follow guideline which, I believe is in the posting guide.

    I myself had a thread removed and combined elsewhere, as it was merely a fan-mode. No problem for me. Please try to follow the guidelines, too.

    Cheers.

    I didn't know there was a mega bloks site. Anyways I use the casting kit sold at hobby lobby. It's easy with good instructions. Just make sure you use a 40% off coupon. Sadly, I need to buy more myself.
