GI Joe Spirit Iron-Knife






I wasn't too impressed with the colors on Spirit, so I decided to give him the "treatment." I really like the impact armor look for Joes, as it both keeps them uniform looking while gving them a slight futuristic feel since they are the elite of military special forces. I am very satisfied with how he turned out, and now can add the Joe team's tracker to my collection.

Marvel Universe Incredible Hulk










This is my second attmept at re-doing the Marvel Universe Hulk. Another figure customizer Mike D made an awesome Hulk figure using the movie head and after seeing his masterpiece I knew I had to have one of my own. I took my previous Hulk re-paint, and built up the neck area with greenstuff putty, and added a ball joint for the new head. I am very pleased with how this turned out, and thanks Mike D for the inspiration!!!

Marvel Universe War Machine






















Here is my modern comic version of Marvel's War Machine, which is a simple blending of the movie version with the comic version. It was a quick and simple build, but the turn out of blending the two figures into one really makes all the difference to me. I am very happy with this version, and think he really looks good standing next to the Marvel Universe modern Iron Man figure!

The Drakes Team Photo

















"The Drakes" as they are called, are a squad of highly trained and tech oriented soldiers of unknown origin. Their motives at this point are unknown, but rumor has it that they are in the employ of a highly regarded official. However, who exactly that person is that pulls their strings cannot be confirmed. What can be confirmed is that the Drakes operate with an extreme tactical proficiency unmatched by others in the world. They utilize the latest in advanced technology and use it with the utmost precision. Chances are if you ever encounter the Drakes, know that it is for a reason, and someone somewhere wants you gone. The harsh truth is though, you probably won't even know it until it's too late.

Perch has a reputation for grumbling, complaining, and making sarcastic remarks when they aren't really welcome. This causes some conflict with his team mates at times, but Perch does it knowing that keeping his distance is part of his job. Perch has a knack for being in the strangest of places at just the right time to provide sniper fire for The Drakes. He rarely needs any direction from team leader Jack, and has no problem voicing that when he can. When given a choice, Perch welcomes the challenge of hitting moving targets.

The Drakes Commando Code Name "Dao"

Razor sharp, and made of an advanced metal alloy, Dao slices and dices his way through any who stand in his way. Like the rest of his teamates in being the best of the best, Dao is extremely proficient in various martial arts, and stealth tactics. Dao seems to get into any installation, fortress, or castle with relative ease and can do so completely unnoticed by the enemy. Dao has undying loyalty to The Drakes and to the command of team leader Jack, and acts only on his commands.
