Thank you 👍

Love the look and use of the Luke Cage head sculpt. It really adds some realism to the figure.

I really like the use of Gung Ho with Roadblock he looks like a member of Schwarzenegger’s team who go up against the Predator, I’m a Classified collector so I love to see ideas like this 👍

It definitely has a Dillion from Predator vibe to it. With the sculpt and texture details these are really fun to kitbash and customize.

That's one bad ass crew you've got. 👍

They look great. I'm about to get into doing custom work myself on my GI Joes. Today I bought an airbrush in a bunch of brushes.

Man, I love this Roadblock so much. Looks really awesome and so much more realistic that the very first release. Really dig the head and helmet options as well. Incredible job as always my friend!

Thank you very much 🙂 I do seal my paint work. I usually use testors dullcoat and semi-gloss spray to seal them.

I know you like to have the more realistic military aesthetic, but this vid now has me thinking about what parts from which figures could be cobbled together to make a set of bronze bombers in this scale. I think about half of that line from olmec had realistic looks, while the other half had some 80s outrageous colors... (Well, maybe not truly outrageous colorwise, that'd be a different property 💎🎤🎶🎸🎵🎼)

Another good video? Episode? with good ideas with leeway to build upon.

These worked out great with expanding the limited number of Joes. Right now the Cobra forces way outnumber the Joes. I have some Valaverse Action Force figures on preorder to help bolster the Joe ranks.

What do you use as a wash to match up the skin tone on the Luke Cage head sculpt?

How were you able to get the vest on him? I am wanting to change my vest around but I'm not sure if their arms come off?

With all of the G.I. Joe Classified figures you can heat and pop the arms at the shoulder. With all of these figures having butterfly joints makes it really easy to remove the arms. Removing the arms is necessary to remove the vest, but once you remove the arms you can work off the the vest without damaging it.

@@jonhahn6557 I haven't done that myself, but I've seen others do that with these Joes. I recently saw someone put the Zartan upper body on a Cobra Infantry lower body. They are connected with double ball pegs, so I would assume you should be able to heat and pop.

I like these vids but the music drives me crazy! Isn't anyone else annoyed as hell with it? Maybe everyone else is afraid to criticize, but please change it! Or leave it out completely. Videos don't need a looping background track. Have mercy! 😫

I've toned it down a lot... when editing these earlier videos the speakers on my editing machine was barely registering it. I hate how loud it is on the older videos. Thank you for the feedback. Comments like this actually help a lot. Going forward I'm just going to drop it all together.
