Oreobuilder's Customs Vault - Daily Updates
« on: November 20, 2011, 07:37:05 PM »
So I've been doing customs for a while now. I haven't taken the time to photograph and submit all of them, so this is me playing catch up. Over the next few days, I'll be submitting the stuff that I've had lying around. Some of it was unfinished, some it has been done for a while and some was created very recently. Anyway, let's get things started.

I've been wanting to do some Sgt Savage characters for a while. I never really got past the Sgt himself. So until I throw together some more of the cast, here is Sgt Savage.

As always, comments, good or bad, are welcome.

Man, I'll be the first to say that you captured very the WW2 feel on this guy, down to the dark tones. This guy doesn't look all square as in the cartoon, but then again this is faithful translation of him in the modern era. And you chose the right parts for the job and captured the grim look on his face which is well put in value by his holding the American flag. Well done OB!

The 1998 - 2007 period was up and down for Joes, but it did produce some memorable new characters. Widescope... wasn't one of them. Basically a Shockwave clone, Widescope added another SWAT member to the Joe team. Never one to be deterred by the sheer pointlessness of a character, here is my quick custom.

Enjoy!

nice.

why do you think a SWAT team member is pointless?

Thanks.

Sundance, I guess I meant pointless in the sense of redundant. The Joes already have a SWAT specialist who is dressed in blue and black and wears a balaclava and baseball cap. Hasbro didn't really need to create such a similar character. It could have been a SWAT guy with a totally different look. But maybe it's just me  :)

Staying with the 1998-2007 period characters, here is my take on Surefire.

Enjoy!

Lol, yeah it does seem like an unlikely mix of accessories, but I'm gonna blame Hasbro for that. The original figure came with that same mix.

I didn't get a chance to post a new custom yesterday, so I'll have 2 ready to go a bit later in the day. I'm just waiting for my camera batteries.
