Customs / Re: Project Flagg by Crimson Canuck

The super structure finally arrived as well as some other Flagg goodies and I finally got to give it a good inspection.

I decided I'd need to fix the warps and cracks first and then paint it to cover the yellowed and discoloured areas.
So I learned how to weld plastic and used a heat gun to reform the warped areas.

Customs / Project Flagg by Crimson Canuck

I remember when I was around 10 I would wear out the Sears Christmas catalogue looking at the pictures of the GI Joe toys and dreaming of having them and begging my parents for them. Especially the USS Flagg and a Skystriker to land on its deck. Well that never happened, but it wasn't all bad as I did get one GI Joe vehicle from my parents for Christmas one year, the Killer Whale hovercraft. The rest of my joes I bought with money from chores and picking bottles. Fast forward to 2002 and my son was around 5. I had finally gotten a Skystriker a couple of years earlier and thought it would be nice for my son to have a landing strip for the jet so I made an aircraft carrier deck from some particle board, painted it grey and made some stickers for it.


I put hinges on it to fold it in half for easy storage, which is where it was for about 8 years until I rediscovered it and decided to use it as my table top.
Well I always wished I could have made the super structure for my son back then but wasn't sure how to go about it and then it got forgotten when the deck got packed away. That is until I was browsing eBay one day and saw this cracked, stained and warped super structure for cheap and figured I give it a go at restoring it.


So, in anticipation of the arrival of the super structure, I decided to repaint the deck.

Yeah, that'll be very interesting, as will the attendee exclusives. I'm guessing Dee-Jay, Backstop and Overkill to be exclusives, maybe the concept case Laser Viper too. I'm also thinking that some of the ROC vehicles will be used.

Thanks Morgadee. I've been adding to the collection and remodling a bit so I'll have to post some updated pictures soon.

No kidding, with exchange/ shipping/insurance it's like $650 Canadian and that's not taking into consideration duty and taxes. I may just cherry pick like I did last year.

Yeah, I agree, they do whatever they want. I'm just saying that the club's story predates Battle Force's debut and takes place in the '80's so it wouldn't make sense to call them BF2050 or whatever if this is supposed to be before their Marvel debut.

The story the Club has concocted for them predates their comic debut. And that, I believe, is due to BF 2000 being killed off in the comic.

The first reveal is pretty well spot on, except for the helmet, which I feel is an improvement. The story looks like it takes place in Canada which is cool. Would be neat if they added one of the Canadian characters like Blackice to the set. Doubt it but that'd be a real cool homage to the Canadian Joecon crew!

Merry Christmas all! I'm still hunting for a few '82/'83 originals, organizing my joe rooms, working on a few customs and piecing together my custom Flagg. Hope your holidays are joyful.

I wasn't going to get this set originally but...

Not overly thrilled with the header on this one, wish there was a better design for the name of the set.
