Here's what I want to use for my Joe version of Chewbacca.

That is just so creative. I've made tons customs but never gone the same route as you. You sir, inspire me. Good on ya! :)
-
well thank you, is so much fun to do. I'll try to keep you updated on the rest of the line ;-)
-
ok, since i already did a Xwing/Stystriker for Luke, i need to have a ride for Han and chewie.
I tought of using the c-130 form true heros, but I would like to have something more in line with the look of the original Millenium falcon.
so here a crazy idea i have. Not sure how you feel about this but here goes.
I used an old vintage falcon and mounted the canon and the treads from the grizzly tank. it looks kind of scary ;-)
what do you think ? Am I going in a wring direction, Should I stick to an "Air ride" ?

looks stupid.
and i appreciate that this is a comment from a fan of a line which includes the FANG, FANG II, HISS, HAVOC and the STUN...
-
hahahaha, that's honest ;-)
-
I like the top tank on the Falcon... but not too sure about the wheels idea under.
Anyway, I'm still a big fan of your X-Wing/Skystricker crossover idea!

Updated picture test shot with photoshop for Han Solo. I used a Duke Renegades with Head, belt and vest from Han Solo Endor Vintage line,

original no photoshop

Even the original, without photoshop has it's own charm.
-
First, excellent work with the figures. I especially love the Chewbacca using Volstagg from the Thor movie line.
As for the Falcon, sorry to say this but.....KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!!!!
It might work as some sort of mobile bunker/base thing, but as a ride for Han/Chewie I just can't see it working. I think part of it is you're trying to mesh vastly different vehicles/esthetics as well as ground/air/space/sea vehicles. I think it is a case of too much, when something simpler might work.
-
I want to see what you can do with Vader, Boba Fett and just to make it interesting, Dengar and Bossk. ;)

IG-88

;-) the list can go on and on ;-)

;-) the list can go on and on ;-)
Jawa. ;)

here he is, again, test shot picture. He's not finished naturally. I'll add some pouches, grenades, etc... and a jetpack ;-)
So the big question, with or without an helmet. if with, wich one to use ? I don't want to use a Fett helmet, it would be to easy ;-)

Re: the M Falcon - what about if you put the gun in the space between the two "nose pieces" of the falcon. It could swivel up and down and may not seem so 'stuck on' or out of place.
Whatever you do, I expect it will exceed everyone's expectations. Your custom vehicles thus far have been professional quality.
-
What if you used a BAT's head or Matt tracker's head for your Boba Fett?
BTW, all your customs are amazing.
If you want to give Bubba Fred a transport, i believe that the 1987 Cobra Wolf would make an excellent frame to start working from, especially with the domed shape of the canopy that reminds of the Slave I.
As for the Falcon, my comments are mainly the same as some here, except that I'll add that the beauty of the exercise since you started is that you showed us how you greatly translate and cross Star Wars mythos with Gi joe toys, giving very interesting results. The cross between an actual Falcon and a Grizzly tank is not what I expected. I was more expecting you to take maybe anything but an actual Falcon's shell.
-
I'm in favor of the original helmet. Just put it under his left arm. Are you going to give him a jet pack?
-
OK , i tried a couple of helmet tonight, VIper, BAT, Matt Tracker, Resolute soldier, Jango Fett, Clone Soldiers, etc, etc, etc...
And I think I found what i was looking for, clone commando Scorch.
here's the result, test shots for paint design in photoshop

here's what i just did for the jetpack, when i was a kid i used this as a jetpack so it was natural for me to use it for BF
(http://www.buvezentous.com/ian/jetpack.jpg)
-
Here he is, Robert A. Fetch
i'm probably not the only one to love BF, so it was a natural to make a Joe/Cobra version of him for my Joe/SW crossovers. He's very close to an orignal BF, design speaking and that's perfect with me ;-)
I couldn't decide wich head to use so I did 2 with the helmet.
Parts used :
- Body : 30th ann. Iron Grenadiers
- 1st Head : Renegades Firefly
- 2nd Head : Jango Fett Clone
- Helmet : Scorch Clone Commando
- Jet pack : 25th ann. Cobra Eels backpack with missile head from Renegades Firefly
So what do you think of him ?

Here's my version of Joe/SW crossover of Vader, Han and Chewie
and a group shot so far in my crossover project

That is an AWESOME Vader! The finished "Chewie" took me by surprise (I literally laughed out loud - but it's good).
If I might suggest an alternative to the Millenium Falcon design, the 1988 Cobra BUGG has the size and asymmetry already. If you put the MF's spiderweb cockpit frame over the BUGG's bubble glass and replace one of the top guns with a round radar dish, you'll see what I mean.

So cobra has a Baroness now the Joes have a Princess
Here she is, Princess Leia Joe version Endor design inspiration

well this wasn't easy for me because I've already done over a dozen Joe/SW crossovers. I wanted to do something creative and original, so here he is
Joseph A. Badahott
Joseph is a Romanian famous crime lord gangster. He as a fortified house in the middle of the Carpathian Mountains where he offers sexual slaves to anybody willing to pay.
J.A. Badahott takes real pleasure in gambling and torturing local villagers and has a personal army of hired criminals, assassins and bodyguards to operate his criminal empire.

Not an easy decision when i've made so many joe/sw crossover customs in the past months. Here's my vision of a Joe version of Yoda The Lost Master
