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?

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 ?

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.
