Wow, this month sure flew by! It feels like just yesterday we were introduced to the G.I.Joe Resurgence Custom Project. I want to take a moment and tip my hat to Oreo Builder, Dusty 79, Bucky and all of those included with this project, as it's been a fun ride all month long!
Now, let's get down to business (and wait until you see todays offering!) - ---------- Day 28 brought us even more classic updated goodness in the form of the Jungle Fox with Skidmark and none other than the G.I.Joe Commanding Officer, Hawk! From the desk of Bucky: The Jungle Fox was one of the first vehicles I had in mind in the infancy of the project, when it was still "project 96". As one of my favorite vehicles as a child, it was something I had long thought about painting up, but never had a real good reason until the project came along. Skidmark follows a very popular recipe, one of those figures that is so easy to make that everybody should do it. Hawk was the last figure I made, at the last minute. As I was reading all the filecards that GI Trekker and Justin (generalsjoes.com) had written up, as well as the tagline Oreobuilder had wrote, Hawk was mentioned a lot, yet we had no representation. I slapped the body together, made sure that the paint wouldn't chip, and borrowed the head from Dusty79's Throttle figure. ---------- Day 29 was interesting. Why so? Because it brought us two characters that have been done to absolute death, yet look, feel and fit absolutely perfectly within this project. It's been a long time since I've been able to say "OMG WANT!" when it comes to these two names. Check out Cobra Commander in Ceremonial Battle Armor and Duke! From the desk of Oreobuilder: When Bucky and I started brainstorming for this project, we had a bunch of new characters on our list. We felt that bringing in new blood was a way to refresh GI Joe. However, some characters are so deeply associated to the brand, that we could not bypass them. Cobra Commander and Duke are two such characters. However, since we have been getting so many CCs and Dukes in the last few years, we thought that they could be mail away exclusives instead. That way, they would be available, but they would not clog up pegs. I have had the parts for this version of Cobra Commander sitting in a bin waiting to be painted for a couple of years. When we decided to add some old favorites to our line plan, Cobra Commander (and a slew of other figures) finally got put onto the list of custom priorities. From the desk of Bucky: Mail away Duke was another figure slated for "Project: 96". He was to be a repainted version of the 91 Duke. Once we started to shift gears, it gave me a little more freedom as to how to do his look right. The figure is still loosely based on the 91 version color wise, seen in this photo. ---------- Now, are you ready for something beyond awesome? Well then check out todays offering...the Foxtrot Class G.I.Joe Orca with Riptide (LCV Operator) and Broadside (LCV Gunner)! My thoughts? BA-NANAS. From the desk of Oreobuilder: Last year, a friend of mine spotted the Playmobil Ferry and suggested it would make a good GI Joe Landing Craft. At the time, I had just finished my GI Joe Train, so I was not in the mood to start another largish vehicle project. Still, when I saw the set at a good price, I picked one up. I unboxed it and fiddled around with it a bit, but by that time, other projects, namely the 50th Anniversary Tribute and Project New Sculpt, were in full swing, so the Landing Craft project got put on ice. In March, Bucky and I started brainstorming for this project. The landing craft was in the back on my mind and I was not sure I wanted to do it, but I decided that this was a great opportunity to get off my butt and get it done. I’m glad I did, I’m really happy with the way it turned out. For the drivers, my goal was to do as little painting as possible, so I tried to choose my parts wisely. ---------- Best part? There's still one day left! Join us after the break to check out all of the G.I.Joe Resurgence offerings from Day 1 until now and check back tomorrow for the Grand Finale!... [Read More] |

The recently released Acid Rain Raptor Speeder Mk I has begun to find its way in to the hands of happy collectors. One of those collectors, Hisstank.com forum member zerogouki has shared an amazing assortment of images of the Raptor with us and in turn, we wanted to share them with you!
In case you haven't been following the Acid Rain World, here's a description of the Raptor from our friend and AR creator, Mr. Kit Lau - Raptor is the nickname given to the Speeder Mk I by the Marine Soldiers. The production of Raptor originated from the defects and inadequacies of the ST-1 Stronghold. Since the time that the Stronghold was mass produced, several severe problems were identified. Although Strongholds firepower is particularly strong, its speed and defensive ability have become its fatal flaw. To cope with the anti-tank soldiers and the above problems, the strategy of the Marines must be adjusted. As such, an easy to control, flexible, fast and with a certain standard of firepower machine guard came to exist. With the development of Speeder Mk. II has become mature, the Raptor has become less active on the battlefield. Given it’s still reliable nature, it can be found on many battlefields, although it is not the main combat platform used. ----- You can check out a full gallery here - Acid Rain Raptor Speeder Mk I Photography You can discuss all things Acid Rain with us after the break....

Well friends, the time we've all been dreading is finally here...the last day of the G.I.Joe Resurgence project. Let me start off by once again tipping my hat to Oreo Builder, Dusty 79, Bucky and all of those included with this project, as it's been a fun ride all month long!
Team wrapped up the month long custom project in the most fitting way possible...with a catalog insert for both the "Main Assortment Figures" and the "Mail In Premium Figures" - Both are executed flawlessly. The post ahead is long, but well worth the read. Check it out - ---------- We have a few items on the menu today. First, with Resurgence being a mock GI Joe line, we thought that wrapping up the project with vintage-style catalogs - one for the main line and one for the mail away products - would be fun. Thanks to Mayor and J_Man from JoeCustoms.com, that became possible. Second item, make sure to tune in tomorrow, we'll have some WIP pictures to show off Last item, but most important, we have a special treat. Lifeline_MD, the author of GIJoe: Heroes and Terrorists, an ongoing fanfic saga on Hisstank.com was so inspired by Resurgence that he offered to write a short story for a new short story based on its characters and storyline. We published it here: G.I.Joe Resurgence - The Break of Peace It is a fantastic read and we are proud and honored that Lilfeline_MD took the time and effort to put this together. When Bucky and I started ‘’Project 96’’our goal was to do something as different as possible, something that had a feel to it that's hard to describe. We wanted to capture the lighting in a bottle that the original line had, with unique looking characters, a fun storyline and different personalities for each of them. The idea was to mimic an 80's release, with multiple specialties and new figures. Resurgence became an experiment is expanding the GI Joe universe. We tried something new by structuring our project around a mock product launch. We made enough customs to fill a month, along with filecards, concept art, packaging mock-ups and catalogues to flesh out our pretend line. We structured our entire project around 20 or so new unknown characters. Whether we accomplished what we set out to do or not, we’ll leave that up to you guys. Like we said in our intro, sometimes, in customs like in life, we don’t end up where we thought we would when we started. What started as a project between two customizing buddies (Bucky and I) turned into one of the largest collaborative custom efforts that I have ever seen online. Kirk Bozigian and Patrick Stewart consulted early in the project and gave us some great advice about specialties and colors. Dusty79 came onboard to help fill some of the empty roster spots and in the process has become a full partner four our next project. G1Trekker (Thomas Wheeler) and Justin over at generalsjoes.com really helped us with the characterization of each custom character. They really put effort into it, sometimes only getting a picture and a name, sometimes a rough draft of what the character was about. Justin obviously loves the brand, as does Trekker, whom helped write the filecards from the re-launch of ARAH back at the turn of the century, and loves to do so. Trekker writes for a living, and is available for hire to write if anybody wants to get in touch with him. Those guys really hit a home run with the filecards. Mayor and J_Man put together our catalogues and tied everything together. Once the reveals started, Sam Panico - a creative designer/writer/designer for the last twenty some years and for various brands - was inspired by some of our characters and offered to come aboard to create some awesome packaging art and box mock-ups. To all our collaborators, for all you input, advice, time, effort and hard work, you have our sincerest thanks and appreciation. Each one of you added valuable pieces to this gigantic puzzle. And to all who tuned in daily, peeked in once in a while, left comments or not, thank you for the support, constructive feedback and comments. We appreciate all of it. See you guys in October! Bucky, Dusty79 and Oreobuilder ... [Read More] |

Their goal is anyone's guess, but as Zartan impersonates a seemingly endless parade of friends-turned-enemies, Storm Shadow makes his steady, deadly way towards their objective... Can G.I.

Everybody's talking about Chris Pratt these days. Why? Because he's the great Star-Lord.
Seriously though, critics and fans are phrasing his role in worldwide hit; Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy. But he recently revealed a secret; He has auditioned for G. I. Joe: Retaliation. Speaking to Esquire, the actor said… "When Guardians of the Galaxy was pitched to me, I said, "I don't think so." I just didn't picture myself getting the role. I didn't want to go and embarrass myself like I did when I auditioned for G.I. Joe a couple of years previously. I went in there, and halfway through I saw the director's eyes just glaze over. It made sense—I was a little heavy and out of shape. I was not gonna play someone from G.I. Joe. I did not look like a G.I. Joe action figure come to life." We do not know whether he'll return, it's highly unlikely. But who knows? Maybe he will, may be he won't.... [Read More] |
