We hope you all have been enjoying your Independence Day Weekend! What better way to unwind on a Sunday afternoon than with all the amazing G.I.Joe Resurgence customs by Oreo Builder, Bucky and Dusty 79 that have been posted over the weekend!

Day 4 brought us Eagle Eye, a G.I.Joe Ranger.

From the desk of Bucky:
For Eagle Eye, I wanted a 15 minutes into the future type soldier, similar to the ghost recon games I always see artwork for. He went through several name changes and I went back and forth on them for the longest time. My initial Codename for him was Ironhide, as a nod to the fact that sometimes transformers and joes shared the same name. That didn't pan out though, as Ironhide is too familiar a transformer to get away with that. After many weeks and emails back and forth about the project, I sent a list to OB with several names on it, and he liked Eagle Eye the best, so Ironhide became Eagle Eye.

Day 5 introduced us to an updated G.I.Joe PAC/RAT (programmed Assault Computer/Rapid All Terrain) and Tracer

From the desk of Oreobuilder:
I always loved the PAC RATs when I was a kid. I had the missile launcher and the flamethrower back then. These days, the concept of remote-controlled battlefield robots is no longer sci-fi, it is entrenched in our everyday lives. I thought it would be good to include one in our line. I went with a vintage style for the robot itself while trying to modernize the operator. Tracer is loosely based on the ‘’Future Soldier’’ concept.

Finally, Day 6 brings us Deep Freeze, a G.I.Joe Extreme Cold Weather Trooper!

From the desk of Bucky:
Deep freeze was figure zero for me, the first kitbash/idea I had made while still hammering out details of how we were going to go about the project. A very simple kitbash, that stayed very simple til almost the end when I added some of the ammo clips and other do-dads to the vest. While an easy build, Trekker's filecard helped flesh him out so he didn't just become another "snow guy".
