MY CUSTOM QUICK REACTION FORCE!

There are some shots of my little special unit (more troopers will be added very soon!)










 









MY CUSTOM ACTION FIGURES: GUNG HO

If Mutt is one of my favourite character, Gung Ho surely could be at least the same for me. Or absolutely the best. Maybe for his brave soul, his behavior or other reason (he' s bald like me, lol!)
About my custom, I can say you that I gave him a new head from Bazooka 1993 (you can find here his original Hasbro's figure:    http://www.yojoe.com/action/93/bazooka3.shtml)
Then, I worked his head until to obtain his default bald head. Than, I create a new holster and a pair of swivel wrists to keep his assault rifle in the right, realistic  way. Finaly, a new touch of repaint!















MY CUSTOM ACTION FIGURES: MUTT

One favourite of mine, surely. Despite his ugly facial expression, I always loved this character. So I cusomized him to improve his "charisma". After created his own holster and swivel wrists, I gave him a new head (from Hasbro's Backblast 1989, resculpted in the hair by dremel working. Finaly, a full repaint!











MY CUSTOM ACTION FIGURES: LADY JAYE

Some time ago, I buyed some spare parts and, observing every piece, I decided to begin a new custom: Lady Jaye, with a new custom holster, swivel wrists and totally repainted!
























MY CUSTOM ACTION FIGURES: COVER GIRL

Who dare to say that 1984 Cover Girl is the ugliest GI Joe female operator? Well, the original could be a bit improved, so... I did it!
I took my "backup" 1983 Covergirl and I worked on her head, until to eliminate her sculpted hair. Than I sanded a bit her face and I gave her "new" hair (from 1984 Baroness). So I totally repainted her and I... felt in love with my new Covergirl!


























MY CUSTOM ACTION FIGURES: STORM SHADOW

In my own fantastic world, Storm Shadw is a GI Joe. And just because I want figures unmasked or without berets sculpted, I gave him a new head. From Hasbro' s original "Bullhorn", sanded and repainted.













Dai "Carmina Burana":

"Poiché provo nel mio animo un forte turbamento, al colmo dell'amarezza mi lamento di me stesso. Formato di materia assai leggera, mi sento simile ad una foglia con la quale gioca il vento. Mentre è proprio del saggio porre sulla roccia salde fondamenta, io stolto, mi paragono ad un fiume sempre in corsa che non si ferma mai sotto lo stesso cielo. Vado alla deriva come una nave priva di nocchiero, come un uccello che vaga per le vie del cielo; non c'è catena che mi trattenga, né chiave che mi rinchiuda, cerco i miei simili e mi unisco così ai malvagi. Condurre una vita austera è per me quasi impossibile; io amo infatti il gioco che mi piace più del miele. Qualunque impresa mi chieda Venere, che non risiede mai negli animi meschini, è una piacevole fatica. Percorro la via più facile com'è proprio dei giovani, e mi irretisco nei vizi scordando la virtù; più avido del piacere che della vita eterna, sono ormai morto nell'anima e curo solo il corpo."
