Are GI Joes easy to customize?

[White Line Nightmare]

You'd really have to sit down and try to match pieces together.

The legs wouldn't be too much of a problem, since they're constructed the same way. One slight thing may be the "Short Torso, Long Legs Syndrome" that the new Joes have compared to the more realistically-proportioned Real American Hero (RAH) Joes.

Some new arms fit on old bodies and some old arms fit on new bodies, and the heads are a mixed bag. Post-1985, Joe heads are all ball-jointed. Some old heads may require mods to fit new bodies and vice-versa.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">WOW! those Joe customs are bad ass! I think the makers of GI Joe should take a look at some of those customs as ideas for new figures. Very cool creative stuff there! Wish I had the talent to do some of that stuff.

I am a kid at heart with the 3.75" GI Joes. Those little guys were my favorite toy as a child.

I have seem some badass customs of 6" joes and would LOVE to see an official line of 6" joes.
