Custom 12" G.I. Joe Snake eyes

**TCM Hitchhiker** · February 13th, 2004, 03:14 AM

So, I am making a custom 12" Baroness, and while I was ordering parts for her, I thought I would order some other stuff, and make a couple other customs.

I have NEVER been happy with any of the Hasbro 12" Snake-Eyes figures, let alone any Snake-Eyes figures past the version 2, 3 3/4" Snake-Eyes. This figure is based on the version 2 Snake-Eyes.

I suppose I should say kit bashed, instead of custom, since I didn't do any sculpting, and very little painting. I painted his visor to look more old school, and I painted his sword. Everything, other than the body/head and jump suit are from other various Dragon and BBI 12" figures.

Let me know what you think.

Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow are two of my all-time favorite G.I. Joe characters!!! (And Firefly)

SWEET JOB!!! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

He kicks ass! Snakes looks much more realistic and streamlined now. Actually looks like it could easily be a movie version of the Snake Eyes character.

Baroness looks good so far- where'd you get that cobra emblem from (on her chest)?

Great job, TCM. NOW he looks like Snake Eyes, you really fixed him up right.

Thanks a lot you guys!

CM, the logo comes from a neckless that comes with the 12" Agent Faces figure.

I still need to add a knife to his left thigh, and need to get an UZI for him. But that stuff can wait.

Thanks pairadocs & S-Mart!

S-Mart, I have both a Baroness and a Zartan in the works. Baroness is looking great, and will be done as soon as her glasses get here, which should be tomorrow. I am not real happy with Zartan so far, and you will see why when I post pictures and explain. He doesn't look horrible, just not as authentic and old school as I would like.

doh. oh yeah, Zartan too!!

G.I Joe pretty much defined my childhood toy years....
