A long time ago, in a podcast studio far far away….
Kevin, Miggs, Mike and new guy Brian get nerdy with the force. Talkin’ ’bout Star Wars, Back to the Future, GI Joe, Legos and much more!
Give us a listen, why don’cha?
“The Siege Breakers are the GI Joe’s tactical urban infiltration team; composed of men and women who specialize in urban combat using stealth, subterfuge, sabotage, and guerrilla warfare in cities occupied by Cobra’s Dominion Forces.”
“I’ve wanted to do a Shockwave custom for what seems like forever… he has always been one of my favorite figures from the ARAH era. So when I set out to make an urban squad, Shockwave was a must-include… his SWAT background and DEF experience make him an ideal member of the Siege Breakers. For this custom, I started with his original bulky torso and a similar color scheme to Wreckage… but after a “short” break, I decided that he’d look too much like his Nightforce or Convention counterparts and set about to make some changes. I thought the Marauders vest would be ideal for a door-kicker, and so neeeded a slimmer torso to accomodate the vest. AVAC’s torso not only fit the size requirements, but gives the look of an armored BDU, imo. (hey, i’m no expert, lol) Then I decided to go with urban camo, just because I need to do more camo… and I think it turned out alright. There’s one or two tweaks I’d like to go back and do… but for now, it’s on to the next piece. Thanks for looking, I hope you enjoy. “

Custom Legends are back, baby! That’s right, your favorite quarterly Customs Contests have returned after a brief hiatus due to the untimely retiring of this contest’s founder, the unholy Byrnes. Now, ozzie92 has taken the reigns and dedicated the theme of this quarter’s contest, The Masters of Mayhem, to the big man himself!
Based on “About Byrnes” from his profile:
“I enjoy customizing figures from the Sci-Fi world such as Buck Rogers, Star Trek, Star Wars, Bladerunner, Mad Max and so on. Not really a GI Joe expert. Was into the toys when I was a kid in 82 and 83. Got hooked again on the 25th stuff.”
3rd Quarter’s Master of Mayhem contest will be calling for crossovers of Joes into alternate–but established–sci-fi universes and/or alternate–but established–sci-fi characters merging into Joe sub-groups (ex: BATS in Battlestar Galactica…Buck Rogers in Star Brigade).
Winner will receive a digital trophy and $25 Credit from Star Wars Geek Custom Supply Store!
