Every single one of us knows a Hanna Barbera character.

.Every.Single.One.Of.Us.

So, simply, this challenge is for you to pick a favorite Hanna Barbera character & bring it into the GI Joe Universe.

Here is a comprehensive list of Hanna Barbera Characters:

or, if none of those seem interesting, here is Grape Ape:

Battle Scarred; War is hell
To quote the great Keanu Reeves in The Replacements, "Pain heals. Chics dig scars. Glory...lasts forever."

This is a GP to focus on technique. Each person should pick 1 Figure, Vehicle, or Playset just as it was released by Hasbro and use that as a starting point. Then take it through a battle. Dent, Scar, Rust, Shoot, Burn, Cut, Tear, Torque, Rend, add some Grit, Grime, Dirt, Dust, Blood, Spit, Sweat and/or exposed bone or wires. Tell the story your Figure/Vehicle/Playset has been through via the Battle Scars it has accumulated.

Examples of what I'm thinking would be the Gundam Battle Scarred toy line, or Kevin Watt's Battle dammaged Hiss Tank: http://www.joecustoms.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=12761&hilit=+snake

The only restriction is to keep the base figures/vehicles/playset as actual released GI Joe product. However, using other toyline accessories or add ons is perfectly fine. The idea is to show what a production figure/vehicle/playset would look like after a major battle.

Deadline is Sunday, May 25th, at 11:59pm Pacific Standard Time

Now get to claiming what you will be working on so no one else can. - viewtopic.php?f=107&t=40255

JoeCustoms is proud to offer some very cool designs for a limited time. These are shirts you will not see anywhere else. We are only giving a short time to place your order. You will have until the first week of March to either post here or send an email to entrprsd"at"bellsouth.net. Obviously change the "at" to @. Please include your name and shirt size. We will need your mailing address and I think we all agree sending that through email would be better than posting. You will get a reply to let you know you are on the list!

These are promotional and help with the ins and outs of running the site. You may order all of the designs or just the ones you like. After the order process is closed, they will be printed and mailed to you. Prices are as listed:

PAY IT FORWARD: The expression is used to describe the concept of asking that a good deed be repaid by having it done for others instead.


Hey gang.
You may remember JoeCustoms launched this exact event a few years back. It was a howling success for many months, and what started as a small box of parts ended up somewhere around 20lbs before some one killed the project by keeping the box and not sending it on to the next person.

If you are a newer member, I'll 'splain how this project works: Members will sign up to participate based on the requirements listed below. I'll start the project off by filling a small box with custom fodder. Ill send the box to the first person on the list. When they receive it, they'll take out what they want, and replace it with fodder from their own parts box and send it on to the next person. And so on, and so on.

Due to problems that occurred last time, the rules will be a little different this time to make sure that the previous problems don't happen again. The goal is that we can keep this project going indefinitely. I'd like to see it continue for years if possible.

PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT

1.) We are limiting this project to 10 people at a time. First come, first to participate. Once the first 10 have participated, the box will come back to a JC representative and the process will continue with the next 10 people on the list. This keeps the project in motion, and better supervised.

2.) This project is limited to forums members that have been active the past 6 months only.

3.) To participate, PM Zombieguide your name, address, email and telephone #. We need to be able to contact people that hold up progress. Holding up progress means you won't be included in future PIF projects.

4.) Once the box comes, you'll have 7 days to go through it. Once you are done with it, you can log on to http://www.usps.com, and using their Priority Mail service, you can print out postage, with a tracking # and send it on to the next person. This way you can print your postage at home, and leave it for the mailman to pick up. "Can't make it to the post office" is not a valid excuse for holding up the project. If you know you'll have trouble committing to 7 days, then you may want to pass on this.

5.) Participation at this time is limited to the US. We're sorry but we don't want the customs procedures and additional postage to hold anything up this time around. If the project is successful there is the possibility international members will be included in the future.

6.) Please keep your takings and contribution limited to approx. a standard sandwich bag full. And please keep it limited to ONLY Hasbro GI JOE parts. No vehicle parts and NO JUNK! Include decent items that some one can actually use, and not as a dumping ground.

7.) To participate you need to agree to everything above.


If any of the above comes off as 'mean', we apologize. We see real potential to have a fun project that everyone can benefit from, but we need to be honest and straight forward to keep it going, keep it affordable for everyone, and most importantly KEEP IT MOVING.

This project will have its own dedicated thread in the Site Stuff section, so everyone can monitor progress and feel free to take photos and post it as it passes your hands. Ill post a video of what I'm sending out on day one.
