In 2008, the GI Joe Collector's Club released the SWAT 3-pack as an exclusive set at the international GI Joe Convention in Dallas. The 3-pack contained Long Arm, Lowlight and Shockwave and was pitted against Gristle and his Headhunters. This was a fun set in my opinion and I set out to recreate it in modern era parts that year. Looking back, this was one of my first large projects involving multiple figures. Although the customs are a bit dated now, the set is still fun and may merit a revisit in the future.

Although not a part of the original 3-pack, Barricade felt like a natural character to be included in the expanded set. His bunker busting skills could be put to good use in an urban environment.

To teach, improve, share, entertain and showcase the work of the customizing community.
