All parts and accessories - Devilfish


The cover of Marvel's GI Joe Issue #47 is one of the greatest of the entire run. I remember the first time reading it when I was 10 years old, and not just for the dramatic turns the story takes. The cover just always struck me. Wanting to do a custom homage to this cover has been on my list of things to do for a long time, and it's finally complete, with a custom version of Beach Head, Hawk, Wet-Suit and the Devilfish. The main thing about this custom is that the missiles were relocated to where they were on the pre-production version of the toy, as you can see on the back of the Devilfish box, and indeed on the cover of #47. It was surprisingly easy - just cut of the tabs, and then cut some slits in the appropriate places on the sides. Since the tabs are already tapered, you can just push them into the slits from the bottom, and they stay in place with friction.
