Starbuck's ME updates: The 2000's

starbuck · **Joined:** Thu Aug 25, 2011 3:25 pm

Earlier this year i completed a major goal, having at least one modern era version of every ARAH Joe character. I recently decided to push forward and have every o-ring Joe from the 2000's as well.

I wanted most of these to resemble Retaliation figures, as they were going to be a part of that group of Joes, but some definitely have a more 25th look to them.

While the majority are straight updates, trying to match colors and details of the original characters, some are pretty far away from the original design.

Here's my Steel Brigade... Uh... Brigade!

Mixed in are Checkpoint, Rook and Red Zone.

Crossfire, Sidetrack and G.I. Jane.

With Jane, i just went with an original outfit, and she was also an experiment to see what Joe legs looked like on an Avengers Black Widow torso.

Stop it, Chris, stop it right now. This thread geeks me out as bad as Oreobuilder's Battle Corps month did, maybe even more. I canNOT handle so much awesomeness in rapid succession like this.

This thread is so full of :awesome:

I mean, your paint apps are so clean, I can totally picture these on the shelf. That Barrel Roll especially has me geeking out.

Some really cool, clever stuff here.

I'm only a little disappointed that you transgendered Crosshair, because that's probably one of my favorite designs from that era and I would love to see what you did with a more straight-up interpretation.

But that's a pretty minor complaint that takes nothing away from the great work you've done.

Highlights for me are Anti-Venom Barricade, Cringer Jinx, Med Alert, Hi Tech, and Wet Down. I like the original figures and I think you did those a ton of justice...no, that isn't right, improved beyond belief is more apt.
