August 11th - Adventure People Frogman and Construction Workers

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image


The Adventure People Frogman was one of the later figures released in the original line. It did not include any accessories and was repaint of other diver figures. When picking parts, I wanted to avoid simply repainting a 25th Torpedo, so I changed things up with a different torso and arms. After that, I wanted to add some proper accessories. Now, I'm one figure closer to a complete modern Adventure People collection.

Parts
Head: 25th Torpedo
Torso: PoC Shock Trooper
Lower arms: RoC Duke
Upper legs: 25th Cobra Commander
Upper arms, lower legs: 25th Cobra Diver

In 2016, I made a bunch of customized Adventure People figures. Among them were Barney and Frank, the Construction workers. When I posted them, someone commented that I should make them their scaffolding to complete the original set. It took a little while to get back to this, but an online Playmobil sale allowed me to pick up a perfect scaffold to use with them. I painted the boards yellow to match the original toy and found Frank and Barney some accessories. Now, they are ready to get building.

Scaffolding: Playmobil repainted
Accessories: Various Playmobil and other lines

Changing gears from the Adventure People, here are a couple of Action Force customs to fill in my roster.

August 21st - Action Force Dolphin and Moondancer

Image

Image

Image

Image


In the UK, Zap was repainted as Dolphin, a member of a member of Q-Force, Action Force’s amphibious strike team. My version is a straight forward re-do of the original, including using a vintage style helmet.

Helmet: ARAH vintage Battle Gear
Visor: 25th Flash
Head: Retaliation Kwinn
Everything else: DG Duke V2


Image

Image

Image

Image


In the UK, Short-Fuze became Moondancer (version 2), a member of Action Force’s Space Force. My version is a straight forward re-do of the original, including using a vintage style helmet.

Helmet, visor: ARAH vintage Battle Gear
Everything else: DG Duke V2

Enjoy!

OB

Thanks! I have a few more Action Force after this guy coming (hopefully) this week.

SAS Squad Leader - Eagle

Image

Image

Image

Image


Eagle was part of SAS, Action Force’s special ops team. I tried to pick parts that best mimic the original’s look. I skipped the holster on his hip because there is already one on the vest.

Head: PTE (?)
Torso, arms: RoC Aqua Viper Officer
Legs: RoC Snake Eyes
Vest: ROC Pit Commando

Enjoy!

OB

September 2nd - Red Shadows Black Major, Red Jackal and Hyena

Image

Image

Image

Image


Red Jackal

Image

Image

I resisted making this custom for years as Destro is really recognizable and I believe that a repaint of him to make a different character is impossible. The repaint will always look like Destro. Still, while playing around with spare parts, I threw this guy together. It’s a simple recipe and one that other customizers have already probably done.

I figure he could be Destro’s cousin or uncle, someone who represents MARS to the Red Shadows so Destro himself can focus on selling weapons and keeping Cobra happy.

Head: Marvel Drax
Torso, arms: 25th Destro v1
Legs: 25th Destro (IG)


Hyena

Image

Image


This was a super simple custom inspired by RelenaWarcraft’s version. The custom only required removing the original Operation Crimson Sabotage stickers and replacing them with Reprolabels.

For a long time, I told myself that I would not make this custom. I felt that the HISS is too recognizable as Cobra’s weapon. Making it red did not change that fact. However, seeing RelenaWarcarft’s version as well as finally putting together a Red Jackal custom make me change my mind and take the plunge.

All: Operation Crimson Sabotage HISS with Toyhax labels


Black Major

Image

Image


My version is a straight forward re-do of the original and is heavily inspired by HypnoHustler’s excellent custom. I changed a few details to try to replicate the original figure as much as possible.

Head: MTF
Torso: ROC Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes
Legs: ROC Cobra Commander
Feet: DG Cobra Commander
Upper arms: 25th Duke
Lower arms: ROC Zartan
Cap: 25th Red Star

Jackal is such a tough character to do anything with. How do you do a version of a Destro repaint in black and red that isn't just Destro? I like the use of the Drax head, and your explanation to tie together the looks is as good as any I've heard.

The Hyena is great, and probably going to be stolen.

I really really like those Cobra Commander legs on the Major. I may have to change mine now, the slacks just fit for whatever reason.
