I'm driving claudia/gabi crazy with this project already. She's told me to shut my hole more then once Maybe if I bug her enough I'll break her and she'll start to have Stockholm Syndrome. What black girl JOE characters can you guys think of? You know, I didn't notice that the series two shirt had clasps on the side! I'm going to pretend their not there and that IS a turtleneck.. yea that will work... It always does for the crapy parts of the movie. As for the other accessorsies, that's in progress. I thought those small cobra patches that popup on ebay all the time would work good for the clamps. I already have a thigh strap and holster (if I can find it) so I do plan on having that too. I'm a step ahead of you on the straps. those should be painted by today. the straps are farther apart then the figure for two rasons. 1. the way the belt's set right now there is no place to clamp them right at the buclke. 2. if I do the silver codpeace and move those in, they make an arrow going down to the crotch! I mean damn DR M thought he was hot stuff! I may skip the codpeace for the same reason, or maybe paint the silver stripes right onto the pants. the logo currently on the cest is only for reference. I'll have a better iron on one by the end. Anone know where I can fine good gauntlets and shin gaurds? Im giong to try the army navy store next week.

I scoured an online list of characters in every GI Joe incarnation this morning and came up with bupkus, sadly.
So one is quite overdue. I'm sure we'd all welcome a custom character in this case!

If you go by GI Joe reloaded, the new Doc is a black female.
Of course if you go by that, Duke is a Cobra leader too...

I have just trimmed my beard into a handlebar mustashe and dyed it black for good measure. I have officially taken this little game of dressup to far.
At least I already had the dye on hand, if I bought it just for this I would really be worried.

Indeed. Feels like Star Wars or Teen Titans on Friday, Joes on Saturday and Casual/Samurai Sunday.

Come to Megacon in your casual dress for our world famous Samurai Sunday's! "A desert you must eat with honor! (TM)"
I'm going to be entering the superhero contest on Friday so I'll be Dr M for at least half the day, but no matter how that turns out I'll be with you guys Saturday too.

I'm gonna do my best to be there so I can stand in the back and yell things like "That guy saved my life, I love that guy!!!" and "How can you not give Mr. Clean an award, c'mon he's wearing a cape, I love that guy!!!"
