GI Joe OG13 series customs & kitbashes pt. 1

[@manofaction1807]

YOU did exactly what I want from these guys. I only want the OG 13, and a couple of cobra guys.

[@decadentdave]

I’m thinking of using a Black Series Lando Calrissian head for Stalker

[@nicholasbabilonia134]

Thanks for the idea love your customs. I do the same.

[@namelessjedi2242]

Young Stalker looks great, that’s what I was hoping we’d get. They all look good.

[@Sabir_DelNorte]

Very impressive customs of the OG 13 shown so far. Never even recalled seeing Hawk as a blond though I’ve heard people mention he had the cover girl blond and brunette switcharoo treatment I didn’t even recall him as a blond in the 80s toy line but I don’t think I ever had all the OG-13 tbh. Look forward to more customs videos and explanations of how you made them look so great because your customs are incredible! Thank you for the video

[@tonys_figs]

Thank you Sabir! Hawk was blonde in the comics.

[@Sabir_DelNorte]

@@tonys_figs I see, and that’s another world of Joe I don’t really know. I’m mainly a Sunbow, O-Ring Joes, and the Resolute/Renegades Joe man. Cobra La wasn’t my jam really but if they make them ultimately and I like the La line of Joe then I’ll get those. Would be cool to see them eventually make 6 in figures in some of their early printed incarnations which I guess they have with retro carded Joes in the pipeline and already out. Wonder why they held off on a blond version of Abernathy for as long as they have. Excellent customs. That Forge guy, I was curious what people was doing with his bright read head band 😆 I have him as one of my custom Parth Varma bucks as a larger sub team of Parth Varma bucks with different heads or custom Joe’s in my collection. I got a few M’baku’s that got the Parth Varma buck too (I bought multiple) of him cause I saw him as an Army Builder like Grunt

[@Sabir_DelNorte]

@@tonys_figs the Hawk head sculpt you got I think I missed that train 😆 it’s probably 100+ for that figure now. I did copy your head swap out go to for Sgt Stalker though, thanks for that recommendation! I also got the Kilmonger as a custom Joe/Grunt (he needs some paint work) and the Chadwick black panther head sculpt as one of my extra custom Sgt stalkers also they work well. Sometimes they don’t, I think it’s trial and error. I used Hydra from the ML line for an unmasked Valkrye but she’s a bigger buck than the Valkyrie buck is so it’s one of those proportioned kind of issues, it’s not that bad but you can tell the head is for a bit larger female buck 😆

[@cplfelks3427]

I over looked Ross for Stalker man that was insane. They look amazing original OG hasbro not helping themselves at times Great review

[@paisano777]

I did not even recognize Mordo head sculpt, looks completely different with the mustache, good job!

[@teslasuperdestinations]

OMG the Forge head!

[@WraithMace]

sweet the OGs love these sir!

[@Woody_222]

Nice job Tony love the stalker how you switched up the head to make him look younger. Keep up the good work brother . Can’t wait to see what you did the next four.

[@tonys_figs]

Thanks! Will do bro

[@mrroper7973]

Boom! Sounds easy nut. I’m swapping stalkers neck/head on Dusty’s body 🤞🏽it’s a fit. Thanks for the knowledge much appreciated 🙏🏽👊🏽

[@thousandwolves952]

Very good review i was on the fence to paint stalkers gear black but after seeing yours i pulled the trigger .Now he is a perfect 9 out of ten..cheers

[@Blitz0065]

I like the Stalker gear repaint. I have to do it now.

[@ShaneBrayla-ed9qz]

Dude that Hawk and Zap are str8 fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@The_Rage_Kage]

These are pretty slick. I'd have used the harness from Dusty for Zap instead of the ML one. I have to say though I think the Grand Slam you made is my favorite custom you've done, that was some damn fine work.

[@tonys_figs]

Thanks so much! I just might change that harness on ol Zap, as his lil figure did have the strap going across his chest like Short Fuze, but the comic did not. Weird 😆

[@jamesmiller6627]

Yup. That's what I used for both my Zap and Short Fuse. Just painted them the appropriate colors. Brown for Zap and Black for Short Fuse. I even painted the two ammo pouches OD green on both sets as that would have been 1980s correct. Love how they turned out and have Tony to thank for it!

[@gazz_N7]

Super cool stuff!!! They look great. That simply to take the camo off, cool! Thanks for the video!!

[@bjpalm1994]

Nice! Sweet customs!🔥🔥 I’ve been saying that I hope they release an “Original 13” box set but I doubt they’ll look as dope as these. Great stuff!👍🏾👍🏾

[@thelazymercenary]

Love the OG13! Can’t wait for the LRRP set!

[@tonys_figs]

Stay tuned, they are coming after the OG13!

Love your work brother! Keep those videos coming!

You know it! As long as u can dig em, Ill keep it going brother.

[@LandofMert76]

would have been interesting to use the official Hawk head, but painted blonde.

[@tonys_figs]

I still might do that, but only have 1 Hawk at the moment.

[@VernRants]

Right on!

[@jonkane1312]

Yo these bad boys look good!

[@gunbunnycustoms4302]

Great vid! I just have grand slam and steeler left for my og line up… I got the steeler load out from gridiron, just need to put it on

[@tonys_figs]

Gracias mi hermano! We still need to do our custom/painting thang.

[@gunbunnycustoms4302]

@@tonys_figs we do!! My joe room is almost totally moved in!

[@beesbattlegrounds]

They look so clean!

[@tonys_figs]

Thank u brother Bobby!

[@PA-wf8ws]

I love the look of Grunt’s new helmet. …It looks like it’s color-matched pretty good to Zap’s body color - How does that helmet look on him?

[@tonys_figs]

It looks good and I might get another one.

[@davidr8389]

Great video

[@mamunestor]

You could say OG 15 with the retcons. Sparks and Shooter were retconned to be there at the beginning. 😂

[@tonys_figs]

Haha, right?

[@podcastfromthepit3132]

Great video you are a artist

[@mrroper7973]

Great work as always Tony! Tell me is there a way for me to get the figures complete neck out to swap. I’m trying to make a stalker and dusty kit bash. I want to put stockers neck and head on Dusty‘s body. How do I go about that

[@tonys_figs]

I use a heat gun or really warm water. Heat up the necks and work them off the peg, they will come off. Not sure if they will be the same size.

[@DownSouth7Seven]

Is Zap a self-portrait? 😂 They look great can't wait to see more! 👊🏻

[@tonys_figs]

If he had a goatee and a bald head brother! 🤣

[@jamesmiller6627]

HA!

[@GeekFusion_TV]

Looks awesome! Great vid!

Thanks so much bud!

[@Enewtabie]

These look great. 😎😎

Glad you like them!

[@yellowgut]

Love it!!

[@batandjoefan8108]

I’ve done my own Zap and Short Fuze and will do a Steeler, but I am stumped on Flash and Grand Slam so if you make those I would be very interested in how you did it.

[@tonys_figs]

Really soon man! Thank u so much for watching!

So dope fam!

[@tonys_figs]

My bro, thank u!

[@abide.n934]

Awesome figures! I got the same youthful Stalker head But it sits to high on the neck Making his neck look long Did you have to drill a hole deeper in the youthful Stalker head to make in sit better? Thank you

[@tonys_figs]

@@abide.n934 Yup, dremeled a deeper hole.

[@abide.n934]

@@tonys_figs thank you !

[@comicbookbin]

What size drill do you use to drill the Marvel Legends heads so they sit lower on the neck pegs? Great review by the way!

[@tonys_figs]

I use a few different bits for my Dremel. I'll do a video on it soon. I could also DM you.

[@hyperbomb1985]

When you remove the paint, do you have to wipe the chemical away with water right away to not eat at the olive paint? Thx

[@tonys_figs]

No, after the windsor newton is used, It wont eat the plastic. I still wipe the excess tho

[@ToyKennections]

Tried to comment first but was too slow 😂
