GI Joe Scrap-Iron





Scrap-Iron is one of my all time favorite mercenaries who works for Cobra. It is my goal with GI Joe figure customs to create more modernized versions of the many characters without making them seem too cartoony or space man like. A little sci-fi is okay in my GI Joe universe, but they should all retain some sort of realistic, military like feel to them. With the parts and paint applications I have used here, I feel I have made a very appealing version of Scrap-Iron.

Star Wars The Secret Apprentice






Galen Marek was Darth Vader's secret apprentice in the popular video game The Force Unleashed. When fans finally got an action figure of him, of course, he wasn't accurate. First off, I sanded down his hair style and gave him a buzz cut. Then I swapped out his feet and painted everything to match how he appeared in the game. Now I have a Galen Marek that looks a whole lot more like Galen Marek.

Star Wars Luke Skywalker Jedi Master




















I've never really been a fan of Luke Skywalker, and have never seen an action figure of him I liked either. While reading about his adventures as a Jedi Master, I came across a drawing of him wearing traditional Jedi gear and knew I had to make one. To give him more of a Luke feel, I kept the black collar and glove he wore in the film. This version of Luke appeals to me more now, as he looks much more like that of a Jedi Knight.
