guy casting parts for joes and some tfs

Postby jimsloth » Thu Apr 12, 2007 8:02 am

found this guys site off an ebay auction. Could be very helpful. Notice all names are changed slightly on his site so not to piss off Hasbro. TFs are Robot Changers, Snakeeyes is Commando, ext.

The heads at this site say they have a standard neck ball joint...I wonder if they would be the right scale for the "classics" line of tfs?

Have you ever tore apart a GI Joe? Every arm is made of at least five pieces. Looking at those pics I'm guessing thirty individually cast parts. Have you done casting yourself? If you aren't selling that many of them and you have to recoop the cost of the molds, I'd say $50 is a steal.

And considering those pics are without any painting required... If it weren't such a huge year for TFs and my funds aren't going to already be totally sapped I would have ordered him before I even showed you guys the link.

another thought on the guy. Imagine, you can get him and put him inside a tank! The pretender shell driving the alt mode :lol:

actually, if I did get him I'd probably try to devise some type of EXO squad type transformable armor. Pretenders the way they were never really suited me, but that could.

How much difference is there in size between a classic head vs an Alternator head? ( I don't have any Alts to compare)

I forgot to update this. I did get some parts from this guy. One snake-eyes head that I cut and carved apart. Plastic quality is really good. Better than real joes IMHO because it doesn't get all gummy when you go at it with rotary tools.
