As the only Multi-National team we each decided that it would be best to do a custom in the Figure area we were most comfortable using, so there is a mix of ARAH and 25th figures for our figure selections.

Mountain Warfare By Soulgem
Code name: Front Point

Always ready with a solution to any possible situation, a mountain climber comes prepared for the worst. That was also one of the reasons Alexander Blanchard was contacted when the G.I.Joe went looking for a mountain trooper.

At age 6 he started mountain climbing, when he was 8 he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, at the age of 10 climbed Mt. Elbrus on his 10th birthday. By the time he was 16 he had completed the Seven Summits challenge, a task most climbers can't complete in a lifetime. He is an expert with all conventional fire arms, and a highly skilled survivalist, Front Point is a valuable asset in G.I.Joe's battle against the evil forces of Cobra.


Parts and accessories:

Head: Clutch v3
Chest: Capt. Grid-Iron
Arms: Sneek Peak
Torso: Alpine
Legs: TF Outback

Machine Gun: Marauder
Ice Pick: Alpine
Backpack: Cobra viper pit
Black string







Cowboy Tex By Carnage717

For my custom I decided to go for a more authentic cowboy look as compared to a modern cowboy. I wanted to do a custom that would put my painting skils to the test so I opted fora more weathered look to his cloths like an Old Time Western Cowboy would have. The horse is just a standard issue PTE horse but he has been completely repainted and the PTE Saddles has been modified to give it stirups, a bunk roll and even a rifle sheath.

Parts and accessories:

Head: 25th Duke
Torso: 25th Duke
Legs: Shipwreck
Arms: 25th Ace

Accessories:
Holster: 25th Wilde Weasel
Hat(Modded): VvsV Wild Bill
Gun: unknown guns
Horse: PTE Horse and saddles.
Bunk roll: Starwars Jedi Robe
Gun Sheath and Stirups: Custom Made
