Looks great man, you've got a great eye for assembling parts and the painting is excellent as usual. I kinda like the head but it still reminds me of Patlabor, it works great for sigma 6 though.

WOW...That figure is just damn gorgeous!!! I am in love.

It is a very clean custom. Great parts assembly. Great paint apps.

Forget your customizing skills, I'm amazed at your abilty to reply to an entire thread in a single post.

SWARM is flat out amazing, a figure I'd like to see made in the 25th line (or maybe use it as a base for a TARGET figure). Not only is it an amazing figure that fits right into the GI Joe line, but I love jetpacks.

This is a fantastic custom. I wans't sold on the head at first either, but it has grown on me. It gives a sort of OMAC feel which is perfect. The blening of the Microman parts is perfect. They look like they were made for that figure as does the Iron Man chest armor. I actually thought they were sculpted on at first.

The highlight for me is the lighting. I've been trying to figure out ways to do what you and several others have done in bigger scales with the light eyes and weapons and what not. The back pack does a great job of concealling the light up mechanism while retaining playability. If only technology could move a little faster so we could have even smaller batteries and have light up features all over a 3 3/4" figure.

You mentioned whipping up a few Joe customs. When can we expect to see the others? Oh, and welcome aboard.

Hey, alright, more replies!

Yeah I had some time on my hands to reply to everyone. Right now I'm kinda busy so here's the nutshell version!

Thank you, thank you, thank you all. There's new microswitches and tech like that out, it's just not available to the general public at radioshack. And we're going to need a more high tech way of soldering the smaller we get. Right now it's a pretty delicate thing.

I have more joe customs in the works, snagged some Star Wars assassin droids and I have plans to turn them into Joe BATs, called C.O.M.B.A.T.s like my Sigma 6 custom of the same name: http://www.angelfire.com/mech/jinsaotom ... OMBAT.html

I just got a project from Toyfare to do and some Sigma 6 video game customs were requested, but I'm pretty sure I can squeeze some new Joe customs out!
