Day 30 - Finale Day 2 of 2!
"Dreadnok Rampage: Escapades in the Everglades" by Just Ian Customs!
"The 2004 G.I.Joe Convention "40 Years of Adventure" that took place in Orlando, FL. gave us one of the great “o-ring” Box set, the Dreadnok Rampage. Sadly, the only “o-ring” set I have is 2007 “Tanks for the Memories”."
"That being said, I wanted to create a modern version of this set adding missing key characters: Torch, Monkeywrench, Gnawgahyde and Zandar. I might add Zanya, Burn Out, Storm Rider, Kaos and Heartwrencher in the future, we never know."
"My biggest challenge was to stay as close as possible to the regular modern version. If some of the early 25th figure builds were not great, the famous Dreadnok Battle set that came out in 2011 was amazing. I was lucky enough to score a loose set many years ago, so I had most of the parts available. Only one problem… Zarana! That figure is hard to find and not cheap. Having her part of the set was essential to the project. Since I own the SDCC standard version and some parts of Zanya I managed to cast all the parts needed and created my own copy of Zarana. I also did a copy of Hardtop head FSS version and also Junkyard from the 25th anniversary figure."
"The Dreadhead head is a modified BFS Zorro head with accessories from MTF that gave them a very similar look to their “o-ring” counterparts."
"I hope you’ll enjoy these as much as it was fun (and painful) to make
