CC4:D10 – Collecting Customs
While many G.I. Joe fans are avid collectors of the mass-produced figures, very few are collectors of custom figures.

Checkout an interview with mutt as he discusses some of the aspects of Collecting Customs.

It would be nice to know the name and customizer of each custom. Because they rock!

First pic I did the Bombadier custom, second from the right
Second pic I did four pilots on the right. First is the last figure on the right, then the one behind him, and the two next to him.
Fourth pic I did the seven Flagg Crewmen.

i tell you what I've seen some customs here on JC that I would buy in a heart beat. There's one seller on ebay called "Mindbender Customs" that always has some cool customs.
For example a 25th Arch Angel Gabriel Custom

Very interesting read. I've been wondering what would make someone, not necessarily mutt, spend the big money I've seen some of Jin Saotome or 2dtoys go for on ebay.

I do not collect customs, but I have a few in my collection:

I have two from Posionblades "trade a custom" round robin (only 1 pictured), and I have three from two different secret santa's:

I have a group of custom Air Patrol guys I got for like 5 bucks on ebay. I had planned to finish off the set, never got around to it, but I like them.

and I have a group that I picked up at JC Con south from Beav's "everything must go" table:

I'll work on getting single pics of each custom. I think there is around 50 of so of them. And I'll put who did them by the ones I can remember.

And John I'm still waiting on the rest of the desert guys

I also need you to fix mutt's feet.
