There are two different kinds of patterns. One is the type you're showing in that picture. But there's also a category of Items called "Patterns" that act just like any item, and can be attached by masking.

Yeah, I woke up this morning thinking about this and went "Duh!"

It's not the pattern that you can add to any item, it was the separate category.

This unproduced concept comes from a while back at the Facebook page for the upcoming 3 3/4 Inch Joe book. The figure has no name but looks like an Arctic figure despite being more colorful than the usual mostly-white figures are.

One of those unusual characters who crossed paths with G.I. Joe in the cartoon days, Honda Lou West was inside a truck when Cobra stole one of her food-hauling convoys. Here, I’m seeing Honda Lou joining G.I. Joe’s support staff, and I guess she’s kind of like a female Wild Bill.

After taking a hiatus from creating new HM customs, I finally had the chance to sit down and flesh out a character I've been puzzled about.

She is a member of the Oktober Guard, unknown specialty. I always wanted to have 'big girl' Russian type character and I finally got a handle on some background for her. She is sorta Pam Poovey-esque, being taller and bigger than typical Russian men, around 6 foot tall.

She is affectionately called "Matroyshka" after the Russian nesting dolls. I figure she acts and carries herself as someone smaller of stature.

Another update! These two concepts may be the start of more updates for the original thirteen Joes, some who have gotten new figures over the years, some who haven’t. We start with Zap and Short-Fuze.

OK, so I've been on an Oktober Guard kick as of late, and just finished another one.

I know this is Stormavik from the Sunbow cartoon, but I never saw him as this design, because literally I have never seen the cartoon (I have them, seen some episodes, but not the whole set).

I plan on making him a completely new character, along with the pink Daina.

Looking at his design, he reminds me of the Russian dancers that do the sabre dance or the knee bend one. I've looked up Russian dances and musical instruments and have quite a selection of possible codenames.

No idea what his specialty might be, but the Russian culture is filled with unique uniforms and costumes and I like the look.

Anybody that has any suggestions for a codename?





And just quickly did up a version of Sunbow Daina. She will be reused as a different character. Right now I have one named "Harvest" and she is an Intelligence Officer, so Sunbow Daina might be the option.

Finally crossed off one of my WIP efforts.

The Baroness

She was pretty much done. Added boots, shrunk them and colored them, added the background, and the earphone/mic.



I suppose I can re-use this for Chameleon and the Nightstalker, maybe Crimson Asp.

Finally got to Wreck-It Ralph the other day and decided Felix Fix-It Jr might work as a Navy Sailor or Seabee.

Whipped this up pretty quickly...
