All parts: Calibos (Clash of the Titans line, Mattel)

I was six years old when the ARAH version of GI Joe was released in 1982. From that point on, I was a GI Joe fan above all else. As much as I loved Transformers and was interested in nearly every other toyline of the 80s, it was always GI Joe at the top. But the Joes were not my first 3-3/4" action figures. Before these Joes existed, I played with a variety of other toys of that scale, but they fell by the wayside when Snake-Eyes came on the scene. This project is intended to pay respect to these old toys, to restore some beat-up action figures and give them nice paint jobs, to let them know that they're still deserving of love too.

Calibos is painted to match his movie appearance more closely, and to add additional detail. I removed all of the paint from his left foot - the sculpt actually has him wearing a sandal with straps going up his leg, but it was painted as if it were just a boot. Lazy paint apps often Vince Colletta a sculptor's hard work, painting over details that someone made sure to include there.
