All Marauders Task Force Parts


This one is really just an experiment.

So, I started my Marauders/G.I.Joe customs project about six years ago. My mandate was to try to recreate as many G.I.Joe figures as possible using (mostly) Marauders Task Force action figure parts. If you know Marauders, you know that they call their different colored figures different "Ops" figures. The green figure is call "Field-Ops", the brown figure is called "Terra-Ops", so on and so forth.

Okay, so, in order to recreate G.I.Joe Blowtorch, you need to use the mostly yellow "Shock-Ops" figure. I don't think that the yellow figure was ever a big seller on the Marauders website, so I'm sure they just let the inventory deplete. Since I believe that the Marauders website will never stock any more yellow "Shock-Ops" figures, I wanted to see if I could do a Blowtorch kitbash using the newer (and more popular) red/white "Rescue-Ops" figure and paint the armor yellow. Sorta reverse colors or his away-jersey, guess. The result is nothing special, but I do not hate it. I do, however, now want some McDonalds.
