ARAH customs out from hiding...

Mainframe · **Posted:** Wed Oct 12, 2011 6:13 am

Was cleaning up the room somewhat, and browsed through my old customs that were waiting for accessories / to be posted, so I finally got them accessories.

It was fun to see these customs that I did over the last decade. I'll probably try to get the other several dozens of LBCs painted somehow soon.

Anyway, picked a handful to clean up and post soon.

Left to Right:
Bomb Bay(a rough and tough marine)
Bombshell - based on the unproduced black female figure (airborne infantry)
Coastline - from the Brock Lee drawings. (coast guard)
Compass (arctic recon)
Deuce (SAS trooper, my James Bond joe)

2nd row, Left to right:
Hi-Fi - based on standawg's Rumble from the 1st group project. Although renamed since I have plans for the Rumble name
Hysteria (Alley-Viper Commander)
Totem
Turbocharger - just renamed. It was always named Turbo before, but I have new plans for the Turbo name. (part of Eco-Warriors)
Waverider - just renamed. It was always named High Tide before. but renamed to avoid having same name with the Phoenix Guard member / Copperhead. (part of Night Force)

comments will be appreciated. ;-)

Around the time joecustoms was having the Robot Rebellion group project, I started this War Machine custom, presumably for the GP, but it never got done in time. Just finished the figure.

I'll probably have him join Destro's IGs. I don't think I'll have this character fly like Marvel's War Machine.

Here's something I thought to try... found one of these puffy things connected to a keychain, and I thought they looked like joe hair...

The custom is tentatively named Zambooie. A dreadnok rockstar.

i kinda was wondering if i should trim it down, or just leave it whimsically as is. What do you think?

I love me some ARAH customs.

Turbo Charger is hands down my favorite. His unusual color scheme really stands out.

I totally agree.. There's just something plesent about Turbo...he pulls on all those Funskool, and Early Action Force chords...but could just as easily be a late 90's release.

I would trim the hair on Zambooie...as it stands I didn't realize there was actually a head there...

Turbocharger (or Turbo), is colored that way, brightly because he's part of the Eco-Warriors... he drives the Eco-Striker.

Great to see some ARAH customs on here. This is a great assortment of figures. I like that they are all orignal characters. Deuce, Turbocharger, and Waverider are my favs from this group. If they were released in stores I'd totally buy them!
I need a Turbocharger for my Eco Warriors

yup Turbo Charger for the win.

but I am a sucker for Orange and blue.

all of them are pretty good though I still think ARAH customs are funner then ME ones.

I like the use of the Jinx head on Hysteria. I really dig Bomb Bay and Waverider too.

Coastline - her torso is modded from a Pathfinder...
Compass - created based on one Find Your Fate book...
Deuce - just wanted a buddy for Big Ben...
Hi-Fi - is a deaf character...

Totem - is my custom driver for Fort America...
Turbocharger - i thought everyone would hate the colors (though i loved it)... thanks for the nice comments...
Waverider - colors was based Night Force Outback...
War Machine - i plan for him to drive a custom Iron Man Rolling HQ sometime...

Any other comments for Zambooie?

You know what this makes me miss SUPER bad? Those super cheap Corps! or whatever multipacks. I'd search for some on eBay but I don't know if thats who made em. I loved going to K-Mart and getting like 12 dudes for the price of 3 joes.

Can you post a decent scan of that custom file card back?

I know I've seen it in the gallery, but it was too small to make out any detail. I think it would be a great companion piece for this thread.
