here's a custom I made for Mayhem figure swap for my buddy Dacre

He was def my first G.I.joe growing up and I feel as a character he gets slept on so I wanted to do him some justice.

This is one of the best Hardballs I've seen. I think the added size really suits him since he has to lug around that big launcher and ammo. I like the orange highlights a lot too. Most of the body looks like a Rock figure, but what is that torso from?

This is really nice. Great update on a figure that I've always had a soft spot for (perhaps my love of baseball mitigated the goofiness of the concept). Is that a Ryan Howard head?

It is actually Battle Kata Roadblock's too. http://generalsjoes.com/images/reviews/ ... ock-05.jpg

That is a great take on him. I like the use of the McFarlane figure. It isn't Ryan Howard his ear flap would be on the other side since he bats lefty. Maybe Starlin Castro?

Ah, thanks Pluv. I see it now, looking more closely at mine. That's a really great base body for Hardball. I may have to borrow this custom.

Isn't there a Hank Aaron figure to make into Hardball?
I bought a Hardball figure for the sole purpose of doing mean and nasty things to to display my sincere dislike of a POS moderator on another site that uses HRdball as a screen name, but after getting him in hand, I found him to be a pretty cool figure, so as a figure, he survived not being used for mean and nasty things.
I love this custom, a likeness enough that he's instantly recognizable, but different enough that he looks like he was something Hasbro put out. Very nice.
