Post subject:  A combination of ideas (concept Shipwreck)
The Facebook GI Joe discussion group got all in a tizzy a few weeks ago (again) over some of the remaining as yet unreleased concept case figures (again), one of my favorites being that Shipwreck. I've always known how easy a custom it would be, so I finally got around to making one. Plus, a ways back, it occurred to me how blasted similar the drone that came with a few Retaliation figures kind of resembled the Condor. I mentioned it to my homies, and they were all " So make a Condor drone, dick." And I was all "I hate you guys and your fat face meat!" And then I set out to make one. I'll admit, I'm pretty happy how it came out, and I think it was a missed opportunity on Hasbro's part.

Excellent eye on the drone for the Condor. Shipwreck is cool, too. He has a real-world feel to him. Glad you lost the powder blue.

Looks cool I always think of shipwreck as an older guy. Long grey hair and a beard like some crazy fishermen.

That drone is a great idea.

That Condor drone is all kinds of nifty. Consider that idea flat out stolen already.

If that Shipwreck had been the Dollar General release, I would have bought every single one I saw ever. He'd be like ARAH Outback for parts.

Like the simple shipwreck. What is the base figure?

Also like the Condor. Are you going to make it split into 2 like the original?

Really clean work...Love the Condor Drone.

What you need to do now, Is figure out a way to Have the Condor Drop Drones instead of Bombs...Like it poops little Baby Condors as it flies over enemy territory.

Nice! I hadn't thought of the drone being shaped like the Condor.

Good work on Shippy, the TR base is perfect for this. So simple, yet effective. Love the baby Condor. Between that and the baby HISS that came with Ret Firefly, this could be a new thing: drones versions of iconic vehicles.

That is a Renegades Tunnel Rat with DG Shipwreck legs.

The hoop is part of a leg shackle from a Wolverine Origins Weapon X figure. He has also got min missiles and bombs courtesy 25A Destro, a Hypno Hustler suggestion that worked like aces.

Thanks guys!
