My 14yr old daughter Selina ( Little GIJOEY) is addicted to the game Gears of War and requested a figure.
I made her pick out the parts and I assembled and painted them. It's not meant to be one particular character or outfit but a combo. I know it looks a little like Dizzy and that's why she chose it for the custom. I made the head back when SHS Logan first came out.

I know the guns aren't an exact match but they are pretty close.

Cool looking figure. The only thing is that hat- looks way to small. Maybe that's the look??

I've never played the game so I dont have a clue of what any of the characters are supposed to look like, But that is one cool figure whatever it is from.

Are the bottom legs attached, or do they just slip over some other legs? And what are they from?

The legs are 1:144 scale gundam right? They look surprisingly good with the joe body. Fun custom all around.

Everything looks great besides the small hat, tell Lil' Joey she has a good eye for parts and characters, nice work Joe.

Thanks for the comments guys.
The legs are Gundam and not removable.
The hat is a little small and looks smaller the way the pictures were taken. I blame the sculptor that made the SHS Logan head.
Did any of you notice that was the head we used?

Nice custom figure!! I've seen the Gears of War games and always wanted to see them in 3.75" vs the large size for sale. That's not a bad job!!

is it a namor head?

I like the hat, enough guns, you can wear whatever hat you want, ask Jayne Cobb.

Thanks again for the comments.
I added a handle to the shotgun and gave him a kickass gun courtesy of Marauder inc.

Nope, same hat diffrent angle.

It's funny- that hat does look bigger from those angles. Much better.

Joe the figure looks a ton better in the last set of pics, just from getting a better feel for the size of the hat. I recognized it as the Logan head, and you've definitely made it something better here.

The legs are inspired and really help give the GOW look. The armor and color schemes are well done, but the weapons choices, and the weapon pack on the back are inspired. What did you use/how did you make that backpack?
