Great work on both of these. As always you found a way to make the characters new and vibrant. I really like your new views on all your customs.

I really like the character re-imaginings and Mirage's look is great (though I think I'd like to see a crossbones behind the skull to help banish the direct Punisher reference from my mind).

Double Blast feels about half right. From the waist up, I love him. But i'd prefer to see him in fatigue pants instead of jeans.

I'm a fan of all those lost/forgotten about 2000-2002 ARAHC Joes, so much potential for character expansions, totally open books. I've long been searching for the right angle to take on all of them to make them all truly individual to stand on their own as late additions to the Joe roster, finally I found the perfect opportunity for Double Blast. He really was just begging for some individuality.


I'm interested in all those characters too, I guess because I don't have most of them. I did modern versions of all of 'em, and they're in the gallery, except for Sidetrack, who I want to redo. I stuck closer to the original Double Blast than you did, but I really like your take. He totally stands apart from Roadblock now.

That IG/Punisher/Mirage concept is really different, but it makes for a bad-ass looking figure. Really nice work on the skull and camo.

Hasbro's making a new version of White Out with that POC version of the Snow Cat but I'm curious if it'll be the same character (Lenny Lee III, AFN&TR guy) or if it's just a reuse of the trademark and it'll have a new filename.

Either way I think I'm going to make my own version of WO 'cuase I have an idea for a new spin on him... but if the POC driver is the return of the 2000 snow trooper again, I'll be happy because it'll make the character a lot more unique than the shameless repaint of Snow Job was. I wish they'd go back and use all those codenames again to give all those forgotten NEW Joes another chance at the spotlight but it's doubtful.

:shifty:
