Creepy creep is exactly what I envisioned for him as a bad guy Lunartix.

I originally was going for sinister and menacing but my wife said he looked like a creep with the lowered eyelid. I think I may have the angle off but instead of redoing I decided to make him a creepier alien Pepe Le Pew. He's highly sensitive to pheromones and is attracted to the females on every planet he visits. He pursues them relentlessly and doesn't know the meaning of no.

After years of searching the area where they lost the signal, the agents of MIB finally tracked down the missing Alien Life Form living in the attic of a suburban family. He introduced himself as Gordon Shumway of the former planet Melmac. He agreed to go with the agents to spare any harm to his adopted earth family. The family was given the option to remain quiet or be relocated to the rural countryside of Iceland.








I never knew I needed an ALF in my joeverse until I received a request to print a head. I found this ewok on clearance at Gamestop and resized the file for the body.

****Credit for the concept goes to 2Dark2C****

I'm not the first to use the Buzz Lightyear as a dive suit for Deep Six. It does make a good well articulated suit for an update to the V1 inaction figure. It's a bit oversized and the Izzy Space Ranger may have been better sized but Buzz was the only clearanced one I found.

I removed the head and neck post. I cut the opening to fit one of my printed neck posts and used a Marauder head. After that a simple repaint with the blue-gray, yellow, teal, and gunmetal. The pearl white is the original mold color.

I swapped the legs on the Fortnite figure that came with the blue car. Needed a head and I've had this Star Wars head in the box for years. The skull head nunchuk idea just came to me randomly and it was an easy mod of two Guillotine sword handles.

A different take on Topside. Dude got a lot of playtime back in the day mainly because of the backpack.




Mostly Fortnite with some GvC Duke arms with Spytroops Grunt lowers. Marauder head with sculpted flat top. Last minute grafting of Jack Sparrow feet. because the Fortnite feet just didn't have the right look. The rocket launching backpack is made from 2 Fortnite rocket launchers and a Fortnite back bling with a PTE mortar bipod.

Great use of the Fortnite parts!

I've accumulated a few of them, but haven't found the right projects just yet. They have a slightly cartoony look that I'm not sure how to blend into projects. I have used a few weapons, but not the bodies so far.

Speaking of the overall look of them, you exaggerated the hair on Topside just the right amount to match the style of the parts without looking silly.

Thank you, the original has a nice striking contrast of blue, orange, and gray that I tried to follow here.



I gave the tools some color as a callback to the original's yellow trim. I'm glad you dig the hair sculpt, its harder than I thought to find a decent flat top head, and this was much easier to sculpt than a well manicured beard.



The Fortnite design does not work for all characters, but I always felt Topside was a beefy farm boy from his filecard description. I have fallen in love with the Fortnite construction, though. They are far easier to customize than the modern style 1/18th GI Joe figures. I tend to lean towards a more superhero build in my joeverse anyway so I think I'll be incorporating more of these going forward, especially with the availability.

I agree on the hair, it does look too big when compared with the original and a helmet will never fit correctly, but I do like the finished product.
