Today is a bittersweet day as the custom project created by Oreobuilder, Bucky, and Dusty79 has come to a close. Here is a look at their Catalog and final thoughts. Please join us in applauding their great efforts and amazing building skills. It has been an historic month for the custom action figure community!
No this isn’t an upcoming figure, it is an amazing custom by Mayhem Custom architect Porcupunker.
Fellow Mayhem Custom member and world famous tattoo artist, Cobra Oner shared with us today his incredible collection of Cobras and Joes…
From the workshop of SB Cobra:
“From the ashes, we all rise. Catchy line that’s stuck with me in recent times. You all know by now what’s up. Currently in Wyoming, rebuilding my life, about to start working again, staying with Jamey a fellow customizer (which is great because I can finally share all my knowledge with someone as well as work side by side with someone to evolve new ideas and expand etc) until I can afford my own place. Made him this neat 3-man set so far, this is the enlisted set. a pvt, a spc, and a sgt. Working on a lt, and a cpt for him at the moment but so far so good.”
From the workshop of Oreobuilder:
“Look out Cobra! The Orca silently launches from the USS Flagg to invade Cobra shores. The anti-aircraft battery defends the ship while the dual 5 inch deck gun softens up enemy positions on the beach. Features 2 decks, 2 opening ramps, accessories and can carry up to three GI Joe vehicles! Includes GI Joe naval commander Riptide and gunner Broadside!”
From the workshop of ska_lives:
“My second entry into the quarterly contest, my version of TF Beachhead. I based this figure off of the con version from a few years back…not sure 2004-7 somewhere is that window I think. Anywho, Beachhead has always been one of my favorite characters, and Tiger Force one of my favorite sub-teams. Thus it was only natural for me to take my extra figure and make this.
C&C welcome as always!
He is known for his unwavering patience on and off the battlefield, and for his intolerance of anyone not willing to live up to their full potential. Beach Head feels that being pushed to the limits is the only way to develop a solid understanding of what those limits are. The consummate professional, he is determined and ruthless when needed to get the job done. The only matter his teammates have an issue with, is his lack of interest in personal hygiene. He disregards things like deodorant, believing that they would be a dead giveaway were he dropped into a jungle war zone at a moment’s notice. This trait is also one which made him the perfect candidate for the new Tiger Force team.”
As most of you know, our Mayhem brother SBCobra, aka Sonny Hernandez has had some real life issues come up and needs some support from his friends. We at Mayhem Customs and our sponsors for this project, will be making a limited run of carded customs with 100% of the funds donated to Sonny to help try to get his life back together again. Details soon!

From the books of Headman:
“Welcome wrestling fans to W13, the official fantasy wrestling league of OG13!
Some of you may be familiar with our predecessor the HWF which recently ended it’s three and a half year run on July, 26th 2014.
Well if you enjoyed the HWF you haven’t seen anything yet! Unlike the HWF where players were usually assigned gimmicks and portrayed using their OG13 handles the W13 will allow our “Handler’s” to create their own original wrestlers. As a handler you will also come up with your own gimmick and have the option of pitching your own storylines, rivalries, spots for matches and just about anything else you can think of.
In real life professional wrestling most of the creative direction comes from the writers and bookers. That will still be the case here, but just like in pro-wrestling the talent (That’s you.) is encouraged to come up with ideas of their own for how their character’s should be portrayed. If you have an idea for a rivalry that you think will captivate the W13 audience then by all means pitch it! Of course not all ideas can be used. As the booker I will serve as the filter, but will do my best to see to it that your creative needs are met. After all, this isn’t just my story… It belongs to all of us.
So what’s involved in joining W13? Well I’m glad you asked! “

From the workshop of Stronox:
“Hi guys!! Been a while since I have posted anything Star Wars…Been getting into a lot of other projects lately…Anyways, I made up a Revan using all Joe parts and nothing from the actual Revan or Malak figures…These are more of a my style concept since I honestly have never been a big fan of Revan. Thanks for taking a look!”
Thanks to the guys over at Gundam Kits Collection, we have our first preview of the upcoming Master Grade 1/100th scale release of the Gundam Blue Frame.
From the workshop of StarWarsGeek:
“Made this from a Spider-Man Legends Electro figure from the ASM2 line. Scratch built belt and harness out of several 1:18 belts pieced together.
Question… hexagram on outfit sleeve or no? I haven’t added it yet but planned on it, but after discussing it with some people, they claim it’s not supposed to be there and is wrong.”

Ruben Soriano (aka Solo0525) found 2 of the new 50th anniversary figure sets…
From the workshop of Hard-er Master:
“I’ve always liked the Wolverine since I first saw it as a kid. It was kinda sleek, had all those missiles, AND a female driver (which I found interesting). So it stands to reason that the Wolverine was the 1st vehicle that I’ve tried to build.”
Do you have what it takes to put your custom on the Mt. Rushmore Custom Legends. Contest ends 7/15. Check the contest details and let the battle of the master customizers begin.
My fellow Mayhem Brother, Sonny Hernandez recently fell on some hard times and needs our help to get him back on his feet. He currently has started a GoFundMe event and is looking to raise money to help. Please if you have a few bucks in your Joe allowance, put it to a good cause.
