From the desk of the Ozzman himself…
Finally done! I’ve wanted to do this for years, and have had these WIPs for over a year, looking for the fodder I needed. This LRRP (Long Range Recon Patrol) squad is based on Hama’s Marvel universe and back story, but most closely aligned with the modern penciled take of SE Declassified.

“Never really been too much of a fan of Domino, but she is pretty popular. Got a request recently, so she finally made it to my project list. It was inevitable that I would end up making this X-Force member, really.”

Following Haunt, I was asked to fix up a Spawn. I knew this day was inevitable, but thankfully it was requested without the giant boot. I hate that thing. The design changed here and there as we went along, before finally coming to this. Was actually fun, and I’m looking forward to remaking him again at some point. Making a version with spikes on his lower legs and the chain belt.
The cape held me up initially. I’ve seen a ton of different approaches, and I just wasn’t sure how to go about it. But, then I saw some footage from the old SNes Spawn game, and decided to approach him in the same way. So, I started with the Grim Reaper cape, cut the collar down, and added the collar from Dr Strange. Then, I added sculpt to give it the proper height and look. The body itself was just a repaint with sculpt added to his upper leg and upper arm. Then, I used some toothpicks for the spikes. A simple enough rendition, but still a fun first endeavor into the character.

I like delving into new lines, and the awesome part about today’s world? There’s always a new line to try out. A few weeks ago, a request came in to make someone’s D&D Elf Ranger in figure form. I was given this image as a reference with the only note being to include a red arrow. I made fantasy style customs back when I first started customizing, but haven’t messed with them since, unfortunately. Couldn’t resist giving him a shot, and hope to eventually get to do more.

From the desk of Chaos Crew’s Dravenheart…
“I really like when figures end up with a long recipe list. Can be a bit tedious to type out and describe, but makes me feel rather accomplished. Anyway, I was asked to create this barbarian, and sent images of another customizer’s creation. I’m honestly not sure who’s it was. I was to use it as a guideline, but I altered some things a little bit for my own design.”
Recipe:
Body – MU Doc Samson
Head – MU Punisher
Hair – GI Joe 25th Baroness
Sword – MU Skaar
Belt – MU Baron Zemo
Armband – MU Hawkeye
Bracelets – MU Warpath

Chaos Crew’s own ozzie92 unleashes his latest custom, an awesomely dark Red Shadows Trooper…
“I struggled with this one a lot; whether to stick with bright red like the original, or go with a grittier urban version. Since I really liked the cloak, you can see my final direction. Couldn’t resist the pic showing the figure’s ‘shadow’…”

From the ever-creative desk of Oreobuilder:
“Most fans agree that the 25th Anniversary version of Ripcord (or Spc Altitude) from the Cobra Island 7-pack had some flaws. From the choice of the head to the helmet and the air hose that did not plug into anything, there was definitely room for improvement. With this custom, I started from scratch. I used the Retaliation GI Joe Trooper as a base and swapped out the lower legs, added the Retaliation Airborne gear and Renegades Ripcord helmet. It came together pretty well.
Enjoy!”

Chaos Crew’s ozzie92 showcases his latest custom, Ultimate Scarlett. Make the jump at the end to see more!
“Okay…not much credit goes to me, but for painting and adding throwing stars to her gloves, adding an arrow to her crossbow from my red o-ring SS, and for simple kitbash assembly.
The rest of the credit goes to Stocos28 for accepting my commission to paint the #0028 AngelForge head! I am blown away, and am no longer looking forward to a one-day-some-day Scarlett update. I gots mines!!!”

From the workdesk of ozzie92:
“Ghost Bear is Kwinn’s son. Believing his father to have been slayed as a result of G.I. Joe interference–not knowing that his father had left Cobra behind and had sought peace–Ghost Bear runs with Cobra, hoping to exact his revenge and satisfy his blood lust.
…and now for the World Premier of my custom Ghost Bear…”
