“For those of you who have not heard, last weekend at Rogue Toy’s special OG13 Event in Las Vegas our very own JPNX entered a raffle for a 80% complete USS Flagg. Tickets were $25 and he bought just one. Well it came time to draw the winner. I was half a sleep and very hungry, but perked up when I heard a familiar name… low and behold our very own JPNX won that Flag!!!!” -TofuNinja
Special thanks to Rogue Toys for the event and for all the OGers who were there to see JPNX win that Flagg!!!
Award-winning customizer Jpnx unleashes Gecko Squad, Cobra’s latest threat to swamp lands everywhere. Lead by Copperhead himself, this team features “the worst of the worst from each Cobra faction.”

C.O.M.B.A.T. (Charitable Organization Mobile Battle Android Trooper)
Welcome to version 2 of OG13’s charity figure drive. This year, we will be donating all profits to a single OGer in need, who will be revealed at the end of this endeavour. 100% of the figures, accessories, casting, molds, paint, labels, money, and time came directly from our charity crew. This was 100% OGer funded and driven!
It’s my honor to present this year’s recipent of the 2014, umm, ish Charity Figure fund raising.
This gentleman is a great member of the OG13 family and a wonderful family man in real life as well. He is a customizer of many skills and leads one of our customs groups. Without going into detail of what happened to him, and just saying that when the discussions of who should we show our gratitude to and spread some cheer, one name came up first, often and was a easy decision for us.
We were going to present him this gift at Joecon but decided he could use the funds for Joecon expenses. We will be presenting him with the C.O.M.B.A.T. Charity figure, #1 of 50, during our time at this years Joecon.
So without any further rambling……..2014-ish Award goes to:
Miguel “Jpnx” Rios……..

We are past day nine already, but I love these two figures! From the workshop of icecreamman:
” Today we give you a totally awesome custom (Axe) from Custom Underground founder, JPNX! And next, his 3.75”/4” superhero customs are truly outstanding but you never see him custom G.I. Joes or military figures. This must be the first? Here’s ManyMackCreationz with his kick ass custom!”
From JPNX’s Underground Layer…
I have been in the works, making vehicles for my steel brigade troops…
From the desk of Jpnx:
“So me and Black Swan decided to hit up BotCon 2014 today for general admission day…”
Darkwise note: I used the Knights of Unicron pic, just because it seems to piss people off!
This is a very biased opinion, but I feel these customs are the embodiment of great customs that I’ve seen today!
ECO-Force BBQ by JPNX
Now I know that this was from yesterday, but I think it’s awesome the way he brought out the design and color of the original figure and gave it a really cool modern look…
Next is Desert Grunt by Porcupunker
I love the combination of parts, especially the pouches on the vest. The head is a great choice and the paint wash gives it a realistic look.
Third is Vega Customs V4 Sgt. Slaughter. I like the blend of color washes and the Sarge looks Jacked and ready to tear some heads off those snakes!
Jpnx gives us his vision of the Hard Master, done up in 30th anniversary fashion. Click the image to see a larger view!
