“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!!!

One of my favorite figures from what was my golden years of GI JOE, and as it happens the first custom I ever attempted and while my early work won me some kudos more importantly it gave me the encouragement that propelled me on my current path, so I wanted to do an update to that figure worthy of the else and other filling my shelves. Hope you folks enjoy my take on a classic, I give you my modern Tele-Viper.

Custom Legends are back, baby! That’s right, your favorite quarterly Customs Contests have returned after a brief hiatus due to the untimely retiring of this contest’s founder, the unholy Byrnes. Now, ozzie92 has taken the reigns and dedicated the theme of this quarter’s contest, The Masters of Mayhem, to the big man himself!

Based on “About Byrnes” from his profile:

“I enjoy customizing figures from the Sci-Fi world such as Buck Rogers, Star Trek, Star Wars, Bladerunner, Mad Max and so on. Not really a GI Joe expert. Was into the toys when I was a kid in 82 and 83. Got hooked again on the 25th stuff.”

3rd Quarter’s Master of Mayhem contest will be calling for crossovers of Joes into alternate–but established–sci-fi universes and/or alternate–but established–sci-fi characters merging into Joe sub-groups (ex: BATS in Battlestar Galactica…Buck Rogers in Star Brigade).

  • ANY size action figure is allowed!
  • Each member will be allowed a maximum of 2 submissions per quarterly contest.
  • Must be new figure never posted anywhere else and no WIP photos are allowed.

Winner will receive a digital trophy and $25 Credit from Star Wars Geek Custom Supply Store!

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.

From the desk of Mayhem Customs’ Viper6:

“Frank has always been a favorite, anyone who knows me knows I LOVE The Punisher, and that WAR ZONE was probably my favorite comic series being that I like him grim and gritty… anyway, when I heard a 1/6th scale figure was inbound … I set myself to task with my first ever 1/6th scale custom, hope you enjoy this one even half as much as I do, I had a blast pulling him together (would you believe that head was storm shadow unmasked?)”

“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 the disastrous events of Operation Waterfront where several Joes were taken prisoner by Cobra, General Hawk has tasked Chuckles to put together a team to find and rescue his men. Meanwhile, a new group of GI Joe recruits are tasked with finding out what Cobra’s new plan is. Little do they know that both missions will lead them to Gold Springs, a nice little town in the desert…”

As an avid fan of the man in black, I was geeked to see this one…!

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……..

Congratulations from us and thank you for being a part of our OG13 family!
