    My customizing Mom

    I was just talking to Jason and he prompted me to post this figure. This was made in, I think, 1996. I was going to enter this in some custom contest and I never ended up sending it in. SHe made the whole thing from scratch. It was on a 12 inch Toy Biz body with a modified GI Joe head by me(my fist custom head). I think it's since had some wear and tear from many moves. It's completely unposeable and he just stands there, but to have a mother put this together is just an awesome resource. I've got her making me some capes here in the near future too.

      That is crazy cool! Moms are the best, aren't they? From the photos, it looks like she sewed the red and white fabric on the abs...did she?

          That's awesome. Nice combo of oven mitts and cuffed gloves! That's one I'm sure you will never part with.

                    A yes I remember the Toybiz 12" figures well. They were posed by the same limited skeletal system that Barbie flex legs and the first HALL O FAME Joes used. Very cool rendition of Cap. As for MOM. I'd take her out for dinner for all the praise. Take care and take care of that special Mom of yours
