    The Silent Master of the Arashikage ninja clan.

    On the heels of my Cobra Commander custom I present my Snake-Eyes custom based on the second version of the character featured in Series Four of the A Real American Heroes line back in 1985.

    My absolute favorite character from G.I. Joe, I have been planning Snakes since June of 2014 when I acquired a Sideshow 12 inch Snake-Eyes head on eBay. I spent last winter sculpting a neck for that Sideshow head and undergoing the process of shrinking the head down. Shortly after Mego Meet I made a mold of the shrunken head and cast it. I spent the last couple of months getting the final components to complete him.

    The detailed breakdown of what I used to make him are as follows:

    HEAD: My shrink of a 12" Sideshow head with my paints.
    BODY: Doc Swivel Bi-Cep
    BODYSUIT: Sewn by my wife.
    MILITARY HOLSTER BELT: CTVT
    HOLSTER: CTVT, cut from above Holster Belt
    PISTOL: Doc
    KNIFE: Doc
    SWORD: CTVT, modified and painted by me
    SHEATHS: Tailored and sewn by me
    WEB GEAR/STRAPS: Tailored and sewn by me
    POUCHES: Cut from CTVT military belt
    UZI: Donated by one of my Magnificent Team figures
    GRENADES: Also donated by one of the Magnificent Team figures
    TIMBER: Hobby Lobby
    ARASHIKAGE TATTOO: LaserMego
    BOX: Designed and assembled by me

    I thank you all for stopping by and giving him a look.

    YO JOE!!!!

      Thank you. The wolf is made by Mojo out of the UK, I was scouring the aisles of Hobby Lobby for something else when I came across the aisle containing all of their toy animals, he was only $3.99 so I picked him up.

            Wow, those are great! My 8 year old mind would have exploded if I had 8" RAH Joes like this.
