HissTank.com forum member r3v3n63 brought us word of a special announcement posted in the HissTank Custom Forums. The message?
Hi Derek! My name’s Little Cletus and I’m here to tell you a few things about child labor laws, ok? They’re silly and outdated. Why back in the 30s, children as young as five could work in textile mills and iron sheds. Yippee! Hooray!
Now, in case you’re wondering “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?”…Well, you filthy gauche swine! On your knees and prepare!
For MUGATU!
This amazing recreation of Will Ferrell’s Mugatu character from the comedy Zoolander is an absolute home run! We’ve only shared a couple of images here on the Front Page, but there’s a ton more where that came from, including images of Mugatu’s enforcers, the FASHION POLICE! Check out the gallery after the break!

I've been wanting to do this for a long time, like... Years. And I finally did it. Recently I realized that my collection of Cobra figures while growing up far outweighed my Joes. They just looked cooler. The next thought that came after that was, "Do they have to supply their own costumes or is there some kind of tailor who works something out with them? Kind of like Edna Mode from The Incredibles or... MUGATU!" I had to pop Zoolander in the dvd player and watch it. Sure enough, Mugatu's organization could have easily dovetailed with Cobra... If you have a sense of humor.
Mugatu's head is a personal sculpt and I had to do a heavy mod of a torso to get the corset right as well as adding some cuffs to his arm. The MUGATU wording is waterslide decals from an eBay supplier in China.

The Fashion Police is, of course, Marauder Gun Runners Task Force figures. And I finally found a use for that Chafing Taint-um head that's been floating around in my bin box('s).
The Mugatu logo was done in Photoshop by my girlfriend, Miss R3v3n63 and the waterslide decals were so affordably provided by Badmothertattoo. He is on here at the 'Tank and has an eBay shop as well. A great and helpful guy!

That is fantastic! Great custom and the humor and creativity are outstanding! Where are Mugatu's hands from? Awesome job all the way around!
r3v3n63 says
The hands are from a Chavo Guerrero Build N Brawl figure. That line has some very impressive sculpts on the heads and hands.

It all makes sense now...lol

That's hilarious and awesome; love the addition of the light bars!
Stl_Brgd_PFC_Ramar says
Very cool. Dig the creativity to merge Zoolander into the Joe mythos!
WarinThefloor says
After Crystal ball and Raptor this would have fit perfectly in the insanity that was that period of Joe. But beyond that these ere just really well crafted.
C.I.A.D. says
Ok, that is super f#@king epic.
WarinThefloor says

USAgent says
