The newly assembled team at Phoenix Customs have shared the first three days of their fantastic Custom Night Force Week! In case you missed the notice of this project posted earlier, I’ll let OreoBuilder bring you up to speed –
Remember Project 96? It was the original name for what morphed into GI Joe Resurgence. We won’t bore you guys with the details again (you can read about it here if you like: Oreobuilder’s Blog: GI Joe: Resurgence Starts July 1st), but this sub-line was meant to be a part of the larger project. We picked Night Force because, in 1996, it would have made sense, from Hasbro’s perspective, to bring this theme back to support a more ‘’back-to-basics’’ approach. So, we set out to pick characters that could have been repainted at the time.Now, let’s take a look at the fantastic offerings posted up on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday!
