We’re keeping the Customs Train rolling this morning with a rather unique custom that hasn’t been seen before on the Hisstank.com forums! Check out this cool Custom Modern Era Pepsi Man created by Hisstank.com forum member Dolemite.
Now, you may look at this and think to yourself “What is that?!”…Thankfully, Dolemite has done the leg work and provided the origin story behind Pepsi Man. Check it out –
Pepsiman is the super-heroic official mascot for Pepsi Cola in Japan, and clearly one of the most odd-ball corporate representatives for any product, ever. He’s also pretty awesome. He starred in a long series of commercials, print advertisements, and even video games (a self-titled adventure on the PS1 and a guest appearance in the Sega Saturn fighting game Fighting Vipers), and while I don’t think he’s around as much (if at all) in recent years, we will never forget you (or your rad theme song), Pepsiman!

Join us after the break to see more images of this unique custom and to check out a video of Pepsi Man in action!
**EDIT** – This is actually 2nd time we’ve seen a Pepsi Man custom on the board! Shout out to GDZToys who posted a custom of this character as well!

I'm sure most of you are looking at this one and saying "WTF" to yourselves. I don't blame you at all for doing so.

Anyway, not seeing as much action recently, Pepsiman volunteered for service on the GI Joe team, where his speed and valuable ability to "quench one's thirst" comes in very handy in the fight against Cobra.

Thanks everyone! It's mucho appreciated!
BTW, here's some more Pepsiman commercials for you, including some featuring his blue re-design when they changed the Pepsi can. I might have to make that one next.

If these are Japanese commercials, why are there only roundeyes in them? Weird.
