Hisstank.com forum member elmobfaelnar15 dropped by the Custom Forums to share not one, but THREE amazing customs with us!
First up is Strider Hiryu, the character made famous by his original appearance in Manga, followed by a continuous presence in video games since 1989 thanks to CAPCOM. Using a G.I.Joe Retaliation Ultimate Storm Shadow figure as a base, Strider looks like he’s jumped off of a screen on to your shelf.
Next, straight from the pages of Marvel comics comes The Silver Samurai. This custom replaces the feeling of “what could have been” by incorporating the Silver Samurais armor on a G.I.Joe Retaliation Budo figure, giving us a near perfect Modern Era rendition of the character.
Last but not least, check out this spot on version of the Cobra Laser Viper. Using a G.I.Joe Resolute Duke and gear from the original Laser Viper figure, this custom is a home run and I need at least 10 more like it!
You can check out images of all three customs and share your thoughts on these figures after the break!

ever since i saw the ultimate SS i always thought this body type has got to be THE BEST when it comes to customizing ninjas, and strider was one of my favorite ninjas.
head: 50th cobra trooper with sculpted hair
body: ret. ultimate SS
im trying to incorporate some marvel / dc characters into the joe universe, so im looking for characters that can be converted to "real world physics". when i saw the Wolverine silver samurai my thoughts was " hes perfect for my current ninja themed enemies for SE but that 5 POA has got to go". i i dremeled A LOT of his body and grafted it to a ret. budo body and im happy ever since
and lastly...i love the concept case laser viper so i stock up on resolute flying duke body. heres my finish product....now to stock up on vintage LV gear and helmet so i could make a squad of these

These are all amazing, strider is my favorite hands down

Dude, that Strider is awesome! I actually thought the same exact thing when I first saw that Ultimate Storm Shadow figure...he would make a perfect base for a Strider (and probably Guy from Street Fighter as well)! However, you beat me to it, and now the question remains if I can approach your level of quality!
BTW, I already made a Solo figure (that flying robotic bounty hunter that shows up in all of the Strider games). Hopefully I'll get started on my Strider soon, but man, you nailed it. I hope mine comes out half as good as yours.

They all look good and strider is probably my favorite from the group , no he is for sure . Loved the game when i was younger ...
I have to say my favorite thing about him is his custom sword/tonfa that is bad ass , like i always say the weapon can make or break a custom and it made it bad-ass , i personally love home made or custom weapons character oriented or not . Very nice work again .
