    Every Friday during October, I'll be posting more Funskool customs. You can check out the previous entries here:

    Part 3: GI Joe Interesting Colors



    Barbecue

    The original 1985 Barbecue was one of my favorite figures growing up, so I definitely wanted to include Funskool’s version in this series. In reality, I believe that Funskool Barbecue is a dark orange. However, I purposefully darkened the color a bit to red to set him apart from my 25th version.

    Lower legs: RoC Flash
    Everything else: 25th Barbecue.






    Beachhead
    This version of Beachhead is one of the few Funskool figures that I actually had. I purchased him around 2005 when I was just getting back into Joes as an adult. I never had Beachhead as a kid, but always liked his character in the Sunbow series, so I picked him up for cheap. He stood in my collection for a while and then was replaced with the VvV Night Force version. For my homage, I used the same bright green as ‘’Emerald Zap’’

    Head: 50th Beachhead
    Everything else: 25th Comic Pack Beachhead






    Beachhead (Red)
    Red Beachhead is one of the first figures I made for my Funskool series. For whatever reason, this color scheme has always appealed to me.

    All: 50th Beachhead







    Torpedo
    Yellow Torpedo actually reminded me quite a bit of the Sunbow Joes diving uniform. For that reason, I thought it was a cool homage.

    All: 25th Torpedo







    Wild Bill
    Wild Bill was one of the only Funskool figures that I acquired in the early 2000s. At the time, I thought the colors were pretty wacky and ended up repainting him green (like all my Joes during that period). Now that I know a bit more about the history of GI Joe, I can appreciate the orange flight suit that harkens back to the Action Pilot and the Air Adventurer. For my custom, I looked for a better head than the 25th version, but came up empty. When I find a suitable replacement, I will make the swap.

    Upper arms: 25th Viper
    Lower arms: 25th Storm Shadow
    Everything else: 25th Comic Pack Wild Bill






    Tripwire
    Tripwire is one of those characters that got repainted in pretty much every market he was released in (Stay tuned for a future project regarding this fact) India was no different. The Funskool version of sports an interesting color scheme. I tried to match the original’s colors as closely as possible. I still need to figure out how to make the ‘’BOMB SQUAD’’ logo on his chest. After that, he will be complete.

    Upper legs: Renegades Firefly
    Everything else: 25th Tripwire

    I don't know why I dig these so much but I do. I really do! I especially love both those Beachheads! Your paint apps are always so clean, too!
