Great to hear you guys are getting ideas together! I have so many and was torn between 2. I will be going with a GI Joe theme from my childhood. I plan to start doing WIP/teaser pics real soon. Is anyone else going to spill the beans with a few pics?

Damn Spry I hope I'm not thinking of the same thing you are, I was looking thru starwarsgeeks website and came across a Joe head that is perefct for some vintage GI Joe's.  That got me to thinking of all the great sets I had when I was a kid and I started to think of what sets I could start making.

I have come up with 5 sets so far and I just have to start looking for the right bodies, which leads me to a question how compatible are the movie A-Team figures and GI Joe's figures such as swapping body parts etc.

Rex Smoke, I had to use your great wip picture for a front page update on this. I can't wait to see what other folks make for this.

OK, I have 2 images to share. The first is a WIP pic of the vehicles and the second is a bit of a teaser

Damn Spry they look amazing mate, I wish I could have gotten hold of those vehicles I have to scratch make all mine and I'm only %25 thru on the chopper.

I also like the the WIP teaser and I only hope mine turn out as great as yours have done so far.

Teaser pic for the "Mando Mash-up" line.  If you can identify this pic, you are awesome.  Two NEW! Mando Mash-Ups originated from the movie scene represented by this screen shot.



My goal is to have several franchises represented, with this one being one of my major favorites.  I'd also like to see how close I can get to the 12 figure (!) maximum count that the contest allows.  It's super-cool of y'all to allow "two previously released" figs in the contest.  I guess they would be carry-overs from the previous wave, lol.
