Hobbestimus Posted October 29, 2012 I know Kre-O has a GI Joe line coming out, but I wanted to try my hand at some Lego versions of my favorite GI Joe vehicles. Cobra CLAW: And the FANG: And the Ferret: And a place to park them all at base: And, not to be outdone, GI Joe's got a Sky Hawk to do battle with: Comments and critiques appreciated.

Athos Posted October 29, 2012 I'm digging the Fang and the Skyhawk. I'm going to have to steal those designs. Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deltarex101 Posted October 29, 2012 The Ferret looks to me is pretty sweet. Keep building! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Artifex Posted October 29, 2012 Awesome! On the side: Kre-O will be releasing GIJoe sets. It's not Lego, it's not your MOCs, but it's GIJoe ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbestimus Posted October 29, 2012 I saw those. I'll be checking them out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ETAV8R Posted October 30, 2012 Way cool. I have been pondering a skyhawk for a while. I really like your use of the green stretchers. I would suggest larger engines which rotate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Blue Brick Posted October 30, 2012 I love these. I want to make my own custom Cobra. What did you use for the head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbestimus Posted October 31, 2012 Way cool. I have been pondering a skyhawk for a while. I really like your use of the green stretchers. I would suggest larger engines which rotate. Yeah, I struggled with fitting in larger engines. I settled for this, but I'll probably revisit someday. I love these. I want to make my own custom Cobra. What did you use for the head. The cobra head is a pretty simple build: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tomdobs55 Posted November 6, 2012 Loving the GI Joe MOCS, but you couldn't make the General?! That thing was a beast! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hive Posted November 9, 2012 Oh man, these bring me back. Good job! My favorite is the Ferret (didn't even know it was called that), which I always loved playing with myself. I particularly used it with those two twins, whats-their-names.... Where did you get the stickers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbestimus Posted November 9, 2012 Thanks. Stickers are from some actual GI Joe vehicle decal sheets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laura Beinbrech Posted November 11, 2012 I'm loving it! GI-JOE A Real American Hero! Those definitely look like some of the vehicles and figures from the old action figure line/Cartoon. Keep up the good work! "....now you know, and knowing is half the battle!" (The other half the battle is red lasers and blue lasers) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SheepEater Posted November 11, 2012 Fantastic. That Dark Blue color was MADE to be used in Cobra MOCs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbestimus Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Dreadnok Swamp Base! Okay, so this is basically just a Tower Takedown on top of a Robbers Hideout...but I felt like both sets already captured something of the Dreadnok aesthetic. So I ran with it. Anyway, there's a dock for...you know, docking stuff: And a camouflaged tower for communications and world domination radar activities - connecting to laser satellites and what-have-you: Zartan can park his Swamp Skier in the poorly lit interior of the cabin: And then ride it out into action: Edited November 15, 2012 by Hobbestimus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mazin Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) Yay... this Dreadnoks hideout really makes me to scream for this theme to be made Zartan looks great, same with his Swamp Skier I also like Spirit very much Sky Hawk is little bit different than the original one but guess you coudln't make it the other way. Is that Roadblock over there? He's never used his helmet in action I had him in Tiger Force version - looked nicer that way. Those early figures were very dark in appearance. I remember that I started thinking of Lego G.I.Joe as soon as they adopted Star Wars. Guess that there's a lot of vehicles that would be very easy to make - like RAT/PACs or Water Moccasin or my favorite HAVOC. Yay... I want a Raider!

Hobbestimus Posted November 16, 2012 That is Roadblock. I was copying , but you're right. They didn't put his helmet on him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mazin Posted November 16, 2012 those were great... I'd love to get all of these commercials somewhere... they could at them as a bonus on dvd It's funny that these short toy commercial had actually better animation the sunbow show itself, same with later animations for comic books and there's still a lot of weird differences between those animations and toys or sunbow series - like some color changes and voices anyway... good job on adopting this commercial... hopefully you'll do some of the cartoon intros moments too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
