Workbench Report vol. VI (I think)

It's been months since I've finished anything. Although I did pick up both Sideshow's Snake Eyes and Cobra Commander. They're amazing figures and two of SSCs best, imho. Hot Toys level, folks, that's all that really needs be said.

It doesn't look like Airborne will be parachuting in any time soon, much to Wild Bill's and my dismay. It's a parts matter more than anything else, he's got a fairly simple design and it's something I want to get just write rather than stick him in a flight suit and throw a vest on him. He IS coming just not right away. As always there's somebody(ies) on the backburner and I'm proud to say I've finally got a leg up on a Joe I've been trying to produce for over a year now. He's a personal favorite and think you're really going to like him.

The dios feature was fun to do and I've been contemplating doing another one soon. As the team grows more and more dio possibilities open up. Then of course there's the Cobra Troopers coming from SSC, they look awesome!!! Gonna need a couple Dragunovs for them of course.

In closing I've decided to leave you guys with a little teaser of the upcomming Joe I mentioned. Since the movie is looking to be an outright disaster I feel obligated as a diehard Joefan to give you something to look forward...


Cursing the poor lighting in the weapons
warehouse, Rock N Roll goes back to see what he tripped over. He's
perplexed to see a .50 cal and wonders who the hell it belongs to......

I've always wanted to make a great custom of your next intended custom. Just can't find a body that would work for him!
As always, your work is brilliant!

Thanks, Tom! I'm hoping to wrap the 'Block up soon.
