The guys over at the MS G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club have made splashes in the past with their free downloadable templates for a “make your own” custom playset, and they’ve really outdone themselves this time around!
A massively scaled playset designed to incorporate numerous recent additions to the G.I. Joe universe has been uploaded to their forums!
Based off of some of your favorite classic cardboard playsets from back in the day, the deco and styles have been updated a bit to reflect a more modern G.I. Joe-friendly feel. While I can’t host the crazy, high quality files that they’ve got over on the forums, I will share some of the completed pictures that have been posted in their Facebook profile.
This thing looks amazing!

A short while ago, I paid tribute to a new run of Devils’ Due era Red Shadows parts that Tri-Gate Creations was pre-ordering, because I thought they had the potential to be pretty cool. Well, I’ve since gotten some of the actual parts in my hands, and I am truly amazed. The sculpting and detail is absolutely phenomenal.
However, I didn’t want to post too much about them until I had a chance to get some paint on them, and I haven’t yet had time.
heretic, over on The Terror Drome, though, has had time, and posted a small sampling of his updated Red Shadow army right here. And damn does it look nice. I swear these things fit in seamlessly with the modern era G.I. Joe line, and I absolutely gotta get some time to put some of these figures together. Fantastic work by Tri-Gate getting these out there, and equally great work by heretic already putting together a nice squad of the Devils’ Due Shadows. Really love what I’m seeing here.
A big thanks to Jamar Miller for pointing this out to me as well.

Yeah, I don’t even think I can really say anything that does justice to this Cobra Command Center of bad-assedness.
Really, it rocks. There’s blood and everything.
Check it out at customfigurewars.com, and in some of the mirrored images below. Absolutely insanely cool. Lots more images available at the site itself: customfigurewars.com.

As a kid the ’91 version of Snake Eyes was one of my favorites. Sure, he had the cheesy orange weapons, and bright sky blue on his uniform, but I just loved the figure. And the best part of this custom is that kingphilbert doesn’t translate it to an exact replication of the 1991 version, but the homage is clear.
Paint is awesome, parts choices are awesome. I just really, really love this figure.
Nice work, kingphilbert! Found the custom at HissTank.com.

GeneralsJoes commenter and long time Joe web presence, M6D (known as such because of his awesome website, Magnum6Delta) has sent along some awesome pictures of a recent custom of a 25th Anniversary inspired Muskrat!
This figure looks great! It’s not a perfect 100% homage to the classic, but it’s good enough to work as part of the 25th Anniversary, or as a companion line. A really awesome piece, and not hard to do at all. Check out the images below!
