Anyone who’s been following The Fwoosh or the latest Fwoosh CustomCon has no doubt noticed the excellent Spooks and Fury Force entries that JoeCustoms submitted. Well, now we find out the end result! The JoeCustoms (and JoeCanuck) crew have all worked together and will be auctioning these amazing custom boxed sets off, then will give 100% of the proceeds to charity! A great way to celebrate the holiday season. Check out all of the details below.
JoeCustoms.com is auctioning off their CustomCon entries for charity, the eBay link is right here. They will be donating 100% of the proceeds to the Hasbro Children’s Hospital’s Child Life Services program. This program provides toys, games, and activities, as well as, in hospital schooling for the patients. Check out the details of that great cause here.
If you missed CustomCon on TheFwoosh, here are the entries below:
Spooks is an excellent comic series written by Larry Hama for Devils’ Due, so there are obvious connections to the Joe fan in all of us. Fury Force was reportedly the initial “pitch” that G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero was pulled from when the comic first got off the ground. Some great pieces and awesome parts of history that will certainly appeal to Joe fans of all ages.

One of the coolest events in toy customization are the occasional “CustomCons” held by renowned toy website The Fwoosh. During these “CustomCons”, customs of all shapes, sizes, and styles are presented as if they are new toylines being shown to the public. There usually are some very cool things to be seen, including some occasional G.I. Joe related items.
This time around, though, Joe custom fansite JoeCustoms.com goes way above and beyond, by designing and “producing” a full-fledged “Spooks” boxed set using G.I. Joe parts. You might wonder what the big deal about Spook is? Well, it’s a very cool comic title by Devils’ Due Publishing written by none other than Larry Hama, so there are obvious ties to the G.I. Joe brand scattered throughout.
As part of this great CustomCon presentation, JoeCustoms has an exciting announcement to come in the next four days…keep your eyes peeled! Until then, check out their great boxed set over on The Fwoosh. More will be coming as well…

With all the talk of the upcoming Resolute boxed sets, everyone’s been clammoring for Roadblock, Destro, Stalker and all of the guys that didn’t get the action figure treatment, but not many fans are really making mention of the arctic assault uniforms that Duke and Scarlett wore while they busted up Siberia. HissTank member meeko, actually goes even further, and he did up some great customs of the entire cast of characters from the Arctic battle…not only did he do some very nice versions of Siberian Scarlett and Duke, but also the Alley-Vipers, Ice-Vipers, and Zartan. He used some Star Wars parts, some Joe parts, and really thinks outside the box on some of these things. Nice stuff.

In conjunction with Sideshow’s “Spooktacular” event, GeneralsJoes was honored to be able to work with them to give away a free 12″ Cobra Commander from their amazing G.I. Joe toyline. The requirements were simple… just do up a custom of a G.I. Joe or Cobra character in a Halloween theme. But knowing that I alone wasn’t the customizing expert I used to be, I also enlisted the aid of JoeCustoms.com and a hand-picked group of their customizing gurus served as judges to pick the entry that best exemplified what we wanted to see.
There were a number of entries, which I’ve mirrored below:
