Custom Gi Joe Figure: Battle Damaged Trooper

Battle Damage Custom Figure Bazooka Trooper






So far I've made only two battle damaged custom gi joe figures, but plan to customize more. I thought it would be really cool to make a Bazooka Trooper who looks as if he's had a brutal run in with the Gi Joe team.


As you can see, he's had a bad day at work for Cobra. Bazooka trooper has two gun shot wounds - one in the upper right arm and another in the upper left thigh. His knuckles are scrapped and bloody from hand to hand combat with Gi Joe and there is a cut above is left eye from a punch thrown by Roadblock. On the right side of his face he has a black eye which looks pretty realistic if I may say so myself. I don't know how this guy managed to escape. He must have lost his bazooka in the process because he's only blandishing a knife and a pistol. One thing is for certain - he's on tough dude.


This custom figure is more or less considered a repaint since it is made up of Bazooka Trooper which is the original figure. The additions I made when I customized him consist of me painting him from head to toe while adding a little greenstuff (blue and yellow kneadatite) for the gun shot wounds. All and all I have a lot of fun making this figure into the battle damaged maniac you see today.

Why do I love Gi Joes so much?

Why do I love Gi Joe? Have you ever had an affinity for something and you didn't realize why? Well that's exactly how I felt about Gi Joe until I sat down to write this post. I know to other people it may seem odd that I'm an adult who plays, collects, and customizes Gi Joe action figures. I haven't been able to fully understand what the big deal is about Gi Joe until now. Like a detective, I've been sitting her trying to remember the first time I saw Gi Joe and how I felt and I'm finding that some of the happiest moments of my childhood have involved Gi Joe. All of my friends had gi joes so my parents bought some for me and my brother so we could all play together. Gi Joe became a staple gift for me and my brother each Christmas and every birthday from our parents. I think they even rewarded good behavior with Gi Joe figures. I was always my little brother's hero whenever he broke a gi joe because I'd fix it for him and sometimes go a step further and m...

I will post individual pictures of these custom figures later on. In the photo we have Spiderman's girlfriend, the lovely Mary Jane Watson. In the center of the picture is "Sam", a  new character from my joe-verse. Sam is Gung-Ho's niece.It's kind of difficult to tell from the picture but Sam has a long blonde ponytail in the back. The next custom female on the far right is a female version of The Punisher. I just listed these and a few more on eBay, so be sure to check them out b/c there are many more pictures of them that you can see instantly in the listings. The auctions will end a week from today- next Sunday.

Action Figure Customizing tips about eBay

Action Figure Customizing tips about eBay  Like most toy customizers I tend to buy a lot of action figures, parts and accessories from eBay. You can find really great deals on for customizing figures when you buy custom fodder and figure lots. It's kind of like that old saying: one man's trash is another man's treasure. I don't know how many times I have taken a figure apart and for the recipe I needed and thought to myself what will I do with this fodder (left over pieces and parts). Most of the time I will save them for later use, other times I list my custom fodder on eBay. This is a good way to make extra money from customizing toys.Selling custom fodder on eBay is really a win-win for all parties involved. You get money to reinvest in your customizing business and someone else gets some parts they need to finish their own customizing projects or vice-versa.
