Ok here are my top 10 please judge fairly I know my customs aren't to everyone's tastes
I decided to repaint a Kamakura figure as Snake-Eyes apprentice from the CGI Ninja Battles Movie to add to my Arashikage Clan
Tigerclaw
Image
I wanted to give my Wild Bill something to fly and my Joes much needed firepower and saw this as the ideal vehicle
Dragonfly
Image
I always liked the character of Airborne who is hard to come by so re-painted the chopper pilot as him
Airborne
Image
I wasn't keen on the original Red Wolf but wanted to add to my Shadow Army so came up with this interpretation who I think looks more intimidating
Red Wolf
Image
Another hard to get figure I wanted to have Red Laser for my Laser Exterminator so came up with this interpretation I hope to get logos soon to add to both Shadow characters
Red Laser
Image
I didn't like how this Viper looked so re-painted him in the original uniform
Viper
Image
She is a never been released character who had potential so I re-painted this Indy range figure
Madame Umbra
Image
The standard was something I wanted to do ever since I got my first World Peacekeeper figures and thanks to a recent trade I was able to finish it off
Cobra Standard
Image
I couldn't quite decide what to do with this Corps vehicle but I saw it resembled the FANG and decided to make it look like the classic version it's unfinished at the moment
FANG
Image
I wanted a figure of Wilder ever since he appeared in GI Joe there may never be one so I repainted slightly a CLAW commander
Wilder Vaughn
Image

Red Wolf for sure, as much as I hate using Star Wars figures, he looks great.

I am surprised Airborne,Red Wolf and Wilder are tying. Airborne was hard to judge if I had paints that matched the original figure's uniform that Marauder gun does suit him. I didn't realise until now I used a pic of my FANG before I added the Cobra decals.

I was tempted to put in my latest custom but you will have to wait until July 1st so far Ross is the only member to have seen it. Wilder is out in front which is great I only found the tripod off his gun last night although I'm not sure it would have looked right in the pic.

I think that the camera may be playing up Ironblood, as the pictures look squashed up to me too!
