Here's my next recarded Joe figure, Cobra Commander. I used the same blister bubble as the crimson guard and chopped the accessory part off. Hope you like.

Got lots more to come, any comments would be appreciated.

Good work.

When re-carding, do you use the best condition figure you can find?
Pesonally I'd find it very hard to do, as I like to be able to "play" & see things out of the boxes myself, if somethings vintage & still carded I'll leave it be, brand new toys are busted out as soon as possible.

Looking good! I'm currently on cleaning off dome bubbles myself for some recards (finally, paulitoy says!!) so interesting to see how others are doing it!

I've been buying loose figures for a while and only get the best quality i can get my hands on. I'd choose the better one for carding and leave the others loose as i've multiple of some.
It's good to see other people getting into carding, can't wait to see the results. Not sure on asking but could it be possible for a carding part of the forum? just an idea.

I've added a new category to the Customs Archives - Recards!

I will add your pages on the next update, Gaz.

Oh, it was just a cut and paste job, the two existing galleries were under Artwork, but it never felt right. Now there's a third person at it I figure it's only gonna keep growing.

I'm working my wya through cleaning up the BAF archives at the moment, once I'm done there I'll update all of the fourm submissions (customs, dios and other projects).
