Hello, all ....

[Tri-GateDave]

just wanted to pop and introduce my self, TrigateDave here, hoping to do some mold and cast work on some Red shadows and other characters you guys may want.

There isn't allot getting done , so lets get that changed.

Lets here some ideas for some characters you all would like to see,trigate wants to help the cause in keeping the shadows alive and kicking.

Sounds good mate! Welcome aboard. What ideas have you got already?

[Double-Tap]

maybe an exclusive for the convention???

Great to have you here, Dave! Can you tell us a little bit about Trigate Creations, please?

Personally, I'd love to see every straight-arm fig reproduced as a jointed character! I'd start with the five 1983 team leaders; Baron Ironblood, Eagle, Skip, Sky Raider and Leviathan.
















I wouldn't say there's not a lot being done, though... have you not seen the Joecon 2010 exclusives?

Tri-Gate was created to make parts you could not get any where else. From head sculpts to torso's, weapons ,dio items, and even full figures.

We love the hobby, and love art. customizing has always been a passion of the team, and thus being customizers ourselves, we wanted more, more then what was being made. customizing was the bigest factor for creating Tri-Gate. The idea was to hear what others wanted, and what they thought was needed, and make it. We have a lil story line that is being worked on called 3060, and we are working with another forum called sector12 to bring some of there idea's to plastic form.

We have other jobs and other business's we run, we do Tri-Gate as a hobby based business, gets tuff sometimes, time wise but we sqeeze it in there. we also know we can not please everybody, and we don't try, we try and put out the best service and best product we can, to help others have fun with there customs, and creations.

anywho thats a lil about us, what else ya want to know?

Just so everyone knows, Tri-gate has been a active member of the joe community for a long long time and their stuff is simply put AWESOME.

You wont find any better stuff anywhere. Its as good as anything Hasbro Does ( maybe even better in fact )

Big thank you for your help in getting the Red Shadows and Action Force running full force again

Dela Eden and Artur Kulik has already been announced by you guys ( I posted it in the BFTB news section ) but in addition to those 2 I would like to see RED SCREAM.

One thing about Artur Kulik is ,he's basically got the same outfit as the DDPs basic Red Shadow troopers so a simple head switch/sculpt to put on the same body would give you the basic troops and him. Heck you could use the body for a Mars Herring figure( shown wearing the same outfit ) too, or even Red Vulture from Red Dawn ! So that body can be used for various things.

Cant wait to see this done, and great to have you hear!

you guys need to check out his site ( i posted a link in the announcement thread here viewtopic.php?f=71&t=7123 ) and look at some of their stuff, amazing craftmaship !

Thanks Baron and Jamarmiller, i hope I didn't come off sounding like Hasbro has done nothing at all. They are, but I want to see even more done, and I want to see them in 25th format as well as the arah.

The plan make them as cool as we can, our way, there are some many characters to start with, but we have it down to about 5. You should some work in the next few weeks take shape.

will post up some teaser pics as soon as we have them.

Thanks for the plug of the store, was not why i joined, i joined to get involved, and do my part to show all of you my support.

gas masks (like the pit commando) would go down quite well.
think they would be a great seller

Welcome Dave!

How about Muton head gear?
No, not cowboy hats but the green radar thing and the other green thing and the green thing with the red bit.

I agree that would be top notch!
