REAL JOES

This is a line that has been quietly getting worked on here and there for the last decade.  When I found a figure and had some time I would work on them in small increments.  I have recently finished 3 waves or sets of the entire line.  This is the first wave.  The idea was simple.  I saw the McFarlane Military line of figures and inspired by my second favorite child hood property, G.I. Joe.  I wanted to create realistic versions of the characters.  While I love so many of these characters it was a bit of a challenge as many have quite ridiculous and impractical military outfits.   I tried to keep the characters essential feel, facial features, and color scheme while combining them with what their real world counterparts might look like and wear.

For Sale – changes & updates

Most of the work on the site was made by me for my personal collection.  The size of the collection has grown so i have decided to sell some of my work.  I was going to try to keep the whole sets of 10 figures together but I have decided to group them together in pairs.  Click here to see the figures. FOR SALE page   

These are one of kind items,  they have no duplicates or molds,  they were hand crafted with the most expensive professional sculpting materials and paints.   

This is a chance to own a piece of pop culture history.  They have been featured in Entertainment Weekly, MTV, Star Wars.com, the Star Wars Blog, Star Wars Insider, at the Star Wars celebrations, and have even made it to the #1 spot on the front page of Reddit numerous times.  These items would be great to buy for self to add to a unique collection or as gift for a loved one.

These unique creations were the first of each of their kind.  The mash ups they represent had never been done before and have since inspired countless imitations and other incarnations from toy companies, to traditional artists drawings, to cosplayers and whole conventions.   

I hope my work can find its way into the hands and homes of fans who will appreciate them.
