Hey all. This is my first G.I. Joe custom. Hopefully you don't take it as a sacrelige since its not of a Joe subject. I decided to make a fully articulated Ghostbuster out of some Joe parts. I even wrote a backstory for him.

Recipe:
Head - 82 Zap
Torso - 00 Big Ben (modified)
Waist - 00 Whiteout
Arms - 00 Whiteout
Upper legs - 00 Big Ben
Lower Legs - 00 Whiteout
Walkie-talkie - 00 Firefly
Proton Pack - Completely Scratchbuilt

"In the early part of this decade, the newly re-formed Cobra began experimenting with the paranormal, just like their Nazi forebears. Like many of Cobra Commander's plans, it was not well thought out. Soon, he had unleashed hordes of undead with no plan for controlling them. In response to this new threat, G.I. Joe contacted the Ghostbusters in New York to license their technology. At first, Dr. Spengler balked at the idea of their technology being used as tools of war, until he realized that there was no other alternative. These file photos show G.I. Joe operative Zap outfitted in standard issue paranormal-elimination equipment during trial runs."

that's awesome. Are you going to make a couple more? You could make a unit of 4 or 5 joes kind of like the movie!

Beautiful! :applause:

Looks a bit like Dan Akroyd :D

Hey! How'd you do the sweet GB logo?!??

-PJ

Thanks for the kind words, folks. They mean a lot. Basically for the logo I sliced a piece of white paper with my exact-o blade in the rough shape of the symbol. I then drew in the red parts with a red magic marker. Took me two or three tries to nail it.

Great job!

I say he looks like Bill Murray, nice!

i had a bad feeling about this thread.............
hehehehhe and it's been realized.
- that is a great custom! now you need a ghost, and the little trap thing they throw out onto the floor.....
yes, that is total sacrilige . -but worth it . hilarious.

That is hot but u should make all the ghost busters some one on joecustoms made other 80's toys came out good

Thats the coolest thing I've seen all week. I'm a huge GB fan too so its twice as cool imo.

neato....but with a balrog head and you got wiston, with a scoop head you get veigman,

I really like it.

I think thats cool!!
