Pretty cool 40th based customs

Fascinating, never seen anything quite like it!

I like the Hand of Bob one myself

GREAT POST Ross !

Great link Ross!

Now my big question is who can see the problem with these first issue 40th figures???

Look closely at the ones that haven't been modified too much! Let's see how many notice!

...don't want to spoil the fun, but aren't they GI Joe 40th figures?!

You train spotter Ross!!

We can notice they're 40th Joes but to the average member of the public they are just 'Action men' They were probably just the closest figures to hand for the project.

I've seen a few of these pics separately but never the whole 40/40 thing.

I bought 'Geezer' on page 15 from UK ebay last month... liked the bike too... it's very cool... it was £38 in total s pretty reasonable for a custom made by Kilm at

Who, it turned out, is a pretty famous designer dude..'Iron Giant' etc.. I emailed him about the figure and he replied and was cool and happy to hear about Geezer gave me some background to the figure

So Geezer is now a part of the Slackademy... the other figures in this competition are cool too... it was a cool project with Bob Brechin having fun with all the guys by the look of it!

Twas my point Ralph but if these were pre launch of 40th and I thought this was what I was gonna be buying I would have been disappointed with the product I actually received

Id love to see photos of him done by you Jason! Maybe he could have his own photo shoot in the Slackabinet? Is the motorcycle a Triumph Bonneville? Is he a 40th body with the new head and hands or is he a totally different figure?

WOW all these 40th based customs are ALL just OUTSTANDING.

He's a modern DID-type figure with a little customisation,  pot belly. ..and hair... I think Klim bypassed the '40th action man' requirement!!
I'll do some photos him and the bike is a late 60s bonneville. ..I'll get some VAMs on it and snap a few too... ...watch this cabinet!
