The Fridge

Back in 1987, Hasbro ran a promotion in which if you collected and mailed in 5 inserts, you could get a free (plus shipping and handling, please allow 6-8 weeks for delivery, ask your parents) William "The Refrigerator" Perry action figure. This was Hasbro's second attempt at a G.I. Joe figure based on a real person, the first being professional wrestler Sgt. Slaughter back in 1986. Unlike Slaughter, The Fridge didn't become a part of G.I. Joe lore or continuity in the animated series or comics, but it may have been interesting to see. Possibly for legal reasons, The color of Fridge's jersey was slightly altered from his Chicago Bears colors to a paler blue with red highlights, I've corrected that here. I've also added a fully functional flail for him, as opposed to Hasbro's original football on a stick.

Formula:

Head and Torso: Custom cast from TheAngelForge
Arms: Marvel Universe Ares
Legs: Marvel Universe Cable, hip pads sculpted with Green Stuff
Football Flail: Custom cast from AVAC'S LAB, modded with parts from Boss Fight Studios

Helmet: Starting Lineup

Paints used: Citadel, Model Master.

Thanks for looking.

Kraken (Action Force)

The Kraken was initially released in the UK Action Force line by Palitoy in 1984, and to date, has never had a modern update by Hasbro. I suppose the closest counterpart he would have had in the original RAH G.I. Joe line would have been the Hydro-Viper from 1988. Since I've been building up a Red Shadows team for my Multiverse, I thought this was a necessary addition.

Formula:

Head: Unknown, donated by Swizzlesticks Customs
Body, Trident, Stand: Boss Fight Studios
Vest, leg knife: Marauder Task Force
Net: Croc Master v4
Red Shadows decal: Bad Mother Tattoos and Customs

Paints used: Citadel, Model Masters.

Thanks for looking.

Roadblock (Tiger Force)

While Hasbro did release a Tiger Force Roadblock in the FSS 6.0 wave, the aftermarket price point is still a bit too high for me to obtain one. Knowing full well I had a bunch of spare parts and some paint laying around, I created this one instead. It also utilizes the Dwayne Johnson Retaliation version, which has actually grown on me despite not being everyone's favorite interpretation of the character. Tiger stripes created with a Micron .005 pen.

Formula:

Upper body, arms, head: Roadblock v22
Right hand, legs, machine gun, ammo, pistol, knife: Heavy Duty v13
Harness: Marauder Task Force
Helmet: Specialist Dusty v1
Chef's hat. apron, oven mitt, pie: Boss Fight Studios
Frying pan: Snow Job v7

Paints used: Citadel, Model Master


Thanks for looking.
