Repeater -Original Version (The Way It Should Be)

I'm not sure what possess Hasbro to want to want to kick me in the gut, then wad up, chew and spit out my childhood memories by turning guys into girls and white people black. I guess it can only be explained by political correctness and ethnic diversity, I hope they all get a lump of coal in there stockings!

To set the record straight I have nothing against Ethnic diversity. If you want more black (G.I.)  Joes though make a new character, don't change a current one. In this case they took Repeater a long time Gunnery Sgt. and made him black. Below you can compare the two:
 CLASSIC REPEATER
NEW ROC REPEATER

So this lead me to take matters in my own hand (a thing that is becoming all too common with the ROC wave). I used the Toys R Us exclusive Troop Builder 5 Pack Footloose body, the spare Zartan head from the same pack, then the same pack's hat, gun, vest and gloves from their Repeater. The result is very close to the original.

I already have a version 2 planned with a Slayer Design Studios (formerly Tri-Gate) head. Stay tuned for updates!

Dr. Mindbender -Lab Coat Version

There's something about a mad evil scientist doctor that screams they should not run around bare chested. Maybe it's that I prefer none of my male Joes do, who knows. Whatever the reason this led me to create a more traditional lab coat version of Dr. Mindbender....

The formula was simple. I took the head/hands/legs/feet of the Defense of Cobra Island seven pack Dr. Mindbender figure and put them on a ROC (Rise of Cobra) Storm Shadow coated body. It was a simple mod, but sometimes the simplest things make the biggest difference.
