Law & Order G.I. JOE Custom Action Figure Art Take 2

I made my first Law and Order a few years ago and I was really happy with how they turned out. Since then, Hasbro gave us this ROC version. But that wasn't even close to what we wanted from a Law and Order so I thought it was time to give them another go.

I had two objectives with this piece; 1) Make the colors and details even closer to the vintage figure card art and 2) More accurately and realistically equip the figures including gear and painted details.

I researched German Shepards to get Order's fur just right and I even gave him a "wet" nose. The "MP" waterlide decals I created for my original piece still look great on the helmet and arm band. (I printed an extra set so contact me if you want to buy a pair for your custom.)

"It's getting late, Order. And Shipwreck still hasn't checked in. Cover Girl said he was headed this way after the bar closed. I can't imagine how he got in here but it's a good thing I brought the bolt cutters."
Photobucket
"Wake up, Shipwreck! By the smell of your breath, I'm guessing that cup isn't filled with Slurpee."
"Woof, woof!"
Photobucket
"On your feet sailor! I'm not carrying you back to base this time!"

"Quiet night tonight, Order."
Photobucket
"Woof, woof!"
"You spot something there, buddy?"
Photobucket
"Oh no, a Cobra Viper from Rise of Cobra! You're in real trouble, pal. Order really hated that movie!"
Photobucket
I went a bit crazy with the gear but I wanted to include everything Law and Order would need to keep the peace among the JOEs. I hope you dig 'em. If you do, follow me at the links on the right side of the page or leave a comment. (I read all posted comments.) Until next time, I remain "The Insidious One."

  1. Love him! I hope the red shirt law will come to us soon :( Trying to recreate my childhood heroes with a modern set of joes but in retro gear. So far it's looking good so far.. but missing my law and order! When I found this I was floored! Let me know what a figure like this would cost to have you make it for me! Wonderful work, you've definitely got a fan!

  2. Thanks for the props, JC. When the new Law & Order were announced, I hoped they would be closer to the original colors as well.
