Sideshow G. I. JOE custom Dreadnok Pirate Zanzibar (modern version)
Joe compatible custom Dreadnok'pirate' Zanzibar! Despite some flaws and shortcomings of Sideshow's G.
Joe figure line - the biggest of which was their failure to make more figures - it was way better than anything Hasbro made in 1/6 scale. Zartan and the Dreadnoks were some of my favorite and most played with figures when I was a kid and the ones I scrounged the hardest for after the 25th Anniversary releases. The last picture in this listing shows how far I have managed to make it in the last 3 years while also giving a preview of my upcoming 1/6 scale Dreadnok listings. PLEASE NOTE: this listing is only for Zanzibar!
Background goodies ARE NOT INCLUDED. Phicen M33 body with a host of accessories from Easy & Simple, World Box, Soldier Story, and other premium 1/6 scale manufacturers.
Did my best to reflect and stay true to the original 1/18 scale figure while also'updating' it to reflect a more modern version of what this character might look like if released today. I think this is an awesome figure which would add to any 1/6 scale G. Joe collection while also being a decent enough build to slot into any other 1/6 scale figure set as a stand alone figure. Make it yours before someone else makes it theirs!
PLEASE NOTE: Those of you not familiar with Phicen figure bodies: these figures are primarily meant for realism to assist in the most dynamic display. Though they are very posable as shown in the pictures - dynamic posing takes patience and care. 1 The hands I used for this figure are Easy & Simple'soft' hands which I chose for looks - they are a bit oversized for a tight grip on the weapon accessories - a bit of poster putty may be needed to ensure a fixed grip with the pistol hand; 2 The smaller necklace actually is a long necklace with a bullet and dogtags attached. Said attachments hang down the back of the figure and are covered by the vest. They can be displayed or removed according to your preference.
3 The Marine Corps boots are peg type - their flexibility forward and backward is limited by their height and the thickness of the leg. 4 The silencer for the pistol is in the right vest pocket, there are 2 clips for the rifle in the left vest pocket. 5 The Rolex watch's face sticker comes off rather easily while posing the figure. If anyone knows of a safe, permanent glue that won't damage the sticker or the soft plastic of the watch band - please send me a message! 6 The sling bag unfortunately lacks the length adjustability necessary to properly fit it around the figure like the real thing - likely due to the width of this figure's torso.
Think I have covered everything that might be a con regarding this custom - pictures should show all the pros! FREE worldwide registered, tracked, and insured mailing via An Post International. Questions welcome, please check out my other items, peace, respect, and thanks for looking!
