Here it is a rather different custom for a change, Brad Turner in GI Joe style! I never had any MASK toy as a kid, never saw any, although I liked very much the cartoon and saw it plenty of times. Only learned much later the existance of the toyline.

In my opinion, it would have been much better in 3.75. I toyed with the idea, and much more after the release of Trakker as 25th figure, such a pity that was unfollowed. I even sold a few MASK figures I had collected, in hope of introducing them as customs in the GI Joe universe.

But alas, I was asked first by a client to make them! this is the second MASK custom I do after Matt Trakker.

Hence, the original idea was to use 25th Buzzer, but it was madness trying to avoid paint rub on an all bright yellow figure. Hence I brainstormed and thought AIM soldier was the right base figure! bad thing, was that the MU is considerably taller, but I realized that was due to a extra long legs, so I cut them and reduced them till making him nicely GI Joe 3.75 compatible.

The most difficult part was making the MASK nicely removable. I was hours sanding the casted plastic helmet (I had to sculpt it first, then mould it) until it was as fine as a feather, yet still solid.

I will probably make a vintage version now that I have the mould for my own collection :) .
