GI Joe 25th Anniversary
Chrome Crimson Guard Custom GI Joe Figure
FrogDNA has made some really great enhancements to the GI Joe 25th Anniversary line with his chrome work and detailed shading with his Custom Crimson Guard figure. Striving to retain the classic nature of the cartoon, FrogDNA has used his stills to apply chrome and accents in all of the right places. Let’s read more about how he achieved this look:
For this Crimson Guard I used Palisades’statue and the artwork from the blister as reference to bring to life this classic figure. There’s some airbrushed shading on his uniform and backpack, glossy paints on his helmet, boots and leather parts of his uniform and matt paints where was needed, to enhance the realistic look. You can actually see some reflections on his helmet! The gloss/matt effect is enhanced by several layers of clear coat, glossy and opaque as well.
FrogDNA has this figure and others so be sure to check out his auctions over at eBay!

Custom Crimson HISS and Killer WHALE
proudpaapaa1 has allocated budget to the Crimson Guards and given them a way attack on land and sea with his
Custom Crimson Cobra HISS Tank and Killer WHALE GI Joe vehicles. What a way to upgrade Cobra’s Elite forces! The devil is in the details with this one as he has made a great color scheme and design for some classic GI Joe and Cobra figures. The blues and crimson red are in the right places on the HISS Tank and I like the upside down triangle cobra symbol on the side of the tank as it makes it look more militaristic. Take a look at the detailing below:
Custom Crimson Cobra HISS
As for the Killer WHALE, it was captured by the Crimson Guard and redone and what a great looking vehicle this is. Again, the crimson red is the right shade and I love the choice of blue on this one. The alternating colors really accent the right pieces on the vehicle and I love the addition of the cobra symbols on the front of hovercraft:
