Yo Joe! SF*2009 Group Costume Planning Thread

Just call me Iron Hammer

[image=http://www.collectiondx.com/gallery2/gallery/d/63157-3/ironhammer01.jpg]

 

Dan and I have a plan we're toying with for next year. So y'all might have some competition.

Besides, I've never been that big of a GI Joe fan.

 

I see no problem with that, it might even make for an interesting inner group dynamic for bragging rights.

 

I just had a thought. I think I'll start a new thread with it!

 

i like that idea...mixes the two.

 

Hey, would some of you comic book geniuses please help me find more pictures of Heart Wrencher please?


Thanks!

 

I'm changing mine. I definitely want to be Flash. It was the first GIJoe figure I ever got and my favorite next to Snake Eyes.

 

Im in. Snake Eyes it is.


Geez, if you didn't want me to talk so much, you could have just said so.

 

Here's what I've found so far Sarnia

Heart-Wrencher
Real Name: Unknown


Bio:
One of the few women to become Dreadnoks, Heart-Wrencher was first seen as a member of Zartan's organized, expanded Dreadnok organization, some time after the break up of Cobra in 1995. Little is known about her past. Her nickname is an appropriate one, since she is often seen wielding a huge wrench as a weapon.

After the entire Dreadnok organization had begun working for Cobra, Heart-Wrencher and other Dreadnoks attacked Roadblock while the Joe was taping his television cooking show in Los Angeles, on orders from Tomax and Xamot. She later joined Cobra in the fight against the forces of a revived Serpentor on Cobra Island, and continues to be included in many of the Dreadnoks' biggest operations.

JP - you ROCK

thank you so much!!!!!


Any suggestions on a comic store I can go and look thru these at?

 

Here's a couple that should be in your neck of the woods Sarnia.


Mile High Comics , 760 S Colorado Blvd, Denver

Mile High Comics , 60 W Littleton Blvd, Littleton

And here is a couple more pics, but I'm not sure that they're Heart-Wrencher, 'cause they don't quite match the other one.

Well... Supposedly, she's the only other female Dreadnok other than Zarana, so I'd guess that's her. Maybe that's a wig or some snake-like helmet thingy.

 

Yeah, that was why I posted them, and cover art characters don't always match with the interior art.

 

I think it is about time that we change the title of the thread.

What should the name of the costume project be called?

 

Yo Joe!!! Starfest 2009 Group Costume Planning Thread

 

Half the Battle - SF*2009 Costume Planning Thread

 

Hmm the more I think about it, the more I want to put together Flash for Comic-Con in 3 months. The gun and backpack will be the hardest part methinks.

 

Check out Airsoft... They seem to have everything As long as it's close, I'm sure someone can help you figure out the rest

 

I was looking at the airsoft stuff, they have some pretty cheap pistols if you can find them on sale, I saw a few as low as three bucks!

 

so im doing destro??? i dunno....





i have alot of work to do dont i? i have quite a few ideas on how to make this happen and im really glad that i have a year to do it.

I ran across some pics of the new costumes here.

I'll say this: I would MUCH rather go with the old skool 80s action figure look than this.

I totally agree, I would much rather go the 80's style any day.
