This is actually mind blowing you can just make your own custom figures it’s like a dream come true

[@mechamanblade8465]

Nice customs. I love Marauder GR's stuff. They really help fill in the holes of my modern 4 inch G.I. Joe collection. I used their parts to make my own Footloose, Iceberg, Jinx, Scoop, Bomb Strike, Zaranna, and a Female Cobra Trooper.

[@MichaelMercy]

Marauder Bombstrike looks great.

[@humble1ne]

One of the things that drew me to Joe in '82 was first playing with my Brother's Joes from the 60s and 70s. They came with so many accessories - grenades, knives, sheaths, pouches, sidearms, holsters! The combinations were endless! MGR offers us the same with their endless accessories and they're inexpensive which makes it easier for us customizers, diorama-architects and troop-builders. Love your Joe Colton and Hardtop - you used better parts and accessories than Hasbro did with their modern HT.

I'm not a toy collector but I grew up in the 80s and I have to say watching your videos is so relaxing. Very therapeutic. Thank you for the content

[@MichaelMercy]

Thank you.

[@jacort75]

I love Marauder Gun Runners. I made myself a General MacArthur figure last year. The pricing is awesome.

[@jeremygray6066]

That's a tool belt that would make Batman jealous. You deserve an Oscar nomination for the production of this video well done never knew of the first Joe thank you for the history

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.

[@drsyn9136]

With Colton I did something similar. But gave him the shirt torso and rolled up sleeves. Gave his temples some grey too. All he needs is a good working shoulder holster. Along with the fist and chop hand options he's ready for anyone interrupting his work day.

[@MichaelMercy]

Seen this one? www.marauderinc.com/product-p/mtf-k2580.htm

[@drsyn9136]

@@MichaelMercy Thought about that one, but with the holster attached it juts out too much. I will probably give him the Eagle Force Returns one from the upcoming accessory pack.

[@kevindavis4456]

Now that is cool! Didn't know about Marauder Gun Runners. You should totally make your own original custom character.

[@walterwright8454]

Impressive, they can make their own figures....

[@fernandoneder1850]

Great Custom Figures. The articulations and even the head mold reminds me of the Joytoy Figures.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thank you.

[@guywillis1281]

Love these.
I have a club hardtop, but this just gave me inspiration for an entire crew for Hardtop to command.
And same with Colton. I already was about to hit marauder for parts to make basically a GI Joe version of CIA. Investigative, operative special group, so I'll build my own Colton and a group for him to lead as well.
Love the videos man

[@farminglittlepeople9623]

Those are both great Mike! That Hardtop guy is really awesome with all this accessories!👍

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks! I'm digging the Defiant so much more just because of this Hardtop figure now.

[@OldManTheseDays]

I’ve heard of them but never looked through their site. Amazing custom fodder there! Nice job putting these together. They look great!

[@MichaelMercy]

Great site. So many customizing options. Already thinking about the next custom figures to make. That standard body they made works so well for so many difference figures. I also used them to make the 4 Earth Corps figures from Inhumanoids outside of their suits.

[@task_force_figures_games]

While doing this have a mug of hot water...dip for about 30-45 seconds and you can pull apart and put together soooo much easier.

[@T7nowhere]

That's really cool, I didn't know something like this existed. Thanks for showing your build.

[@MichaelMercy]

Glad you enjoyed. Yo Joe.

[@chickhazzard]

So cool ! didn't know this was a thing! I'm a lego collector for this exact reason. I played with Gi Joe until 87. That isn't completely true, I got the Warthog, I loved the sarge! I preferred realistic military vehicles.

[@MichaelMercy]

Warthog and that version of Sarge were awesome.

[@KirkLee1983]

I just found and bought a Vintage hard top figure for $8 dollars today at the flee market.

[@Stefoshark]

Look great 😊

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks.

[@corypatenaude2144]

Absolutely awesome. Great job love your videos.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thank you. Take care.

[@JasonKeane]

I used to love recreating classic Action Force/GI Joe figures and building my own customs until Marauders stopped shipping to the EU :(
A lot of custom figures went unfinished because of their sudden shutdown of the EU market.

[@MichaelMercy]

Sorry to hear that.

[@Roadpigjohn]

I love these types of videos to give you ideas on how to make some nice Joe's😀👍🎯💡

[@carlitosway8569]

Very cool figures good job

[@MichaelMercy]

Thank you. Cheers.

[@Backwoods78]

Those are really kool builds.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thank you.

[@paulthe501cooltrooper8]

When will you do reviews on the GI JOE retro collection

[@MichaelMercy]

Probably when I do the history of whatever year they came out.

[@171QA]

Neat.

[@gazz_N7]

Awesome customs Michael!!! Marauders are great, with many, many options. One of my of my favorite customs I made using them was the entire SG1 team from Stargate, because Col. Jack O'Neill would make one heck of a Joe!! Thanks for sharing!! Nerdmasté

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks Gazz.

[@alansmith19890]

Really annoyed that they won't ship to the UK. They'd sell a ton of these.

[@gregsamarael1753]

you missed the MTF geared up version of Hardtop, it had a special construction helmet with mic on it👍

[@MichaelMercy]

Googled it. Looks cool but I like how mine looks more.

[@gregsamarael1753]

@@MichaelMercy well if ever they release it with a bunch more colors you can make a Tollbooth Marauder look-a-like. personally, i will use it to make an Engineer from Red Alert 2😁

[@MichaelMercy]

Tollbooth is a good idea, since the club version is so expensive now.

[@joestanley8692]

Your figure looks better than the original.

[@MichaelMercy]

Thanks.

[@joestanley8692]

You can make new different figures. Like new dreadnoks. Lol

[@scottblanco5991]

Can you get replica packaging cards made up for GI Joe figures? These would look great with the package cards

[@MichaelMercy]

Yes, Beggar's Canyon sells them.

[@scottblanco5991]

@@MichaelMercy thank you sir! I had no idea where to get them!

[@iscariotproject]

sucks that marauders dont sell to europe this is the perfect replacement for 25th joe line

[@da_ghoul9432]

More pouches than a Rob Liefeld comic!

[@MichaelMercy]

Eat your heart out, Cable.

[@jdioramasjdioramas2814]

Is this 1/18 scale

[@MichaelMercy]

Yes.

[@andrewpapienuk8586]

[@Vincent-396]

Hreat job on your creativity. Now, time to spend more money. 🙄

[@MichaelMercy]
