Heeeeeeeey! Welcome back! Thanks for dropping by! Did you come to see a new mash-up? Well too bad you’re gonna see one anyway!

I really liked Wild Weasel’s action figure as a kid. He was dressed all in red and had a really cool looking helmet. But see, the helmet covers his whole face and that’s something I’ve been trying to avoid with mash-ups because I want to see the faces. On top of that, he’s a vehicle driver so he didn’t have a classic figure card. But his name is Wild WEASEL! Come on! I had to pick him for Mina. I think this one turned out kinda snazzy.

That’s all for this week! Come back next week as we visit…come back and find out! 😀

G.I. JOE – Ripcord

This is the intro to the mash-up, the paragraph into to the mash-up. Carja called me up and asked if I could write an intro. I’m almost halfway finished. How do you like it so far? How do you like the intro to the mash-up? (If you get it, you get it).

The year of Mina continues and this week it’s G.I. JOE. Tough choice for the Joe side. I won’t do Snake-Eyes because…it’s Snake-Eyes. My memories of playing with Ripcord came to mind as I was thinking so I went with it. I thought the posing would be an interesting challenge. It didn’t turn out half-bad by my standards. I think this is a fun one.

That’s all for this week. Next week it’s COBRA’s turn. Any guesses? Find out if your guess is right next Wednesday!

Hello Joe! See what I did there? The theme is G.I.JOE and I called you…ahem. Yes. Welcome to another Wednesday of mash-up fun!

This week is the final Cobra mash-up (until I decide another new character deserves some classic mash-up theme treatment). As always, click on a picture to enlarge it.

Chae closes things out as Felina (the Kitty version of Serpentor). Serpentor’s colours are green and gold so of course I did one layer with those colours. However, while green works well for a snake, I wasn’t convinced that it was the best choice for a cat. I searched for alternate colour schemes and while I didn’t find any official repaints, there were some custom paint jobs out there with the Python Patrol colours. I thought they looked sharp so I tried that as well. My personal choice for colours were purple and silver so I did a layer of that also. All that work to find out that really, the green and gold looked the best (my personal choice I felt gave more of a Shredder from TMNT vibe). At least in my opinion…what do y’all think?

Only the official Serpentor colours got onto the action figure card.

That’s all for this week. Next time is a new theme! Find out which one next Wednesday?

Hello and good Wednesday to you! It’s great to see you. Ready for a new mash-up? Of course you are. Let’s get to it.

We saw some new Joes, now it’s time for some new Cobra characters. As always, click on a picture to enlarge it.

I really avoided Firefly the first time around because I didn’t want to feature any characters wearing masks. “If he’s wearing a mask, nobody can tell who’s wearing it, so what’s the point of calling it a mash-up?” Well, when it came time for Skitter to join the Cobra ranks, I had trouble finding an iconic Cobra character. In the end, I decided the mask wasn’t so bad because you could see the fur around his eyes and tell it was Skitter. I’m glad I did, because I love this piece! So here’s Skitterfly.

Here’s Skitterfly’s action figure card.

And that’s all for this week. See you next Wednesday for Chae’s turn at being the Kitty Empress!

G.I.JOE – Bomb Strike

It is now time for the Wednesday Mash-up!

It’s a return to the Joeverse today. As always, click on a pic to enlarge it.

I don’t know why, but when it came to the Joe side, I really wanted the girls to dress up as female Joe characters. I didn’t have the same hang-up when it came to the Cobra side…It worked out fine for the others. I had four girls to dress up, there are four main Joe gals. For Chae though, I really had to dig (which is fitting, her being a mole and all). In digging, I found Bomb Strike. She doesn’t have the most elaborate uniform or anything, but all in all, I think it turned out alright.

Here’s the card. Bomb Strike originally appeared on a Venom vs. Valor card. I used the pose from that release on a vintage card. I found what I think is a mock-up someone made of what a 25th anniversary card for Bomb Strike would have looked like, but I liked the Venom vs. Valor artwork better.

That’s all for this week. Next week it’s Kitty’s turn!
