I got into Joe because I knew that I wanted to repair & restore Joe to his former glory. Now it has taken several years to develop the skills & abilities to do what I want, but I think I finally have something to show for all my time & effort on this front.

These two custom figures are from one of my favorite movies of all time. I have a few more tweaks to do to Ajax, I need to paint Jerry’s face & get a better cap for him. I made Ajax’s leather vest from some scrap leather I had on hand & Jerry’s baseball bat is made from a broken wooden coat hanger that I turned on my lathe.

The idea to make up a fencing Joe came to me while surfing eBay & from staring at the bird feeder Mrs. Mouse has hanging off the back deck.
Parts used:
Wal-Mart Joe Body
Vintage LA head that someone removed the beard
Dragon Darryl O Young Racer Undershirt & Trouser
Dragon undercover body-armor
Dragon Civil War CS Officer saber
BBI Mickey Mouse boots
Custom made fencing foils
A vintage Aerial Recon helmet that was severely damaged
I am still working on the helmet & may change the head.
Take care

I no longer have any need for this WWII German style helmet from Cotswald now that i'm not using it in my Henchman custom.
It's brand new and features a leather chin strap.
It's nice, but I'm not that into military figues and it doesn't fit on my fuzzy headed Joes well .
Anybody want to trade it for something?
My one painted head Action Soldier who is modeling it here could use a proper American soldier helmet or most of all, a rifle! I'm looking for a vintage or repro Hasbro one.
I finally finished my custom Limited Edition FHQ figure. Man it’s been about a year from start to finish on this guy. I would like to thank all my FHQ brethren that made this possible. So thank you, Jim, Eliot, Brian, Tom, & Chet. Special thanks to Don Coffey & thanks to a few other friends Bob for his fine casting work, Gary for parts & John for the mint blue jumpsuit. If I left anyone out sorry, I thank you too.
Here is to a great group of friends, have a cold one!

All of my Mad Mouse Custom Joe's in one place at the same time. I have been making custom Joe's for only about a year now & this is all of them to date. Most are built on vintage AT Joe bodies, five are newer Wal-Mart Joe's, & two are 40th.

Lighter camo from the Timeless Spy Island set. Green beret from the Joe Collectors Club. Handsome mug by Walmart Adventurer.
In case you don’t already know, “Live Free or Die” is the New Hampshire state motto.
The official state flag of New Hampshire was adopted in 1909 (but its design has been in use since 1784). The flag pictures the state seal on a deep blue field (background). The state seal has the ship "Raleigh" sailing near a large gray granite rock, in front of a yellow sun rising over blue water. The Raleigh was built to fight the British during the Revolutionary War. The scene is surrounded by the words, "SEAL OF THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE 1776," and yellow laurel leaves interspersed with nine yellow stars (since New Hampshire was the ninth state in the US). New Hampshire became a state in 1788.

Well I did it, I broke down & renewed my Club membership for 2009 & ordered Magnum Power last week. I received my Club Magnum Power set today. You talk about thrilled first Joe of 2009, I surgically opened the package & put it on a wally LA I had tucked away just for this. I may put it on a vintage MOA with good KFG hands later, but for now it's proudly standing on the shelf above my PC.
Take care

Sea Adventurer with KFG. Purchased in September 1974 with allowance money, San Diego CA. Served owner for three years until older teenage brother gave the Sea Adventurer haircut and shave. Emergency hair transplant performed with hair from a Mego "Batgirl". Sea Adventurer fell out of favor and was left at the bottom of the toybox.
In April of 1979, the Sea Adventurer along with a dismembered Micronaut and a Bay City Rollers 45 record were chucked into the foundation of a new gas station under construction. Sea Adventurer currently entombed in the foundation of former gas station that is now serving as a pottery shop.
