2D's custom GI JOE Tomax and Xamot Figures

These two were some of my favorite toys as a kid. And they've become my favorite customs as of late. They're basically Marvel Legends Bullseye bodies with Daredevil heads from the Spider-man line. I used those heads because I saw customs of the twins using those heads a few years back and thought they captured such sleazy character in them.

I ended up getting rid of the lateral point of motion in the calves in favor of a more smooth sculpt. I was about to get rid of the forearm articulation as well, but realized it was really important for playability. So I just tried to make them as least noticeable as possible. Their handguns are removeable but their knives are not. I still think these guys have the coolest costumes and sculpting the details was fun. Having to do them twice was not so much fun.

Telling which twin was who proved confusing for me. I had used the original Tomax figure (my Xamot figure got destroyed as a kid) as reference in order to get every single costume detail perfect. I did the exact opposite for Xamot and gave him the scar on his right cheek as I was sure that's where his scar was. But I never realized until recently that their show and comic appearance was actually reversed from their costumes from the toys. In the toy Xamot had his scar on his left cheek and had the left sided costume. So I painted over the scar, and gave it to the other guy and my Xamot became Tomax, and vice versa. Yea, that sounded more interesting inside my head.
