Blood for the Baron!

I also got in a few issues of Battle Action Force. I've never seen these in person before and they are very well drawn. The coloring project here is great and I may pick up a few more of the original issues in the future (but the postage is killer from the UK).

I have lots of spares still. If you do want any let me know and I'll forward on my spares list to you.

Siverc, I think custom is really excellent! How did you get the SAS logo to look so good? Is it a transfer? Where can I get one????

When I first made the Blades custom, it turned out fine, but the hand-painted SAS logo I did was absolutely awful. The logos look so good now because they are stickers. Cobrastickers.com has a bunch of Action Force stickers... The faction style ones, like SAS/Z-Force, etc are here:

They are located in Canada, but ship worldwide. They also have some AF vehicle stickers too, but the selection is limited for now. I used their stickers for the Red Shadows custom helicopter and also for the custom Escape Armor I made too. I am hoping in the near future they will sell more AF vehicle sets (especially the hyena). The sticker sets are a little expensive, but very high quality and pre-cut, so they are easy to apply. The SAS set has some that are small enough to fit on the torso of figures (like Blades). I even used some of them on my 25th anniversary custom Blades and cut the "SAS" text out of the middle of one of the stickers to use on the 25th Hunter custom.

The small cobra chest emblem stickers are good for cobra trooper customs too.

I have bought a few GI-Joe replacement sets from them as well and they look awesome, just need some more that they dont have yet such as a set for the Bridgelayer.

I still want a Tiger Paw and Zanzibar's skiff sheets I bought both off vehicles on E-Bay without any decals on them. There are Dragonfly decals now but I am not sure how they would fit on my Custom Dragonfly.

Another source for repro stickers is J.Ruben, a guy out of Mexico who supposedly makes some really nice sets. I have not ordered from him yet, but I am planning on doing so soon. The prices are a lot cheaper than cobrastickers.com, and he offers a lot more sticker sets... but they are not pre-cut. He also only has sticker sets for American released vehicles (as far as I know), and does not have any faction stickers.

I need some stickers for an ASP, MMS, and Check Point Alpha, but cobra stickers does not sell them, so I think I will try J.Ruben instead.

You can see pictures of his sticker sets here:

He's got a listing over on yojoe with all of the different sets and prices available:

Cool, he has a lot of those I am looking for. Let me know how it goes with your deal and then maybe I will order some as well.

Here are a few new additions...

The Mobile Command Center. I found a guy selling this who lives only a few miles from my place so it was great not to have to pay shipping. Plus it's 100% complete and in great shape.



It even had the box!



I also got another vintage box, the Silver Mirage



And something I have been searching for quite a while...the original cassette tape from the Listen N Fun Tripwire. Gotta love that analog goodness.

Awesome, I have that MCC too with original box but unfortunately I kicked off one of the front guns a couple of months ago during a much needed cleanup. It was on the floor with the other vehicles and I had to pass by with my size 10½....not ideal

i have the action force mirage box, not in quite as good condition as yours though.
