Just to elaborate, I'm thinking to make one from scratch I'll still need one to use as a template (to cut another box out of), doesn't matter if that's Joe or Cobra and the condition doesn't matter much, as long as it's a complete box it can be a scuffed up, bent up piece of junk. I don't want to kill any of my boxes in the process and I'm no longer at home to see if they can be laid out completely without destroying them. Ideally, I'll be able to do boxes from scratch, and then anyone with customs can send me their images, so I'd like to start there. If that doesn't work out, then we'll just use existing boxes and I'll just add my images to the box.
so will it open up like the sideshow boxes too. and have all the croc master summary in the middle.
It be cool to see 1/6 scale,1/6 scale Sideshow Joe boxes.
The pictures where taken reather hastily, I would rather shoot during the day, but my free time is winding up. I am going back to work on the road and want to get a feel for a few things from my fellow freaks and friends. Nam or one of you guys can most likely tell me if this is something that CAN be sold legally, I have read the forum rules but but do not know if something like this constitutes mass production, etc. Honestly, I don't even know if these are something that people would want to add to their dioramas/collections, but seeing as I am going to be away, this is something that I could easily pack up and kill some time with while I'm away for a month or so.
Well, for legalities, you're using Trademarked products without licensor approval but honestly, unless you get a C&D from Sideshow and/or Hasbro for Trademark infringement, I don't think anybody's gonna take an issue with you making these. And given what you're doing, I don't see that it impedes on any current license anyway; meaning these would not likely take away any revenue from any current license Hasbro's producing or leased out. Just don't produce thousands of them.
BTW, they're friggin' awesome!
Already planning them, I had that idea too a few weeks ago. It was going to be a suprise! I've got a few tricks left though...
Very cool idea.
A dio just came to mind... Hot Toys Terminator, in a store, filling up a duffle bag full of these.
I mean, that's what I'd do if I could send a Terminator back to the eighties.
