Great video, I admire people who have the means and ability to pull something like this off. If only sets like this were made today, over some of the high price crowd funding stuff from big companies, that would be amazing fun sets with a feel of vintage, but expand the original lines relatively cheaply.
I love this! Not only does it look like a remaster of the vintage playset, but the use of terror drome parts gives it the feel of an earlier time in Cobra's history. Thank you for sharing this, definitely inspired to do something like this myself now.
I had the original cardboard playset. Fun in its own way. My GI Joe team stopped Cobra from launching that missile almost every week. Even when I played Doctor Who with my figures, Cobra failed in their launch attempts. Your custom looks great. Fantastic job. I am envious of this community's ability to work with paint and glue. I work with printed tab and slot assembly cardstock paper models because I can print it out in color and not get glue or paint a over me. (Like I always do)
Thank you, Chad. Seeing your process in action is really helpful for getting ideas for how to approach some of my own projects that have been on the back burner. 😊👍
Excellent video! Really appreciate how you did this as a step-by-step tutorial, so that other collectors can follow this same process and create their own playsets. Nicely done!👍
Sooo much decisive detail! This is great coverage. Thanks for the info on paint pens. I was always leery of using them on plastic, but now I know it’s safe. And magnets…Oh….magnets go to custom toys like bullets go to guns! Brilliant!
Awesome job!!! You took something that was blah and made it badass. Hope you do more custom videos so much fun to watch. Love the bloopers at the end 😂😂😂
This is a great video Chad. You make great customs. I hope you continue to make more videos like these. Great work. This custom Cobra Missile Command Center is fantastic!
@Its.Chad. Would love to see more. People are aching for ideas about good alternatives for playsets and vehicles since Hasbro has the "We'll make it for you, but at 3 times the cost that it should be." attitude... Mattel has at least tried with $100 and under playsets(two Castle Grayskulls, a Snake Mountain and the Lightyear base(too bad it was tied to a mediocre movie...). Yeah, they gigged us with Eternia, but apparently every company wants it's chance to be a b-hole...
I really enjoyed this video. The discussion of your thought processes as you worked through the build were really excellent. I've been stacking up stuff to customize into JOE vehicles and playsets for a while, but I wouldn't have thought to look for this set. So many of the cheap items have great sculpts, but use such cheap, shampoo-bottle plastic that I shy away from them. You've convinced me to order this playset and add yet another project to my already too-long to-do list.
Wow that was a great walk through and missile base you made. I love seeing the process of other customizers and makers. I have a folder just like yours filled with old stickers from sets, prints and toyhax. The stickers on the screens worked really well. Really great work.
i was 10 in 82 when the G.I. Joe 3 3/4" toy line came out, personally i always loved those late 70s/early 80s cardboard playsets. but i literally never even knew this set existed until the early 2000s when i got my first computer, there were A LOT of Sears and others exclusives i had no idea existed when i was a kid. i remember my friend in the early 80s had the famous Blue Snaggletooth and i use to marvel at it because it was the only one i had ever seen and he had no memory of where it had come from, it was like the mid 90s after i had become a collector that i learned about it and solved that old mystery.
@@Its.Chad. it came out great, i work at Wal Mart and stared at this set plenty of times thinking about getting it to customize but i already cant display all the stuff i want. yeah the vintage set is really cool, i got the slightly different set when they reissued it a few years back for a con exclusive or something.
I know I said it already, but I love this custom playset! Finally got everything I needed together today and started working on it. Thank you for the guide and inspiration!
WOW! That's incredible sir! What is it Michael French always says 'The fans are doing the best work'. Excellent video, really enjoyed seeing thsi awesome custom come together
Wow! That’s a awesome play set that I would love to have in my collection. It looks like a real Hasbro Gi Joe 1980s type toy. Thank you for sharing your experience and techniques for customizing stuff.
Turned out great! Those Toyhax stickers really made the computer parts look amazing. Really does look like a good version of the old Cobra Cardboard base. That playset looks like it'd be great to customize as a service bag for a Halo Mantis. One bit of advice- DUPLICOLOR AUTOMOTIVE SPRAY PAINT FOR PLASTIC AND VINYL is what you want to use on any custom. It comes in a bunch of colors and bonds to plastic, vinyl and even rubber! It's amazing for customs and can be a perfect universal primer coat- taking acrylics without any problems. I keep a can of black and one of white for primer now (though I love that Tamiya for models).
Thank you for making this video. I decided to give it a try while going a different route with the colors. I also liked the idea of the terror dome computers panels.
Very cool, Chad. Thanks so much for doing this so we can see your process. Very helpful and inspiring. Gave me an idea for something I've been thinking of making. It's awesome that the Terror Drome parts fit in there so well.
You sir, are a true genius and customizer. So many people today think that popping some parts off of a figure and putting them on another one is customizing. There is SO much more to it than just boil and pop, and you have shown that masterfully here.
Thanks! I truly appreciate that. I just want to share easy tips so anyone can do more customizing and not just kit bash stuff (even though I do that too).
Great job man! Nice amount of weathering without overkill. Its always crazy to see how may little details these kids toys have when you paint them as opposed to the clown vomit blob of colors they are sold in.
I like what you've done here. There's nothing like turning a cheap toy into something more with just some kibble and paint. Thanks for sharing the progress!
This was SO great! Thank you for taking the time to do this. As a big fan of your channel and live chats, this was really cool to see how you put your work into your customs. I've been wanting to dive into those waters, but really didn't know where to start, nor the skill. Seeing you walk through your stages and thoughts was such a cool segment. Whenever you have time, a video like this sharing your rad custom skills will be greatly appreciated!
Destro did a great job purchasing that base, Cobra Commander seems satisfied. Cobra La La La! Also the Click N' Play brand have a nice base, command center, a ton of vehicles & aircrafts, lookout, checkpoint and living quarters that scale really well with O' Rings Joe, the downside is that they became popular and are difficult to find in Amazon.
Great job, awesome result! I've been doing some more customizing lately and have my eye on some of those Kid Connection playsets. Thanks for this video!
Alright I must admit when I first saw that Wal Mart playset at the beginning of this video I did not like it at all. I thought to myself "no way would I have chosen that one". That ssaid, I hung in there to watch the full video. Once the primer was on & I saw how the missile would work I started to change my thoughts a little. Seeing it finished I have to admit that I too would like to do one. You did great.
Thanks very much! It’s always refreshing to see someone is open to stuff we may not normally consider. And I thank you for at least sticking in there for the finished product to decide. I really appreciate this comment and sentiment!!
Would have made a great Eco Warriors themed set as well. Just needs more neon and a vat a "slime" instead of the rocket. Catwalks are prime playset material.
Awsome custom! You make ‘em wanna go buy some cheap toys and customized them. Just don’t got the room. So glad I discovered Goo Gone. Has definitely saved many pieces for me. Like restoring a Jurassic Command Compound I picked up a while back.
Very awesome, I was looking at that playset in WM thinking about how I might do something similar if I get so inclined. But great to see your process and how it all came together. It looks Excellent.
@@Its.Chad. I’ve had my eye on the Dino set too. Got an idea for some kind of base but not worked out any details. Not even sure if it’ll go to Joe or maybe my Marvel universe figs.
It turned out very well. Nicely done. 👍🏻 Also, it is much sturdier than the original. I still want a video on how you hung up those planes in the background, please. 🙏🏻
I mean, yeah I could, but wanted to update the 82 playset semi-faithfully. A ‘90s neon playset would deserve its own entire bright color palette. Thanks 🤙🏼
If Playmobil started making 1/18 scale buildings, they'd corner the Joe market in a heartbeat! And even in their chonky scale, you can find lots of forest, jungle, and rocky scenery that'll work in 1/18 scale.
Excellent work brother! It'd be really interesting to go through the history or Hasbro/GiJoe and Sears. Sears had Joe exclusives going back to the early original 12" LINE.
Another 🔥 custom set! With an Ace, excuse me Wild Weasel lol of a guide video! 🍻 💯! More of these in a series Chad these (Deez) are Magnificent (That's what she said lol) Peace 🍻 💯 🎯👊🏽🙏🏽
I use the same craft/dollar store paint when I'm painting terrain. I just add a little water or paint thinner and it goes on much smoother. Any that set looks fantastic. Have you thought about doing a light black or brown wash followed by a white or grey dray wash to help bring out the details while add some more grung to the piece? Its what I do. Its simple and quick and I'm very happy with the results. Especialy since its great for hiding tiny f**k ups my old hands just arent up to anymore. A lot of people do a wash last but I like to do a second dry brush last to cover up any staining from the wash on the high areas. I get a little too heavy doing washes sometimes. 😂😂 I love your use of magnets btw. I got to try that in the future. I use toyhax as well.
Super 7 should have done this in plastic form instead of ship
There’s a ton they could’ve done, yeah
I love that you took us step by step and it was a long form video! You got my creative juices flowing again. (“That’s what she said!”)
Thanks, Pete!!
😂 she did say that, yeah

If I can do these things - anybody can! Thanks for the awesome comment.
Skidmark!!!!!! This video is a inspiration to anyone that has never done a custom before. Excellent job!!!!
Skidmaaaark! Haha. Glad you liked the video. These things aren't 'hard', they just need some tricks anybody can do.
DANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is one clever build! 'Countdown to Apocalypse' play set!
Thank you very much!! Anybody can do this stuff!
I'll always remember unwrapping this on Christmas morning,...played with it all day.,..great times and memories...your updated playset is incredible!
Thanks very much! And those memories are why I made it 🙌🏼
I love this! Not only does it look like a remaster of the vintage playset, but the use of terror drome parts gives it the feel of an earlier time in Cobra's history. Thank you for sharing this, definitely inspired to do something like this myself now.

Awesome customization. My Dad served in the Canadian Army(JTF2) for 35 years.
Awesome! Thanks much!
This is really good. It also feels like a classic ARAH playset, which I appreciate.
Thanks very much!! I appreciate that 🙌🏼
Awesome job!!! You took something that was blah and made it badass. Hope you do more custom videos so much fun to watch. Love the bloopers at the end 😂😂😂
I’ll definitely make more custom videos, thanks. I have a TON of projects waiting so there’s no shortage there.

That’s freaking awesome dude just fantastic
Thanks my man!!
It looks fantastic, great job Chad!
Thank you my man!! Truly appreciate that.
If Hasbro doesn't want money, that's fine by me. We'll make our own playsets

Great custom wonder what you would do for red shadows
Oh I bet I could do up something crazy for them with one of this company’s various playsets.
I see the Playmobil Ferry on the ground I also customized one and it goes soooo well with Joe! 41:53

And even in their chonky scale, you can find lots of forest, jungle, and rocky scenery that'll work in 1/18 scale.
You sure do! I made one an old school landing craft and put two M2A1 Bradleys in it. Good eye!
Excellent work brother! It'd be really interesting to go through the history or Hasbro/GiJoe and Sears. Sears had Joe exclusives going back to the early original 12" LINE.

A lot of people do a wash last but I like to do a second dry brush last to cover up any staining from the wash on the high areas. I get a little too heavy doing washes sometimes. 😂😂
I love your use of magnets btw. I got to try that in the future. I use toyhax as well.
Awesome!!
