The video was dope. The extra icing on the cake that brought everything together was the final 1 minute of the video with the voice overs with the "pew pew pew" and dialogue. Good times!!!!!! :)
Caught your video by happenstance. Neat idea & it came out very well. Thanks to my loving mother & JCPenney's catalog my brother & I had a ton of Joe's vehicles & what have you. What we lacked? That's right a transport plane. Thanks for sparking the memories.
I never thought about it before, but yes, Hasbro should have made one. They were in the comics but also were often in military movies of the 80’s! Seems like it would have been a great choice for a larger vehicle in the line. You did great converting yours!
I'm hopeful that the shark is a toy that'll keep being made for years and years. I think it's been around for at least 10 years in one form or another. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Ive had one of these cheap-o c-130s for a few years and have been using it with joes, i always really wanted more out of it and this video showed me just how to do it!
That's awesome. I also picked up one of these at my local Target 2 years ago. You have same eye like me. I picked this up to custom make it for Gi Joe vehicle. Good job!!
I loved this and it made my mind run away with what else could be done. I think little electric motors for the props and a sound box for noise would be the cherry on top....
Super awesome work man. I do a lot of dioramas and things and this is fine work indeed. The ability to place mid sized vehicles in it makes it so much better than just a stick toy
I picked one of these up a few weeks ago at a thrift store. I need to find one more propeller. I love to watch your projects, I just got back into action figures, and have picked up some other things from thrift store and definitely want to kitbash stuff into some cool things.
Looked very good. I had the SkyStriker. Was my favorite Gi Joe Toy. Unfortunately I lost all my old stuff GI Joe, early Star Wars, G1 Transformers in a garage fire. I even had the really old big poseable GI Joe with cloth clothes.
Great job. Another cool custom idea would be to buy 2 C-130 and scrap the 2nd plane for longer fuselage and wider wingspan. Now you should try to make the Cobra Heli-Carrier seen in the cartoon intro. LOL!!
I really like your video. I grew up in the 80's so I played with the action figures and watched the cartoon. I enlisted in the Marine Corp when I came of age and my biggest disappointment was we didn't have cool nicknames like GI Joe did. I was stuck with my last name.
I have this plane, too. I want to customize like you someday. Good explanation Good review Good custom! Thanks. It's amazing how you cut it for a tank!
That's impressive. I bought one of those when Toys R Us went out of business, and just had it in the box for a month. As I assembled it, all I did was strip off any decals I didn't like, and settled for the limited space in the cargo bay. I would never have dreamt of cutting it up, widening it, and making it more capacious for bigger vehicles. I have, however the TRU Heroes, the helicopters, I did up their analog of the Dragonfly, merely repainted, their sort of Chinook, I painted blue with a giant 456 on the front, for Zartan (I'm more of a comics fan than of the cartoon) and the TRU Heroes closest equivalent to the HIND-D, I stripped decals, and repainted it and handmade decals for the Oktober Guard. Mine are intended for the 4" figures, (25th Anniversary and onward), as my forte is action figure customization (and accessories). I once found a Tonka 6-wheeled dune buggy thingy, I plated it differently and made it the Oktober Guard's little 6-wheeled vehicle. Would love for that to fit into the cargo bay of the HIND-D analogue.
@@ActionRobotPunch the almost Hind comes with a little rinky-dink vehicle that barely fits one figure, I have set it aside because it annoys me. My 6-wheeled vehicle wouldn't fit if I did saw up the helicopter. I'm still working on other Oktober Guard figures, trying to make summer uniformed Daina and Horror-Show, for comics issues that take place in Sierra Gordo, I have already made winter versions. Other characters in my personal collection are Captain Bulgakov, Dragonsky, and Sgt. Misha. Apart from the standards, Schrage, Col. Brekhov, (my Col. Brekhov has a lit cigarette in his mouth, permanently, lol) and the store-bought Red Star. I think I'm forgetting someone.
Badass idea, especially with the putty to fill in the gaps as I bought a cheap military helicopter from my thrift store to use for my G.i. Joes and it has a gap and the way how you made those seats are great as I plan to make some as the helicopter I got has no seat for my troopers to sit in.
Too cool for words man! I'm loving all these videos and the style of presentation. I have the same plane from Target, and what you also did for the cockpit is TOP NOTCH!!!
Got one of these in the attic. Bought it intending to use the main body as the base of a star wars custom, but never did. Once saw one that so.eone had thrown out sitting in a hard plastic recycling center, too.
I had a Wolverine body and lynx turret. I painted them green but repainted it tan to look like a “mini Mauler”. So really just a tan painted lynx but I like how it’s kind of unique. Glad you like it.
Very well done I love it! Been looking for a massive cargo plane/ship. Maybe if I saw this first I would have gone this route. I just ordered the mandalorian razor crest in 1:18 for the joes 😅
It was probably never made due to size and functionality not to mention it would probably cost more than the Joe or Cobra base. The final product is amazing and great work. So creative
@@ActionRobotPunch there was so many missed opportunities for great toys back in the 80’s especially due to gender stereotypes. Lady Jane and Scarlet were my role models and I think they should have had G.I. Joe Barbie dolls. Real female role models and not credit card plastic surgery bimbos representing unrealistic expectations. Also with the advancement in toy technology someone should come out with a affordable RC line of G.I. Joe cars, tanks and planes & drones. ❤️
Super retrofit, I got a tiger shark hanging from office ceiling at air base. Gosh, you must had spend hours but overall came out looking like real GI Joe C-130. Does the wife ask "Are you done with plane"
Thank you. Ha! She did ask me what I was doing when I started cutting up the new toy she'd just gotten me. But when I showed her the final result she thought it was pretty cool.
Yeahhh ! well done, I already have this C130 toys, and agree it's a perfect planes for 3 3/4 Gi joe ( action force vintage also ), good job you've done with more plastic to be bigger for Gi joe vehicles..... seems an original made by hasbro, in this range have a look cause other planes are O.K for custom : helicopter CH53, skycrane sikorsky ( more rare, search in dino chap mei range ) and Chinook ....many thanks for sharing, take care Bud : )
That was an awesome custom G.I.Joe C-130 Hercules you made! I'd love to do a project like that but unfortunately I wouldn't have any room to put it because I already have my dresser full of G.I.Joe figures and vehicles on the top and some are displayed in different parts of my room.
That’s an awesome project! You can get a version of this plane on Amazon for 40 bucks free shipping… looks like the same mold. I might get one and attempt to turn it into the Razor Crest for 6 inch Mandalorian figures!
Cool idea. Just be careful the one on Amazon isn’t the cheapo smaller version of this one. They’re the same c-130 type plane. The small ones don’t have a removable roof.
@@ActionRobotPunch update: yeah You are right… the ones I was looking at were smaller… I found a few on eBay in pieces… all I need is the main body, but not the wings … update: update: picked up the main body for 20 bucks! That’s all I need… I’ll keep you posted!
Another great custom job. I absolutely love this plane. I wish that the plastic quality was on par with Hasbro plastic. I would recommend this plane to any Joe fan. It makes a great addition to any 3-3/4” collection.
HAHA great work. something that i remember was the killin prices for the joes vehicles, so i had to make things like this to give my joes proper equipment
I was a c-130 gunner on regular transfer from the peace core to the air core of enjineers Air Force conscripts. It floors me to this day how many variants of the plane there are
@@thetvbaby83 in the description I have a link to the sticker paper I used to print out the ones for the c-130. I just found Gi Joe symbols and flags online and printed them onto the sticker paper. Then just cut them out and all set. Or buy some after market repro stickers from another plane maybe. I'll put a link for that as well in the description. Woodland camo would look great!
I don't know your wife but bless her for being a good one.
She’s awesome 😁
Hahaha, true
@@ActionRobotPunch Bless her heart dude, she sounds brilliant.
Not a Joe fan, but my inner kid appreciates the effort, skill and imagination you put into this project.
Thanks!
Same
The video was dope. The extra icing on the cake that brought everything together was the final 1 minute of the video with the voice overs with the "pew pew pew" and dialogue.
Good times!!!!!! :)
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
Among toy collectors, you Joe fans have the most love. The rest of us just pose 'em and leave 'em on the shelf.
Thanks so much.
Awesome custom C-130 plane toy dude, every die hard Gi Joe fans would love to do the same for their own vintage Gi Joe collection. YO JOE!
Thanks so much 👍
Love the conversion work. Especially enjoyed the end credit music. It really takes me back to the original show.
Thanks so much.
Looks great! And remember knowing is half the battle.
Haha. Thanks, and now you know! :)
Caught your video by happenstance. Neat idea & it came out very well. Thanks to my loving mother & JCPenney's catalog my brother & I had a ton of Joe's vehicles & what have you. What we lacked? That's right a transport plane. Thanks for sparking the memories.
Thank you. Those catalogs from back in the say were amazing. Way better than shopping on Amazon, right? :)
I like how you added the mauler turret to the wolverine! Nicely done project!
Thanks so much
I never thought about it before, but yes, Hasbro should have made one. They were in the comics but also were often in military movies of the 80’s! Seems like it would have been a great choice for a larger vehicle in the line. You did great converting yours!
Thanks so much. And you’re right, the c-130 is in so many movies.
Air America anyone?
Actually that was a C-123 Provider in the Gibson/RDJ flick
Man that is really cool, once you painted it, I couldn’t even tell that wasn’t out of box, good job 👍😊
Thank you so much 😀
That is just amazing. Having seen your other videos I am just in awe of your customizing skills alongside your faithfulness to Joe.
Thank you! That’s really appreciated.
Absolutely amazing, would happily snap one up if there were any for sale. Now for the Cobra transport helicopter!!!
I'm hopeful that the shark is a toy that'll keep being made for years and years. I think it's been around for at least 10 years in one form or another. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing I’ll try to upgrade mine 👍🏻
Now we need an AC-130 Specter gunship
Yup! Take the gun off a ram sidecar and stick it out the side
That is some A-1 work my guy, excellent rebuild!!
Thanks so much!
GI Joe was my favorite as a kid.. great job
Thank you.
awesome.I always thought they didnt have a plane like this, but you done made it good job!
Thank you! Cheers!
I saw G.I.Joes in my feed and got all excited!
Great to hear. Yo Joe!
Ive had one of these cheap-o c-130s for a few years and have been using it with joes, i always really wanted more out of it and this video showed me just how to do it!
Glad to here it. Hope you build goes well 👍
@@ActionRobotPunch thanks man! I actually just got home with it from the storage building, I appreciate the vids!
That’s pretty damn awesome. I always love the custom builds/vehicles.
Thanks so much! Glad you dug it.
That's awesome. I also picked up one of these at my local Target 2 years ago. You have same eye like me. I picked this up to custom make it for Gi Joe vehicle. Good job!!
Very cool! It's a great vehicle and just begging to be customized.
I loved this and it made my mind run away with what else could be done. I think little electric motors for the props and a sound box for noise would be the cherry on top....
That’d be fun. You should try that. Thanks for watching!
You did a geat job! very nice! Great color!
Thank you. I also like the army green over the stock grey. It just feels more Gi Joe to me.
I bought a C130 too, and painted it like you did to yours, but I didn't change the size of mine. Kudos though. Your end result is pretty cool
Awesome and thank you.
Super awesome work man. I do a lot of dioramas and things and this is fine work indeed. The ability to place mid sized vehicles in it makes it so much better than just a stick toy
It does feel much more capable now. Than you.
This is a work of art and genius! I salute you! Yo Joe!
Thanks so much.
I picked one of these up a few weeks ago at a thrift store. I need to find one more propeller. I love to watch your projects, I just got back into action figures, and have picked up some other things from thrift store and definitely want to kitbash stuff into some cool things.
Actually need to find a windshield as well.
Awesome. It’s a lot of fun. Glad you like the videos.
I'm 43 years old, that green bike was the first toy I remember playing with.
Yeah that motorcycle was such a great toy. Thanks for watching.
Great job.. and you're never too old to have fun playing.. :)
Agreed, never too old :)
Just awesome man. I’d love to see more of your conversations.
Thank you.
Looked very good. I had the SkyStriker. Was my favorite Gi Joe Toy. Unfortunately I lost all my old stuff GI Joe, early Star Wars, G1 Transformers in a garage fire. I even had the really old big poseable GI Joe with cloth clothes.
Sorry to hear that. I hope this video brought back some good memories! Thanks for sharing.
@@ActionRobotPunch it did. Thanks for sharing too.
Awesome build! And the Gi Joe Episode!💥😯👏🏿👏🏿😁👍🏿💯 Yo Joe!
Thanks, so glad you enjoyed it!
Great job. Another cool custom idea would be to buy 2 C-130 and scrap the 2nd plane for longer fuselage and wider wingspan. Now you should try to make the Cobra Heli-Carrier seen in the cartoon intro. LOL!!

Awesome job on that sick plane!!
Thank you! Cheers!
AWESOME!! Takes me back to the 80s.
That's great to hear. thanks so much.

Amazing! This is why fans are more creative than the Has-Bros... Awesome C-130 Mod!
Glad you liked it!
Awsome man! You're amazing! Love it!
thanks so much
I'm amazed and I wish I were one 10th as talented as you!
Thank you.
That is awesome u did one hell of a job on that
Thank you so much 👍
As soon as I heard the sound effects I subscribed.
Haha! Thank you. We were all sound effects makers as kids, right?
@@ActionRobotPunch it brought me back in that instant man. So good
Thank you for showing on how to do this cool . Now go and find one .
Glad you found it informative 👍
I have this plane, too.
I want to customize like you someday.
Good explanation Good review Good custom! Thanks.
It's amazing how you cut it for a tank!
Thanks and you should do it. The Joes need some armored support.
Glad I stumbled into this. BEAUTIFUL work.
I'm glad you ended up here as well. Thank you so much for checking out the video.
Looks great brother. Nice work !!!
Thank you. Glad you like how it came out.
Great job. I think I might have opted to leave the handle at the top off as well though.
Thanks glad you liked it.
Cockpit interior was Fantastic! Amazing Work! Top Shelf!
Thank you. I can't believe they didn't put just a little detail into that cockpit. I'm glad you liked the improvements.

Ha, thanks.
Outstanding!!! Been wanting to get one of these but was on the fence about customizing it but your awesome vid changed my mind!!! Yo Joe!!!!
Fantastic! Your Joes will appreciate the airlift capabilities you're giving them :)
Buddy you are absolutely amazing, I’m telling you right now this channel is gonna get big.
Thanks so much!

Nice Video! Wish I had toys like these back in the days so detailed damm...

Needs about 40 "🔻NO STEP🔻" stickers.
Haha! So true.
I'll buy one from you. I love gi jow and c130s wish I had that talent. Great mod.
Thanks so much and glad you like the final outcome.
Nice work, that looks awesome!
