Operation: Recall paintmasters 3DJoes 2024-09-18 | HAND-SCULPTED, HAND-PAINTED FIGURES!We are creating all-new action figures using the tried and true methods of the 1980s and 1990s! Once Ron Rudat and Mark Pennington completed their design work, Bill Merklein and Mike Good began the task of bringing these characters to life in action figure form! Using Ron and Mark's figure sculpture sheets, Bill and Mike hand sculpted the figures shown in this video. While Bill and Mike sculpted the figures, Mark Gerwig of Mark 2 Toys got to work 3D modeling the accessories. Once accessory modeling was complete, 3D resin prints were made. Once Bill and Mike's figure sculpts were complete, they were cast in resin by Scott Andrews of Lightbeam 3D and painted by Matthew LeCroy of LeCroy's Toys, Ray Murphy (@raymurphygijaf), and Chris Scott of Grindhouse Toys. The gallery below will be updated as new paintmasters roll in, and the BackerKit will not be closed until all paintmasters are complete: operationrecall.com/roll-call.html🔥 Music by ATL’s finest, Big Boi, and Phantogram 🔥

Australian Tiger Force commercial (1080p) 3DJoes 2023-05-21 | G.I.JOE was a world-wide phenomenon in the 1980s and 1990s. Hasbro sent many of their figure and vehicle molds to other countries once they were done using them domestically. Toys were often cast in different color plastic, given different names, and shown with new and unique package artwork. A plethora of peripheral products emerged too.

If you backed the Operation: Recall Kickstarter and can’t find your BackerKit survey, head here. operationrecall.backerkit.comIf you missed the Operation: Recall Kickstarter, enlist in the Operation: Recall Army today! operationrecall.backerkit.com/survey_storesAs previously announced, the creative team have begun ideation on the Operation: Recall Year One figures. I wanted to quickly share a bunch of Runback and Supply Chain ideation sketches that Mark just shared with me. I love getting to see the process, and I thought you might too. Ideation is the stage where, in Mark’s words, you “just try anything and you always find elements you like.” There are many elements from each of these drawings I love. Each exploration bears fruit. The next step after ideation is to review with Kirk Bozigian to decide which elements to keep, and then Mark will move into tighter drawings of the revised design. We have many months of great times ahead, watching each of these characters evolve. If you love seeing this kind of preproduction documentation, consider adding the Operation: Recall book to your pledge when we open the upcoming BackerKit. This book will show the creative process for every figure we unlock. It’s GO time! - Carson

If you backed the Operation: Recall Kickstarter and can’t find your BackerKit survey, head here. operationrecall.backerkit.comIf you missed the Operation: Recall Kickstarter, enlist in the Operation: Recall Army today! operationrecall.backerkit.com/survey_storesAs previously announced, the creative team have begun ideation on the Operation: Recall Year One figures. I wanted to quickly share a bunch of The Unknown ideation sketches that Mark just shared with me. I love getting to see the process, and I thought you might too. Ideation is the stage where, in Mark’s words, you “just try anything and you always find elements you like.” There are many elements from each of these drawings I love. Each exploration bears fruit. The next step after ideation is to review with Kirk Bozigian to decide which elements to keep, and then Mark will move into tighter drawings of the revised design. We have many months of great times ahead, watching each of these characters evolve. If you love seeing this kind of preproduction documentation, consider adding the Operation: Recall book to your pledge when we open the upcoming BackerKit. This book will show the creative process for every figure we unlock. It’s GO time! - Carson
