The Ultimate G.I. Joe Custom: The Scalper

by Paul

Over on Hisstank.com the ultimate in G.I. Joe customs was reveled. Behold, the Scalper!

The Scalper comes with an awesome set of accessories from a Wal-Mart cart full of G.I. Joe figures to a bag of McDonalds food and a laptop with eBay ready to go. Even better are the details that went into the figure. He’s balding dude with a ponytail and is wearing long socks with those retarded crocs that, if caught wearing them, you should be immediately be put to death. Oh god, this is the ultimate nerd scumbag and more dangerous to G.I. Joe than any Cobra foe.

Don’t expect to see this figure in stores, mainly because it’s a custom, but also because any scalper worth his salt would not let this figure into anyone’s hands at retail.

    The stained sweats are a nice touch too. Just one problem though, he’s too healthy looking.

    “This is the only warning I am giving out! This is a thread about a Custom not a debate about Scalpers. Just take it for what it is, Funny………….”

    Wow, the “we were just foolin” defense rears its ugly head. It ain’t funny if there isn’t a universal truth there to back it up. >;D

    The scalpers I’m used to seeing are much fatter, sweatier, and eat jack in the box.

    Scalpers. Hate’em.

    I can’t find jack at Wal-Mart or Target for the 25th Anniversary and I refused to pay above retail cost for OPENED figures on eBay.

    And some ewoks!
    And Boom!

    The ultimate figure ever!
