3D printed Rolling Thunder, A New Level of Awesomeness

Welcome fellow Joes’, this is where the extraordinary becomes the norm! Today, I’m excited to share something that’s not just cool, it’s next-level amazing. In the vast expanse of the internet, it’s increasingly rare to find something that genuinely blows your mind, especially for us who’ve grown alongside the digital era. But today, fellow collectors, I bring you a tale of a 3D printing marvel that has done just that. Created by the talented Reddit user Supersaiyanhonda, this piece isn’t just a toy; it’s a testament to the incredible potential of 3D printing in the world of collectible toys.

As a dedicated G.I. Joe classified collector and an enthusiastic 3D printer myself, I’ve seen and created my fair share of impressive prints. However, what Supersaiyanhonda has achieved with his rendition of the G.I. Joe Rolling Thunder is something that not only inspires awe but also pushes the boundaries of what we thought possible with 3D printing in our community.

Supersaiyanhonda’s Rolling Thunder: A Detailed Breakdown

Prepare to have your mind blown by the intricacies and sheer scale of this 3D printed masterpiece. The G.I. Joe Rolling Thunder, reimagined by Supersaiyanhonda, is a perfect showcase of how 3D printing can elevate a classic toy into something extraordinary. It’s an item that could easily make the all-new Cobra Hiss look like a beginner’s model.

As a 3D printing aficionado, I’m absolutely floored by the level of detail and craftsmanship evident in every inch of this model. From the meticulously sculpted tires, and the closed deck capable of holding more than 10 of the 6-inch figures, to the intricate components that make up its structure, this model is a shining example of 3D printing’s capabilities in enhancing collectible toys.

More Than Just Size: Features That Amaze

According to Supersaiyanhonda, the modeling took roughly 3.5 months and a printing time of 700 hundred hours. That’s a full month of printing 24/7! He has also lovingly named it the Koenig Hurricane. How heavy is this beast? 40 Lbs heavy.

But it’s not just the size that’s impressive. This new Rolling Thunder is a trove of features, mirroring and exceeding the original. The model unfurls to reveal rocket launcher bays, and an upgraded scout vehicle, now designed for two, is just one of the many marvels. Equipped with onboard missiles and turrets, it’s a collector’s dream of a mobile attack base.

Every aspect of the design has been thoughtfully considered, from the seating arrangements for the Joes to a fully functional cockpit with access stairs. It’s this attention to detail that sets Supersaiyanhonda’s work apart and highlights the limitless possibilities of 3D printing in transforming and elevating classic toys.

The Future of 3D Printing in Collectibles

As you’ve seen here before, 3D-printed toys are starting to kick off. Not only for 3D printing enthusiasts but also for your everyday collector. I mean who wouldn’t drop 1k on this masterpiece? I would love to see what else Supersaiyanhonda has in the works.

Inspiring a New Wave of 3D Printing Enthusiasts

While there are no current plans for Supersaiyanhonda to release this incredible piece, it stands as a beacon of inspiration for me and hopefully for the entire ToyBeast community. It’s a reminder of the untapped potential in 3D printing and a call to action for all of us to explore and innovate further in our beloved hobby.
