Design notes for the previously posted images:
Burner, TNT, and Sparrow are based on Argentinian GI Joe figures made by Plastirama. Burner was based on
Fuego
(Spanish for "fire"), a Ripcord re-deco. TNT was a Blowtorch repaint, that I've re-imagined as a Navy EOD specialist. Sparrow is my take on "Sparta," the Argentinian version of Cover Girl.
Kaboom and Justice are based on 1988 Bronze Bomber and 1997 Bronze Bomber figures, respectively. I've remade Kaboom as an Air Force MTI, as they're the only people in the armed forces who actually wear blue campaign hats. I was initially going to use Justice as my take on Plastirama's S.O.S. character, but since I've been doing some reshuffling of the putative roster, I've now made him the Joe team's paralegal affairs NCO.
Roughshot is my take on Dickie Saperstein (Stalker and Snake-Eyes' old LRRP teammate), updated for modern times. The Roughshot codename was taken from a Bronze Bombers character.
Law and Ice Cream Soldier are updates of older images I wasnt exactly happy with.
Nunchuk is a re-use of an old image I made. Ginsu is my take on another Ninja Force character, T'Gin-Zu (I'm re-imagining him as a food service NCO... it fits well with his codename).
Rocky is based on the
unreleased Rocky figure from 1987
(which ended up being replaced by The Fridge promotional figure). I'll be using Fridge and Rocky as activated reservists on the roster, in charge of garrison support (food service). I suppose in my "joe-verse," Robert Balboa and William Perry were born much later, and had shortened careers as professional athletes, preferring to spend their prime years as servicemen.
Thanks for looking!
