Well, here are the last members of the Direct Action Element's light mortar section. Nobody you guys have probably heard of, ha ha:
Top row: Chilly Pop, Mojave
Second row: High Angle, Suppressor X
Design notes:
Chilly Pop is my take on the 1988 Bronze Bombers character. Yeah, I know he was a villain in Bronze Bombers canon, but so was Cool Breeze, and he was turned into a Joe when he showed up in GI Joe #111 and #112. So I took my cue from that.
Mojave is my take on the 2002 Dusty that came with the Night Rhino vehicle (file name: Jeffrey Paquette). Odd that they would change the person using the codename, but make him an almost exact replica of Ronald Tadur (the original Dusty) in terms of background: he's also a refrigeration and air-conditioning repairman. I'm guessing Paquette was the name of a Hasbro employee at the time.
High Angle is my take on Long-Range v1 (file name: Karl Fritz), the guy that came with the Thunderclap vehicle. Normally, I'd let the original figure use the codename and have subsequent characters using the same codename adopt a different codename (like I did for the two different Dusty characters), but in this case, I think the second version of Long-Range (the Hispanic-American one) is the character most people are familiar with (since he came out in two different toylines, first in the Valor vs. Venom line, and again in the Sigma Six line), so I opted to use the Long-Range codename for that character instead (besides, "High Angle" seems more appropriate for a guy who deals with plotting trajectories).
Suppressor X is another Bronze Bombers character, adopted and adapted to fill one of the holes in the Joe roster.
Thanks for looking!
