New stuff (click on the pictures to read the filecards):
Quick-Kick and Deep-Six
Notes: Finally have a Quick-Kick I'm mostly satisfied with. Replaced his shuriken sash with a shoulder holster. Originally I was going to replace the Japanese motif on his
hachimaki
(samurai headband) with the unit trim of the US Army Element Special Operations Command Korea (Quick-Kick's half-Korean, and I figure it would make sense for him to have been assigned at some point to SOCKOR, if only as a liaison or linguist), but changed it last-minute to the flag motif of the now-defunct Ryukyu Kingdom (what is now known as Okinawa prefecture in Japan). I figure by using the image from a no-longer-existing nation that had strong ties with both Japan and Korea (as well as China, Taiwan, and most of Southeast Asia), he doesn't display any real bias between his twin Japanese and Korean heritage (Japan and Korea's shared history is still a touchy matter for many) and it also reflects his proficiency in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese martial arts.
As for Deep-Six, I wanted to keep the bulky look of the original toy, but I couldn't find any reason why the Joe team would need a Navy Fleet Diver assigned to it full-time. In the end, I re-conceptualized him as a Navy EOD Technician/EOD Diver, witht he bulky saturation diving suit replaced by an equally bulky but much more appropriate-in-a-direct-action-context bomb disposal suit.
