I decided to go with the Animated Trautman's look.
I'm a HUGE fan of the Rambo cartoon for its silliness and its similarities to GI Joe.

recipe is as follows.

Head: ROC Hawk ( I layered some paint on the nose to make it a little bigger and painted the eyebrows differently than Hawk's usual grimace. To add to a more accurate likeness of Crenna, I gave that squint in the eyes)
Body: Dusty
hands: Stars Wars Yavin Honor Guard.

Here are some pics to compare between my custom and the original Coleco figure.

Great job, looks spot on. You know, for a while there I was starting to think that maybe I imagined the whole Rambo cartoon, good to see someone else has seen it.

I loved the cartoon. Its a shame the show hasnt gotten a proper dvd treatment.
there were 6 dvds released a while back but all the episodes were out of order..

I didnt think the original figures sucked.
I have all the first series guys. and most of the vehicles.
including a MIB Savage headquarters. I like that they're really big.
like the old Thundercats toys, or the Over the Top figures.
