#25. CODE NAME: WISTERIA (based on the IDW GI Joe comics character "Pale Peony". )
Gunrunners Origin: Russia When MTF drops new colors ...it's time to be inspired. In the IDW GI Joe comics Larry Hama created "Pale Peony" who sometimes is in purple, sometimes in pink, but is always fierce. The character reminds me of those oldskool 80's martial arts movies where you had a blonde girl (like Cynthia Rothrock) kicking many a foe's butt. Looking through the comic images it was easy to see this character had to be made with MTF. I even got her stickers for her arms to mimic that comic book look! Born in Russia to parents (Russian/Japanese) that were heavily involved in the international crime syndicate, WISTERIA was trained from a young age to be both defensive & deadly. She is fluent in several languages, and a master of edged weapons. Proud of her diverse heritage, she was heartbroken after the sudden loss of her parents, now she plans to seek answers & vengeance, as a ninja for hire, affiliated with the Gunrunners! 2021 Photo Update: Last edited by Steel Brigade; 08-10-2021 at 06:30 PM.. |

#23. CODE NAME: WENDIGO (based on the Remco American Defense "Yeti" figure.)
Gunrunners Origin: USA For my first arctic soldier I decided to homage the Remco American Defesne figure "Yeti!" He kind of has a Snow Serpent meets Sub Zero look from ARAH, and you gotta love the KO style Joes! It was said the infamous gunrunner WENDIGO was once a disgruntled K-Mart employee who got fired and moved up north to find more work. Unable to keep anything for long due to his bad attitude & nasty disposition, he noticed the higher north he got, the more seedy the jobs became, thus the more he liked it, & the less the law came looking for him. Eventually he got involved in illegal hunting/gun trade & by the time he reached New Zealand, had dealings with the Gunrunners with a legendary reputation for his arms in the north. It's dead on

NEW RECRUITS!!
#26. CODE NAME: SPADE (based on the GI Joe Pulse created character "Black Jack" ) Gunrunners Origin: Ukraine One of my goals with MTF is to recreate the GI Joe Pulse characters that were not made into figures. So I am starting with "Black Jack." I looked at the Hasbro art design and some customs that have been made previously and tried to come up with my best representation within MTF. I added the extra touch of the skull/spade stickers from Marauders to his arm patch and briefcase. I have to say I love how he turned out! SPADE is the bodyguard to CHARLATAN. Hired by her father at a young age to protect her, he is loyal only to her (as her rich father pays the mercenaries hefty fee.) He does not question her true allegiance as it makes no difference to him, just as long as the money keeps flowing, (although that is questionable, as he has grown fond of CHARLATAN since she began her military/secret agent career.) He also acts as her trainer and backup to cover her tracks. A skilled marksmen and sniper, he makes sure that she is never revealed while being deep undercover! |
