Here is the first Joe custom I did back before Christmas. He is a straight up storm shadow body with trooper head, modified back scabbard and snake eyes sword. This is an original character I made bio / origin story below.
Code Name: Black Lotus Birth Place: Henan Province China Abandoned as an infant, Black Lotus was taken in and raised in a Shaolin monastery, taught from birth the ways of Buddhism and Shaolin Kung-Fu. He increased in skill at an almost super-natural pace, mastering advanced techniques in months rather than years. By his early 20’s he had become arrogant, picking fights with the other monks to prove his abilities. His aggression and needlessly violent nature were condemned by his peaceful Buddhist brothers. The final straw came when he challenged the authority of the school masters, beating one of his former teachers nearly to death. He was banished from the monastery, never to return. For years he made his living fighting in martial arts tournaments across Asia. One day he enrolled in a tournament held in Japan by Storm Shadow as a front to scout out new Cobra recruits. After soundly beating all of his opponents, killing two in the process, he was approached by Storm Shadow and asked to join his stable of Ninjas. However, he angered Storm Shadow with his arrogance and boastfulness, stating that ninjas were cowards, hiding and creeping in the dark. He challenged Storm Shadow to send his best ninjas against him, defeating them one after another. Furious, Storm Shadow himself fought the former monk for over an hour neither one able to best the other, ending the match in exhausted draw and leaving both with an uncomfortable respect for each other. Realizing that he could learn something from the ninja master, Black Lotus agreed to join the ninja clan. His skill and violent nature raised him quickly in the ranks to the captain of the Red Ninjas, commanding that unit when Storm Shadow is unavailable or indisposed. Although he is now fully versed in the ninja arts, he still prefers the straight on Shaolin style he perfected, using his bare hands as his main weapons. |

Really sweet Custom on Black Lotus. I really like the write up, seems to me you put a lot of great thought into it. Keep it up and send more as you build and write.

You know, most original characters that I've seen kinda stink. They're usually just crappy rehashes of the same old same old. Yours, though, is amazing. both the figure and the bio make me really wish one existed. Maybe shop it around to Hasbro?
