Happy Holidays Tankers!
Last week I introduced you to my Arctic theme arctic team: Snow Job, Barge (http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...-duke-fix.html) & Shrinkage (http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...shrinkage.html). Tanker Skallinn, From Iceland, joked that I should make a Joe from Iceland. I asked for a pic of him and a file card and I went to work using leftover winter parts. The result is Ullur, god of snow shoes (read on...) Parts used were Arctic SE body, Ice Viper webgear, Jungle Duke backpack & a heavily modified Arctic Duke head. Turns out the Ice Viper webgear could be used as an Arctic Duke fix too... Codename: Ullur. Ullur was the god of winter, death, skiing, the chase, overall combat, archery, hunting and trapping, and snowshoes (of all things). He represents the northern winter and spends them hunting with Skadi the troll wife of Njord, and the summers in Helheim with Hel. It is said that he must spend time with Hel so that Odin can run the weather while he is gone (summer). Ullur's name actually means glorious and was used in the naming of many places. Becuase of this, it was thought that he may have been a major god in earlier times. Birthplace:Borgarnes, Iceland. About him: He is usually a bit of a joker (Shrinkage is usually the butt of his jokes), a guy that doesn't get angry a lot, but when he gets angry, people take notice and boy does he get angry then... His weapon of choice is a sniper rifle, 'cause he'll go ahead of his team, climb an icy cliff and take out any threat that may lurk in the team's path. He really likes insane shots and always pulls 'em off. He thinks it's sad that the only thing the other Joes know about Iceland is Bjork & Lars Von Trier films... That was fun, thanks for looking!

Hahahaha that's awesome, I now am the 2nd Icelander ever to receive a action figure in the likeness of himself, the other one was GÃ*sli Örn Garðarsson when he played the Hassansin Leader in the movie: Prince of Persia

Me again, here's a comparison shot, with Skallinn's permission. It's the best I could do with an Arctic Duke head.
The other one is a "caption this pic".. Skallinn, PM me your address, I really think you should have it.

I've been thinking about designing a Nordic strike team of Joes and name them after some of the lesser known gods of the Norse Mythology.
Characters like Ullur, Vidar(VÃ*ðar), Hodur(Höður), Vali(Váli), Forseti, the brothers Modi(Móði) and Magni and the females Eir and Vör. I might just do that and post the images here ;)

In your explanation of Ullur, you mentionned "Skadi the troll wife of Njord". I admit that one's got me curious, haha, custom in sight?
But seriously go for it, man. That nordic team would kick ass... Tankers, I thank you for the kind words. One more thing, anybody got a pair of snowshoes to trade me? I only have 1 pair but I wanna send it to Iceland with Ullur. Can anybody find snowshoes for Shrinkage? PM me please.
