I’m finally going to buckle down and finish my custom OG13 line up, but I need some help. I’ve decided to replace Flash, Grand Slam, and Steeler. My idea is to showcase the Joe team in their original role as a small Anti-Terrorist unit, and a tank driver is not needed. I figure the team expanded their operation capacity and added the heavy equipment later. Flash and Grand Slam are on hold because I really wanted to use Sci-Fi as the base for those customs to maintain visual consistency, and those figures are prohibitively expensive...
The line up right now is Hawk, Stalker, Snake Eyes, Scarlett, Duke, Grunt, Zap, Short Fuze, Rock N Roll, Breaker, Clutch, and Shooter. I need to add one more character to complete the assortment. I’m thinking Doc, because he’s an early figure and the team could use a medic, but I’m undecided... Your Thoughts?

I'd probably go with Lift-Ticket and the Tomahawk, to give the team a nice insertion/extraction vehicle.
If you're opposed to bringing in anymore vehicles, then maybe Torpedo? He's an early figure, and would give the team an underwater and demolitions specialist. |

Maybe Sightline for forward observation/reconnaissance?

My vote goes to Torpedo, the team could use a SEAL with underwater demolition skills. Stalker is a combat medic so you have that job covered.

Man... I really wanted to keep the OGs Army-only.... but I’m liking this Torpedo idea more and more. It also solves my problem with using Doc for the 13th slot, because I kind of wanted a more combat oriented character. I had considered Sparks, but he also seemed like more of an HQ guy than team proper. Torpedo it is! He’s supposed to be Hawaiian, if I recall, any head suggestions?
And as someone who created an original character just to retcon Sargent Slaughter out of my Joevers.... no. Lol.

I've seen a few customs that used the 25th Airborne or Retaliation Ultimate Flint head sculpts.
