I was wondering who those were. I'm liking Bushido a lot more. It seems a little odd but he looks good. Ginsu doesn't look bad either. If you got a good enough explanation for why these guys would be wearing masks I'll buy it. You often see body guards with face covers in places like Mexico, Iraq. They put them on in public.

I like Dusty and Shockwave. Bushido reminds of back in the day when Mr Wrestling 2 did his interviews on Florida/Georgia Championship Wrestling.

Well, I figure he'd look odd regardless because of the combination of elements in the original .

Thanks. Glad you appreciate the effort I put into updating a minor character.

That's as good an explanation as any, I think.

Thanks. Heh. Mr. Wrestling II. Never heard of him before, but that's a cool vid. Dude has some good mic skills for a guy working (what I'm assuming is) a regional promotion.

I want a Ginsu figure, or even multiples of one.

Heh. I think you could probably mod one based on the design from an SDCC Destro if you were willing to spare one. Thanks for the comment guy.

Updated stuff:

Banzai, Dropzone

Design notes:

• Never liked Banzai. The original ARAH figure was pretty bad, even by 1990s GI Joe standards. I'm not exactly sure if I've done a fair job of faithfully translating the figure into a more modern and realistic context, but frankly, I don't care. I try to find redeeming qualities in every one of the classic ARAH GI Joe designs, but I just can't find any in Banzai. It's an ugly figure based on a shit design, and the sooner I can get him crossed off my to-do list the better.

• Updated my Dropzone image to be closer to the ARAH toy design. I originally balked at giving him the two-tone double-breasted leather jacket worn by the original because I thought it looked too goofy, but in the grand scheme of GI Joe fashion, it is actually quite restrained. I'm quite pleased with how the image turned out.

Thanks for looking!

Dropzone looks great.

Banzai, yeah crap figure, yours is cool looking but scares me...

ALOT..

[Loose Cannon]

I really like the Browns and the blacks on these two guys. Dropzone almost looks like a bad guy. Maybe a more serious counter to Flint?

Banzai looks good too, although his hair seems a bit orangy, but it could just be the way it contrasts with the Mask. Not something you should spend anytime on. At least he's not pink with a ponytail.

Drop Zone looks awesome. Banzai looks like a serial killer...in a good way
