Yeah $40 ain't bad. It's that battle scene for $60 that's only on that link you gave us that looks real nice. I've always wanted a Diorama that looked like that. Never in a million years could I make one. Looks like its right out of Call of Duty.

Well guys, I've gotten some new pics from Marine_Deadpool. ODA Chuckles and Stryker (RoC Duke) are finished... and yes, they look AWESOME! Let me see if I can find some pics to show you. I don't want to steal his thunder by showing them to the whole forum in a separate thread.

Nice Oliver. Chuckles looks awesome.! I want me one of those. Who is Stryker again? I've seen a few Duke Heads with Facial Hair and they look pretty decent.

It's also given me a lot of room to maneuver about his qualifications: Stryker's pretty awesome. He's got all the badges and qualifications: Prior Service Marine Scout/Sniper - went to West Point - Airborne, Air Assault, Ranger, Sapper, Pathfinder, Jumpmaster, HALO, Scuba, Special Forces, served with Delta Force, etc. You get the idea. He's just an awesome Combat Officer, which I've always felt the Joes were a little short on. His name comes from John Wayne. Obviously, Hasbro was thinking of John Wayne when they invented the character named "Duke". One of my favorite John Wayne war movies was "The Sans of Iwo Jima". His character in that film was named "Sgt. Striker". I played with that a little - I thought it was fitting to have some relation to John Wayne - and named this RoC variation of Duke "Major Stryker". That's why I consider him as a Prior Service Marine - it's in honor of John Wayne's character in "The Sands of Iwo Jima". Marine_Deadpool thinks that with the Goatee (his idea), he looks like John Travolta instead of Channing Tatum... maybe his name should be "Fever" or "Mr. Saturday Night" ;)

Yeah, that Chuckles turned out really well. I had the idea for doing a "Black-Ops/Wet Works Chuckles" from a discussion we had on this forum ages ago. We talked about how great it would be if Hasbro sold a Chuckles 2-pack: Aloha Shirt/Black Ops... and that got me thinking. So I got some parts together, talked it over with Marine_Deadpool, and there you have it. I think it works really, really well. I wanted him to look like he could easily blend in/work with the ODA Team, but also that he stands a little apart - he's got his own objectives and his own people to answer to. I think the holster pays homage to his original figure nicely.

Yeah I really spent no time on his card. I just added a basic detail in the first part and the second part was just for kicks, but there are plenty of terrible cards, and many that could have been better.
I don't think those little cards could have all the detail that say Zulu has on his, but I think there must be a formula to follow. The real world details on the first part is the real meat of the card. But the last part where the "Cheese" goes is a lot harder to dream up. Obviously I was screwing around on Bench-Press, but I had nothing. It could have a little info on his habits, or maybe a mission he was on. Or something about growing up.

Stryker is a homerun. That body is one of my favorites for custom fodder. I think I would like Chuckles more without the camo side-panels on his shirt.
