I'm hoping to get a few of these to help inspire me to get back into writing my novels. Those girls look a lot like my character Jen Surlon.

Even with Planet Green Valley's creative story which is very cool... to me they will be there own thing, own story, own universe (although I do love a good crossover!)... My MTF Universe is more of a Joe spin-off or homage to Joes, Joe KOs, & more of a nostalgic era made modern, but these speak to me in a different way, like looking to the future, or a dystopian Asian country where something happened and yet somehow these school girls survived the chaos and are now fighting for their survival against the remaining adversaries of earth, warring schools (Battle Royale style lol), Zombies, Robot Armies, who knows what lol... I am sure my mind will run wild once I have them in hand... Maybe something like this MV from the idol group Osaka Syunkashuto... |

I've probably mentioned this before, but one thing I really like about these figures is that the head sculpts are not overtly "Asian." Likewise, the uniforms are not overtly futuristic either. Judging from the custom figure on the previous page, I think these are going to fit in nicely with existing Joe, MTF and BFS figures.

Ordered Lin and a Security Forces in combat uniform from BBTS. If the quality is good in-hand I may get the rest upon release.

Essentially, the three girls I picked up, Amy, Virginie and Mind-Controller, are former soldiers from a recently collapsed Dictatorial State military they were forcibly enrolled in. At the collapse of their government, they fled their mid-revolt military in a prototype armored transport, saving themselves as multiple military forces turned what was once their homes into a war zone. Eventually they settle into starting a wasteland delivery service of sorts, traveling all over dangerous, conflict filled environments, fighting off pirates, bandits and aggressive armies of neighboring countries. Amy acts as the brains of the group, working with all the tech, running communications and generally being smarter then everyone in the room. Virginie is the tough one, strong as an ox despite her appearance and the main driver of their transport. While the Mind Controller, highest ranked and most experienced of the three, acts as the tank commander and boss of the crew. Their ride of choice is a Star Wars Vintage Series Imperial "Assault Tank", which I will modify once I have the girls in hand to allow them to all sit snug inside the cab. Out of the box both the driver and commander have to hang out of the hatches to ride around in it, and while that's nice sometimes, I prefer it when my figures can fit properly in their vehicles. My Joe-verse used to be a simple Joe v Cobra set up, but because of the PGV figures their entire world has changed. The Joes are now a internationally backed standing army made up of hand picked special forces teams trying to maintain peace in a war torn region. Cobra remains a for-profit terrorist organization causing havoc for pretty much everyone involved. The large pile of PTE soldiers I've amassed over the years now act as troops from neighboring countries causing conflict across the region. My MTF figures, utilizing mostly Star Wars vehicles, have found a unified purpose (no longer being mixed with Joes and Cobra) and act as a highly developed, highly aggressive imperialistic nation trying to expand it's control. Of course where you have an "Evil Empire" you need a rebellious splinter faction, which uses some specific Star Wars figures mixed in with other random soldiers from various lines. I'm even mixing in figures from the Lost Planet and even some Fortnite lines (though most of the latter figures need new heads) to use as pirates and wasteland bandits. With all these new factions, Destro and his M.A.R.S. industries now have far more clients they can deal with. All while my PGV girls run deliveries for pretty much anyone that will pay em. These figures pretty much revitalized my love of the 1:18 scale and reshaped my entire Joe-verse narrative to feature a far more intricate balance of factions and military forces. I can't wait to get these girls in hand so I can finally start work on their tank and hopefully get some good pics of em in action. |
