After that, there were 4 static figures, all unnamed. 1 was a paratrooper, and the other were included with the Big Bad Chopper as its support crew. Think little green army men scaled up and molded in black and you've got it.
So, as someone who appreciates the 80's even more than me- what do you think- keep the static figures generic like the Remco figures, or flush them out into more developed characters? I have decided to go with low POA on the helicopter figures as a nod to the static nature of the Remco ones.
I think those 5 will cover EVERY Bad Guy made by Remco. (But if there are more I wouldn't be too surprised.).
You know me I like to stay as close to the source material as possible, but you made some subtle changes to the "named" Bad Guys and I thought they worked really well. It's really all up to you. One thing I've realized about making customs is it should all be about what you enjoy. If going more in-depth is your path do it. It actually might be cool to give them names and bring them more to life.
