Sup Guys?
Knowing how you guys "lurk," on HISS Tank, I thought I'd offered you some feedback on much maligned Falcon portrait.
Usually, the age of the JOEs isn't an issue because the G.I. JOE team is a quasi special operations unit and we can assume that most of the team are in their mid 20's - mid 30's. For storytelling purposes we can skew the JOEs being older because of prior combat experience that was gained elsewhere.
Notwithstanding any quality control issues concerning the Falcon face sculpt. An issue that needs to be addressed is Lt. Falcon's countenance is that of a older battle harded solider who's seen some things.
Presenting Falcon as an older character is wrong because his rank is synonymous with his character, (e.g. General Hawk, Admiral Keel-Haul, Colonel Courage, Major Bludd, Captain Grid-Iron, Lieutenant Stone, and Sergeants Stalker, Slaughter, and Savage, and to a lesser extent Duke (who is a command sergeant,) and Flint and Wild Bill who are chief warrant officers,)
In regards to the characters cited there's a direct correlation between the character's age and their rank. In Falcon's case since he's a 1st Lieutenant he would be between 25 - 28 years old. Dusty appears to be about 25 years old and Falcon should appear to be about the same age as Dusty.
Since Emily said on a roundtable that you guys are opened to having celebrities in the
Classified Series
this would be a perfect opportunity to get the rights to use Don Johnson's likeness for Falcon in a future release of Falcon. Again, reiterating the point that I made before, if you guys pursue this option you would need model Falcon's portrait after Don Johnson when he was in his 20's as opposed to when he was playing Sonny Crockett on
Miami Vice
because Falcon would still be too old. This photoshopped picture of Falcon, (courtesy of the
HISS Tank's own DarthBrett
,) shows how an age appropriate Falcon would look with the corrections made to sculpt.
