I have a lot of extra Destro heads, and I was trying desperately to find a use for them...awhile back I made Alexander McCullen...
Using Pilot Resolute Destro's head, a Shock Trooper body, and TRU Destro's sword and sheath. Then I turned my attention to Red Jackel and Fuera de la Lay, when I did this I didn't want to just make 'copies' of Destro so since it was established in comics and cartoon that other members of the clan wore masks why couldn't these characters be relatives of Destro? And Why couldn't I provide some new looks, and got this... So...what to do with a few more Destro heads...my thoughts turned to giving Destro more environment theme'd uniforms but after Arctic Destro I abandoned that idea so of course expand the Clan McCullen! Expanding globally the Clan McCullen began sending family members all over the globe to instigate weapons sales and build munitions factories…all of whom report to the home office in Scotland. Deminio del Desierto Based mainly in the Tabernes desert in Spain and some of the middle east, Demino del Desierto specializes in weapons used for desert warfare, he really has no qualms selling weapons to anybody who can afford the price, but what Deminio del Desierto does best is horde and sell water to the highest bidders in the desert. Shinoda Taking the surname of fabled Japanese crime lord Kenichi Shinoda, this relative of Destro follows a strict code of honor when dealing with his family only, while other Clan members may plot against Destro for control of the empire Shinoda stands a firm supporter of James McCullen. Desperado Desperado builds shoddy weapons in Mexico and destabilizes much of the south west of the United States, his tarnished mask is because of lack of care, plus he likes to fancy himself something of an old west gunslinger so in his opinion this makes him look fiercer than a polished gleaming mask. He generally makes up the shoddy quality of his weapons by manufacturing massive amounts of them. Odds are you won’t find him developing anything new, but if he can rip it off make it poorly sell it to someone who’ll need to buy more because it only breaks in shortly time, than Desperado is your man. Kalde hjert Known as the cold heart Kalde hjert seemingly has ice in his veins as he sells weapons all around the Norwegian area, he is known for his impassionate decisions and ruthless business sense, rumor has it this region was not assigned to him but his brother, until Kalde hjerte took it from him…no one has seen his brother since.

despite the simplicity, none of them really come across as just simple part swaps. well done. Deminio del Desierto and Alexander McCullen are the two tops.

I bought 7 of the Destro that came with the money case one to open 6 to use for other customs, and three of the TRU IG three pack.

Nice, very cool. I love the back stories too. Are you going to make a Red Jackal (Action Force) custom too?

I like Desperado the most. Since he thinks of himself as a gunslinger have you tried one of Wild Bills hats on him?

I like Alexander the most, but I'm not feeling the purple belt/ scabbard. Black or gold would be much better.

I actually was gonna go with that, but I don't have a spare of those, so the mental justification for me was this....Alexander is a bit of a black sheep to his father and family and while he wants to be part of the family he knows he's basically an outsider, so the purple sword set gives him some family tie but shows his distain for the family...it also denotes he is the bastard son. |
