Jumping the gun on this one...
May I present... Code Name: G.I. Joe File name: Colton, Joseph B. Birthplace: Central Falls, RI Rank: Lieutenant, General Primary Military Specialty: G.I. Joe X-O (Executive Officer) Secondary Military Special: Combat Infantry, Strategic and Tactical Operations The man known as Joseph Colton graduated with the highest top honors from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1960. An excellent marksman, he is proficient with all modern firearms from M60 Machine guns to Light Armored Weapons. Recruited by Special Forces, and later distinguishing himself as a Green Beret, he participated in various top covert operations and extensive tours of duty around the world. John Colton soon became the most decorated and most feared battlefield soldier the world has ever known. Noticing Colton's monumental achievement in the field of battle as well as his supreme belief in liberty, freedom, and equality for all, He was soon appointed by then President John F. Kennedy to create and command the "ULTIMATE freedom fighting force" whose mission is to recruit and train the best and the toughest men and women the armed forces could muster. From there Code name G.I. Joe was born and continues to redefine the word "Hero" all over the world. "Duty, Honor, Country! Not just words... a way to live your life" Special thanks to TS member Grifter for supplying me with this awesome Bruce Willis head... Peace!!! |

I like this one a lot but I have a few nit picks I think would make it better...
I think the berret would look better if it sat a little lower. Is there room to hollow it out a bit? I'm digging the green in the cammo but I don't think it works for the boots. It looks like his face could use a touch-up on his nose and between his eyebrows. What do you think? |

I dig him. Agree with the small touch-ups above, but there's something about the design I really like here. Also, there won't be many who get this reference, but man that Bruce sculpt really resembles the old 12 inch Johnny West figure here

Nice figure.
He'll just have a hard time feeding those shotgun shells into his machine gun. |
