Over zealous Joe Recruit.

I have always found the Corps! characters from Lanard fascinating. Such charmingly corny names... and THAN I got a look at the original card art!!
I had to include them in my Joeverse. I remember reading an issue of GI Joe where Duke was running the new Joe potentials through the ringer to see who will make it. Budo was one of the guys who got the job. But a BUNCH of other guys just couldnt make the cut. I imagine that the Corps! are made up of those other guys. They are specialists, but just werent cut out for the Joe team. The Corps! are a group of mercenaries who will assist the Joes on occasion. When the Joes have international missions, Bengala and Boomerang Billy are called in. In Japan, the job of local guides go to Hiro Yamato, and Dragon Han. Now Presenting. The Corps! part 1. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...shape1983.html http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...-part-3-a.html Bengala Boomerang Billy Dragon Han: I could not find the original card art for this one... can anyone help? Hiro Yamato

Awesome work, you really captured the look while improving them.
The Corps stuff has been lurking around the fringes of Joe-dom for a long time now, they are classics in their own way. And they do have some cool if slightly cheesy characters. Even the current crop of Corps figures in stores now are not really bad concepts, just different/inferior to Joe in production values. Hope you do more of these! |

Damn. If the Corps still looked like that instead of the cheap crap nowadays, they'd be cool.
