We were going for a more serious set of custom figures... thanks for the compliments, guys. I choose the parts and send them to Marine Deadpool, and he takes it from there. As always, he works magic and does amazing work.

A note about the heads: Tracker's head is the extra head that came with POC Zartan. the SEAL Platoon Commander (Geronimo) head is a Christian Bale head from Slayer Designs. The Torpedo head, the Sam Elliot Head (who is actually called "Bullfrog"), and the "Bullfrog" head (which is actually Wet Down) all came from Broken Arrow Toys. The other heads came from Night Fox, and copies of Night Fox made by The Casting Cave.

As for their names...
The SEAL Platoon Commander's name is: Geronimo The figure listed as "Bullfrog" is actually supposed to be "Wet Down", and the un-named Sniper is supposed to be "Bullfrog". Wet Down is a similar Rank as Torpedo, so he makes a good counterpart for the "Black Team" We will be adding some more SEALs to this roster: Shipwreck, Link Talbot (code name: Orca), and more CQB SEALs. And Night Fox will be leading a special squad of CQB SEALs: "Sea Shadows"... well, that sounds like a better name than "Fathom Phantoms"... OK, it's still a work in progress and I'm open to suggestions. D'OH!! I'll make changes to the pics when I get some time. Thanks everyone, and thanks to Oliver being a great selector of parts! You come up with some awesome combinations bro!

Wow. Those are just awesome. I have being putting together a seal team myself but nothing like that. Those are great. I put mine on the back burner cause I know nothing about a seal team. So I had no idea where to start. What are the ranks of a seal team? I have more of like a five man team in mind.

If you're really interested in a real SEAL Platoon, you might check with fellow tanker Zulu Delta. He has done a lot of reading on the subject, and he can give you a solid and detailed breakdown for how the SEAL Teams are organized into platoons, etc. For this custom Joe Unit of SEALs, I'm pretty much using the ranks of the Joes provided by the filecards. Geronimo is a Navy LT. Bullfrog is supposed to be about an E7 or so.

I think that prior to the establishment of the SO rating, an enlisted man kept his original rating of whatever he joined the Navy as, Gunners Mate (GM), Fire Controlman (FC), etc... with the SEAL following the rank to identify him as a SEAL. ex. GM1 (SEAL). Since the addition of the SO rate, they have an added the SO insignia... seen below. SEAL Officers can be any Naval Officer rank, but most of the tactical operators are Lt Junior Grade (O-2) or LT (O-3). Most senior officers who were SEALs at one point in their career will still wear the SEAL Trident. There are also SEAL Chief Warrant Officers, CWO2-CWO5. I am not sure how the rank/rating acronym would appear for that though. I am sure that someone with more knowledge will chime in with any corrections. I hope this helps you out.
