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 Here I present the next 4 customs in my beautify the Corps! program. I had to deviate from the card art a little due to lack of available parts. But I think I managed to capture the spirit of the Corps!. Also, since the original figures were known for having big barrel chests and broad shoulders, I figured Sgt Stone's body would be a good base for most. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...shape1983.html http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...-part-3-a.html Shooter Sam, I couldnt find the original card art for Sam, so I chose to go with his repaint all black clothes version. It just looks so much cooler than his usual camo. parts: head: 25th Blowtorch torso/upper arms:25th Duke lower arms:25th Wild Bill Thighs: Cobra Eel lower legs:25th Shipwreck feet: 25th Wild Bill hat: From a chapmei cowboy, modded JunkYard alternate Ripcord head. Was my first choice. parts: head: Target Bravo Team torso/legs: ROC Zartan arms: 25th Roadblock webgear: 25th Snake Eyes Rocket launcher: vintage Corps! Large Sarge parts: head: Avengers Thor with Shockwave's cap and ROC Doctor hair modded body: ROC Sgt Stone vest: Crossbones bazooka: vintage Corps! Flashfire parts: head Grant Hill from starting lineup Super Stars line torso/legs: ROC Sgt Stone upper arms: ROC Zartan lower arms: ROC Arctic Snake Eyes vest from Marauders back pack and torch from ROC Charbroil
