nothing too fancy...i actually like the concept of kamakura, but didn't really enjoy his roc or retaliation figures...so i made my two favorite looks for him:
version 1: i always really dug this look...made him really look like a trainee. i thought the mix of green ninja uniform and combat boots worked, and the bright yellow mask made me think that maybe snake eyes gave him that as a "training" hood, and he would have to earn his proper mask. head & belt: dg storm shadow torso, arms & upper legs: 25th storm shadow lower legs: dg snake eyes webgear: retaliation ultimate snake eyes interesting note: this entire figure was made with fodder from my parts bin...nothing new was procured to make this guy. isn't it awesome when it works out that way? version 2: my favorite look for kamakura. still in green, but a much more muted tone. no more yellow mask, because he's earned his hood. still a few hints of his military training, but his outfit definitely suggests that he has more strongly embraced his ninja training. the retaliation figure was decent, but i thought he could benefit from a few tweaks... head & belt: dg storm shadow body: retaliation 3-pack kamakura webgear: retaliation ultimate snake eyes sword: retaliation ninja duel snake eyes |

yup...another day, another figure...
anyway...the night force club figure is cool. but my nostalgia made me want charbroil in his classic colors. it's funny...when i was young and got charbroil at kb toys, i really disliked him...didn't want some new guy stealing blowtorch's job. ;) but over the years i really grew to dig the figure. head: roc aqua viper officer body & webgear: retaliation joe trooper helmet, weapon & backpack: club nf charbroil |

was never a huge fan of the character...this was really born out of a desire to build something solely from parts in my fodder bins...

yeah, tiger claw was really just a cheap repaint of kamakura...but i grew up in the glory days of joe, so re-purposing works for me. sorta like the palette-swap ninjas in mortal kombat...
head, feet & sash: dg storm shadow body: retaliation 3-pack kamakura backpack & swords: retaliation ultimate storm shadow this is sort of a budget dr venom...and an improvement in one arena. i hated the painted on tie of the club figure, so that needed to be improved. and, i thought chuckles' head had an appropriate expression to sub as the good doctor... head: 25th chuckles body: mu professor x coat: roc rex "the doctor" lewis |

Nice work on all! My favorites are the Muskrat and the Raptor; both are really cool!
