For the latest Group Project over at Joecustoms.com, we needed to create a ''Rogue State'' that threatens GI Joe. We needed to create the History of the country, the national flag and the map as well as the leader, the top general and the troops.
For my entry, I decided to adapt the old Eagle Force villains, RIOT, and incorporate them into my Joe-verse. I called the new nation The Democratic Republic of Zambriot, and here is what I came up with. You can see the flag, the map and read about Zambriot at my blog: Oreobuilder's Blog In the meantime, here is the first character that I made: General Mamba. Enjoy! OB

Heh, North Korea made Dennis Rodman a general. Looks good, I can imagine some self-important type over there dressing like that.
Though perhaps it's a bit lacking in self-awarded ribbons and medals. |

Thanks guys. And yes, it definitely needs more medals
I added the original 1982 figure as a reference. Fun fact, the original intent of the Eagle Force line's creator was to have General Mamba with black skin (he is African after all). This was changed before production at the last minute to white skin. If you look at the original card art you can still see the original intent. OB

Big fan of this project! I think I included Zambriot in some of my old G.I. Joe adventures because I liked the name.

Fantastic! Please tell me you're going to interpret some of the Eagle Force (not RIOT) characters too.
I had some of these as a kid from Best Products (including the Eagle Island playset). It's really interesting to read about how much ARAH GI Joe and Eagle Force mirrored each other. A change here or there and Eagle Force could have been what ARAH was in the 80s. Last edited by Dod Ear; 11-05-2013 at 06:19 PM.. |

Thanks guys.
Dod, right now, my plans for Eagle Force characters are on the back burner, but I definitely want to revisit this theme sooner rather than later. Stay tuned. In the meantime, part 2 is up with Nemesis: http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ml#post4536345 OB
