HBO's prison drama, Oz, is one of my all-time favorite TV shows. And Simon Adebisi, played by British/Nigerian actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, was one of the most memorable characters by far...and NOT because he was a nice guy.
When Adewale was cast to play Heavy Duty in the first GI Joe movie and I saw his figure and how well they nailed his likeness, I knew I had to use it as a base for a custom of everyone's favorite prison drug dealer and rapist: Simon Adebisi, complete with his trademark little hat (custom cast for me by Avac's Lab). How does he keep that on? Velcro? Anyway, GI Joe's Duke was out one night and, 15 Vodka and Red Bulls later, is pulled over and jailed for DWI at the infamous Oswald Correctional Facility (AKA "Oz") over the weekend until the judge can see him on Monday. Unfortunately for Duke, Cobra Commander learns of Duke's incarceration and hires feared inmate Simon Adebisi to take care of Duke in *ahem* ...his own special way, so to speak, in exchange for some "tits" (Oz-speak for drugs). Despite eventually beating the DWI charge and going free, Duke was never quite the same again.

This rocks. Adebisi's one of my favourite characters from one of my favourite shows too. The show wasn't as good after he left.

It really wasn't. I was really shocked by when and how his character left, but it did cement the fact that Oz was a show where anything could happen to anyone at any time. No other show was that unpredictable.

Fantastic; one of the main reasons I watched OZ. Also fantastic use of "O face" Duke!

Great custom! I am sure it's not the first time Duke made that face!

Thanks for the comments, guys. But obviously, there's not a lot of Oz fans posting here, lol.
