Awesome looking Kamukura, always thought the ROC one was badass but the height always bothered me. You totally resolved that issue while keeping all of the things badass about him. Great job!
Dive bomb is a fantastic Wild Weasel! Using the pilot helmet over the gas mask works perfectly for a flight helmet! Such a cool look, you always unlocked things like this, definitely another idea I’ll have to borrow for someone.
I probably have to revisit my Ice Viper because it looks 1000x better with the gray German helmet. That’s perfect for him! The head, scarf, helmet and bandanna combo is a spot on recreation of the original figure’s head.
Then just capped it off with a clean and easy Super Trooper. Another fine addition to your giant group of Marauder Joes!
As always, super fun group, so much fun to dig in, check out the pics and read the bios / inspiration.

It's funny you are the 2nd person to mention "Skidmark" to me so I have added him to the "to do" list lol. As always, thanks for your thoughts on my figures/bios, I really very much enjoy reading your feedback & am happy to help inspire bud! =)

Many thanks bro! Glad you like & thanks for stopping by!

*I have plenty of MTF figures currently in process & much more to come!

hey, if you make a Skidmark, for his name I suggest his UK name: Treadmark.

Dang man you have dropped a lot of good stuff since I last dropped by the thread. I've really just popped in and haven't been overly active on the boards recently, so I'm hoping to get caught back up and figured I should start with one of my favorite threads.

Wendigo and Bush Master...love them both. I was a huge fan of American Defense as a kid since K-Mart was my local "toy shop". Had tons of those guys working with my Joes.

Cross Country is one of my favorite Joes along with the HAVOC being one of my favorite vehicles so that custom is awesome. I never had that version as it came out after I had moved on from Joes, but still great.

Crazylegs for some odd reason was one of the Joes I played with most as a kid and your take on him is dead on. If I didn't already have the 25th version this is another one I would "borrow" your idea for.

Wild Weasel is one of the best ones you've done along with that Ice Viper. Spot on with both. The parts choices for Ice Viper are inspiring. That is one I will look to "borrow" from you so I can add him to my Cobra ranks.

Such awesome stuff buddy and the collection picks are incredible.

No plans to have these on instagram at this time, but I have considered a photo gallery style website of sorts for "My MTF Universe" collective in the future...

You Sonova-Itch! Although it's been a little while since the last update, I can tell you that I have currently been working on 3 waves of "New Recruits" & already have another 20+ figures completed beyond that, (who are just waiting for those long-awaited MGR 2020 heads to drop!) But hey you're in luck buddy, a batch of "New Recruits" drops today! I look forward to your WORDS!

NEW RECRUITS!!!!! WAR MACHINE + MARAUDERGEDDON... FUTURE WAR!!!!!

#266/W6. MASTER SARGENT (based on the movie War Machine/GI Joe: Snake Eyes)
Elite Strike Force
Origin: USA
WAR MACHINE 2010

Continuing with the final 3 of my WAR MACHINE tribute roster, both the Snake Eyes & Storm Shadow homage have been finished for many months. But I saved them when I decided on a unique head for the Duke character. This one works on many levels for Snake Eyes within my MTF Universe, both fulfilling the WAR MACHINE homage & as a OG black commando themed SE. Even though he uses martial arts throughout the movie his costume & weaponry stay more commando based. I added an Arashikage sticker to his shoulder pad to emulate the red markings he has there in the movie, & made sure to give him an oldskool cell phone as he shows his when getting a call from his commander during the film that was made back in 2010.

The Master Sargent is the General's watchdog & assassin. Everything about him is classified & the squad's leader, First Sargent, doesn't trust him... as he only follows orders from the General. In a skirmish with he White Ninja, the Master Sargent is injured & left for dead, but rescued by a native girl, where secrets from his background are revealed to her (while she also reveals herself to his watchful gaze!)

#267/W7. WHITE NINJA (based on the movie War Machine (White NInja - Last Battle version)/GI Joe: Storm Shadow)
ASP
Origin: Cambodia
WAR MACHINE 2010

The White Ninja (played by D.Y. Sao) has 2 looks in the War Machine movie. The more traditional Storm Shadow "sash" look, & a more armored look at the end of the film... I found the latter to be something I could replicate better within MTF. For my build I added an Arashikage sticker where his armor's emblem is, & the white German skirt to complete the movie-style look. The War Machine film offers some fun one-on-one fight scenes (that are actually better than the "Snake Eyes" Hollywood production imho), despite all of the movies limitations.

WHITE NINJA has been personally hired by the SUPREME COMMANDER to assist in his nefarious schemes in the Dominican Republic. He faces off with the Elite Strike Force, easily beating both the RANGER & FIRST SARGENT. When facing off against the MASTER SARGENT he wounds him with shuriken & leaves him for dead. But the 2 will meet again in a climactic last battle that will see the WHITE NINJA protected in more ways than one!
