NEW RECRUITS!!!!!
#341/133. WRATH LASER TROOPER(S) (based on G.I. Joe ARAH Laser Viper 1990) Wrath Origin: Various Season 10 I had a plans to do Laser Viper homage for a while now, as I came up with an idea for the configuration of his gear using the mech suit from my parts bin fodder... but as I was ready to pull the trigger, the custom caster sold out of his final 4 Laser Viper helmets a heartbeat before I ordered one lol... so Laser Viper ended up being put in hold. I waited a couple months... but there was no restock even after an inquiry, so I bought a minty vintage ARAH one to complete him. ;-) LASER TROOPER(S) serve 2 functions in the "Wet World" for Wrath... One, they use their Laser sights to target objects for piloted aircraft & drones to drop some heavy fire, and Two, they have concentrated laser beams to make holes in things causing the opposition to sink into the water. When needed, their shoulder mounts can be augmented with both remote lasers or remote artillery depending on the situation which creates a very versatile gunman. They have great maneuverability despite their tech, & the heroes have to try to eliminate them asap because if they don't, they could be below sea level before the party even starts!

#342/134. OFFICER O'HULIHAN
Maurauder Task Force affiliate Origin: Ireland Season 10 Copy Pasta from the MGR site. I just made my cop Irish so I gave him red hair to boot lol. It's a great set that they sell from the Boss Fight Library over at MGR, so why not add a straight up cop to My MTF Universe? Notes: From Greg Samarael on facebook:"btw 'Hulihin' in tagalog is ?to capture? or ?to catch someone? 'Hulihan' is a variation, but if you pronounce it differently it will be translated as 'rear end' " *"Officer O'Hulihan here, what seems to be the problem?" Mostly known as a sidekick to CONSTABLE DAIYU, OFFICER O'HULIHAN is a by the books, no-nonsense cop & a never-ending pain to most of the civilian residence in Atlantis. Truth is he wants to maintain order and do a good job, but he's just so obnoxious about everything with that voice of his, until a superior shuts him up because he has a bit of an ego. With that said, he runs a tight ship & "city crime" is at an all time low on the Atlantis Rig in Sector 7. ;-) . Last edited by Steel Brigade; 08-13-2022 at 12:26 PM.. |

#343/135. BATTLE MAID
Neutral Origin: Japan Side Story: Shinjuku Demon Parade In my many trips to Japan over the years, I always go to the touristy "Maid Cafes" in Tokyo (mostly Akiba & Shinjuku but they are everywhere) as I like to spend a couple extra hours with more pretty Japanese girls bringing me cute food and singing me idol style songs while calling me master lol. I've had a lot of fun at these restaurants, & have even gone to themed ones (like Samurai!)... With that in mind, I have been wanting to add a "maid" character to my Shinjuku Demon Parade story, & have had the body built for a few months... while recently adding this custom painted head from ebay, that I thought was a perfect fit (with the trademark flower in her hair.) The head originally comes from the Naruto series, & the figure is influenced from (of course) Maid Cafes, Akiba Maid Movies in my collection, & even the rock group Band-Maid! ;-) "moe moe kyun kyun!!" SALA was working at one of the last operating "Maid Cafes" in Shinjuku when the Shutendoji Cult arrived to open the demon veil. Her usually friendly, bubbly, sweet persona... turned stern & aggressive, as she has great pride in her job & a fear for the end of her well being. Growing up with a background in kendo, she (last minute) joined KIKU'S small team of strong remaining women to try & follow the legend of closing the Demon Veil. Team members laughed at her for being still in her maid outfit upon arrival & bringing a push broom, until they saw her use it! ...Thus earning her the nickname... BATTLE MAID! *the "type" of girl I'm attributing: . Last edited by Steel Brigade; 08-28-2022 at 03:54 PM.. |

#344/136. EL CAMINO (based on Dreadhead Cletus - 2004 G.I.Joe Convention exclusive)
Neo-Noks Origin: Mexico Season 10 Dreadhead Cletus same about when I bought this Boss Fight head for another upcoming character, & then decided it was going to be a 2nd head for said character, since he was going to be helmeted. Figuring I would never use it for that character in my display, I decided to repurpose it. I considered the Dreadheads when coming up with my "Neo-Nok" roster in 2020... (3 of which are still w.i.p.s, waiting for those long delayed MGR 2020 heads), but was more of an "extra" idea... until I decided to add 2 more Dreadnoks to my MTF Universe... this being the first of the "New for 2022" to drop! *Extra Notes: Cletus was my favorite color combo of all the Dreadheads... PS: That sticker on his head really makes it! XD THE NEO-NOKS (formerly the DREADNOKS) 1. POSEIDON ver. 1 & ver. 2 2. ROAD KILL 3. SUKEBAN 4. BITTERSWEET (coming soon!) 5. THRASH METAL (coming soon!) 6. SCORCH (coming soon!) 7. MEDUSA 8. BONECRUSHER 9. ZEUS 10. ARTEMIS 11. EL CAMINO 12. ??????? (coming soon!) The code for joining the NEO-NOKS has always been a "Battle Royale," a survival competition between newcomers held annually, that only the strongest at the end of the challenges will be considered as ..."possible new recruits." This is followed by a final fight amongst the highest performers. Often, the challenges are so life threatening, that no one actually makes it. EL CAMINO bypassed the challenges by coming to ZEUS directly & providing an absolute bevy of weapons & artillery in a time where they are amongst the most valuable items in the "Wet World." When asked what he wanted in return, he answered "family" as he was looking to separate from his, and offered a hand written laundry list of his past dastardly deeds. ZEUS was so impressed by his presentation & gifts that he offered him a place in the NEO-NOK roster. . Last edited by Steel Brigade; 08-13-2022 at 12:33 PM.. |

#345/V3. WILD BILL (based on G.I. Joe ARAH Wild Bill 1983)
Marauder Task Force (G.I. Joe) Origin: USA 'NAM 19XX Wild Bill & the Dragonfly were among my brother's & I's first 3 vehicles growing up, as we received that set, the Rattler, & the SHARC one X-mas. I had Bill built for some time, but was waiting on restocks for his vest (BF thru MGR), head, & hat (DNL thru Vitruvian Armory). It's funny when you are waiting on a few things to complete your characters, as you never quite know when they'll be finished because of those essential items. Will I be able to complete him in a month? In a year? Who knows! LOL... Luckily those last 3 items showed up within a week or so of each other... so it's nice to finally have another representation of one of my earliest Joes in my current MTF Universe again. When GUNG-HO received word that some of his former fellow service men in Eagle Force where not MIA in Vietnam & were actually POWS of a new terrorist group known as CRIMSON MOON, he immediately contacted his 4 best men for a "off-the records" mission that was not approved by G.I. Joe. These men where ROADBLOCK, LEATHERNECK, & his ace pilot WILD BILL. BILL being the highest ranked amongst them, obviously had the most to lose by his defiance. But BILL also didn't want anyone else flying his guys in and out, & when GUNG-HO told him who he thinks maybe being kept as a prisoner, (their old commander, CAPTAIN EAGLE,) he immediately joined the cause. Calling themselves the "Marauder Task Force," as they are hoping to bring in both friend & foe alike... WILD BILL is ready for take off! . Last edited by Steel Brigade; 05-12-2023 at 06:33 PM.. |

Consider this sentiment echoed. Laser Viper is super clever

Dig that story for Wild Bill! The neo-nok is interesting. I too favor Laser-Viper, including your file card description.

Laser Viper, Officer O'Hulihan, Battle Maid, Wild Bill, El Camimo are all such impressive builds!! Love the details and that vintage helmet on Laser Viper, you're truly nailed the look!
Then Battle Maid, I mean you know how I love each and every new addition of ladies in this thread. They're both foxy and deadly at the same time and that applies on all of them as they're meticulously executed! The parts are so carefully selected to complete an accurate and sharp look! El Camino is another perfect example of how you blend MGR and BFS blend so seamlessly with these builds. Really like the look of that belt/holster, not completely sure if that's one part altogether but it does look nice. Beautiful color scheme! You can never go wrong with a solid MGR based cop; and he's Irish so even better! I may need to made me a couple of those builds, as they look dashing! Wild Bild is another solid build, the best I've seen got to say. Digging every aspect of it. It clearly shows you've put a good amount of thought prior. Never made one of said character so I'd love to use this recipe if that's okay. Exceptional round of awesome builds bro! Keep them coming!! |
