I'm finally getting around to catching up on some of my favorite threads.
You've dropped some great stuff buddy. Dead Eye is so simple yet so beautifully done. It never ceases to amaze me how you make a custom and I'm like how did I never see that that could be made with these parts. I always loved that color scheme and the no gloves look for Snake Eyes in the cartoon. MARS/Wrath is a great design and use of incorporating the mech suit parts.

^^^PonyGT! Griff! Ax! Thanks for your enthusiasm as always my friends!
NEW RECRUITS!!!!! #281 WILD WOLF (STRIKE FORCE VERSION) (based on GI Joe VvV Night Force Wild Bill ) Marauder Task Force Origin: USA Season 5 Wild Bill has been on my radar for a long time, he was one of the first figures my brother's & I had as kids, & much like his rival Wild Weasel I have been looking to add him to "My MTF Universe." I just wasn't sure the catalog was there to build a good representation for awhile, even with Chicken Fried Toys having some good hats! Then they announced the Cavalry Officer & I figured my WB-stand-in was there, so I thought I was all set... But then I ordered a head from Vitruvina Armory, thinking I could use it for a Gung-Ho custom I am planning in the far future. Got the head in & realized it would not work because of the port for a hair piece it has in the back & that I did not know about prior lol. Looking through Yo Joe for some more bald goatee guys & bam... Bill was back! Even though WILD WOLF is one of the highest ranked officers in the MTF due to his many heroic years of service, he likes to keep things in the air rather than grounded in an office, & made that very clear when continuing his tenure with the recommissioned MTF after his time with their prior military incarnation. Ever since, they have made him one of the leading pilots on many of their most elite missions... Currently, he's Phantom Force's "Ride Out" under Strike Force Leader ATHENA'S command, as she wanted him heading their evac's boarding party & escape route. He's fearless, hard hitting, slow walking, & probably the best GD pilot you could ever ask for. Season 5 background: Last edited by Steel Brigade; 12-09-2021 at 02:45 PM.. |

#282/X77. REI (based on the movie Mutant Girls Squad - aka Sentō Shōjo: Chi no Tekkamen Densetsu)
Hilko Labs/Mutant Girls Squad Origin: Japan Season 9 *Japanese Anti/Heroines series **Plays with your Marauder Task Force Figures!!! Continuing the Mutant Girl Squad trio, Rei was the last character I recreated in figure form. The challenge was I had to figure out what would be a good way to get that specific armor look she has in the movie. At the film's first glance you would think it's a bird type feather armor due to the design, but it's actually meant to be shellfish shells. So Vitruvian Armory was to the rescue for some cool armor options! She is made up of Boss Fight parts with a MGR head (on a Zap female connector neck joint....thanks Zap!) & MGR belt/stand. The belt represents the bomb belt she has in the movie & gives her something unique to her reinforcement suit from the other 2 girls. REI struggled in her childhood, orphaned at a young age, she had some unharnessed psychic powers that led the villagers she ended up living with to abandon her at a side show. This meant spending most of her days locked up, only to be revealed to audiences when the carny's holding her would exploit her gift to lead to their own profit margin. Rarely shown kindness, REI eventually escaped but was captured again by authorities after going ballistic like a wild animal on some antagonists in the streets of Tohoku, Japan. Brought to a shady delinquent institution, she was sold to Hilko Labs which ran various experiments on her to help her manifest her psychic powers into creating actual mutated unique armor from her body. REI is full of hate for mankind who views her differently & is seeking revenge for years of wrong-doings towards her. Appointed trainer & leader of the "Mutant Girls Squad," she is heading the campaign to destroy the last of Japan's hierarchy for Hilko Labs, which may lead to her own death by carrying a last resort bomb belt... But will it matter if her own team turns against her? |

#283/X78. YOSHIE (based on the movie Mutant Girls Squad - aka Sentō Shōjo: Chi no Tekkamen Densetsu)
Hilko Labs/Mutant Girls Squad Origin: Japan Season 9 *Japanese Anti/Heroines series **Plays with your Marauder Task Force Figures!!! Yoshie is my favorite member of Mutant Girl Squad. Director Noboru Iguchi always has a character named "Yoshie" in his original movies, as this character represents the "good girl" in his films. Perhaps a childhood female friend inspired this as Yoshie will always represent kindness & morale. After I figured out that I could make Rin using Boss Fight parts, I shortly discovered later that I could also make a good representation of Yoshie. At first I thought I was just going to make one mutant squad girl, & have the interchangeable parts where you could just make the 2 (than 3) out of 1 figure... then I thought why not just make all 3 lol. The Harry Potter Cho Chang head is actually pretty great for the character, & once again using one of Zap's female connectors to the Boss Fight body worked like a charm, but the finishing touch was those wild Boss Fight tentacle arms, just like Yoshie has in the movie. The fact I could recreate this character pretty accurately brings me much joy lol. "Aaay!" YOSHIE was a happy girl who was looking forward to finishing her high school days & then going into nursing school. But when Japan sunk mostly underwater, & the radiation levels grew, YOSHIE had a strange reaction where her arms & face seemed to be malforming, mutating, or even adapting to the new environment at an alarming rate, so much so that she started to hide them from the world due to the unusualness of her condition. Reaching out to Hilko Labs, (which advertised being able to "help in this world of new & unusual medical conditions"), YOSHIE was tricked into becoming one of their experiments. Brainwashed into thinking it was for a just cause, the labs completely embraced & accelerated her anomaly. Her arms had become tentacle weapons that she could now wield & manifest by will. They are bulletproof, can cut like saws, are virtually indestructible, & can expand at twice their normal size. She also has a kiss of death where she can drain your life force with a touch of her lips. Beautiful, bizarre, & deadly, YOSHIE still retains her cheery disposition, & will form a bond with RIN in their next Mutant Girl Squad mission, this time, with their own meaning of justice! *Japanese Anti/Heroines series roster 1. GALLY 2. RIKA 3. RIN 4. REI 5. YOSHIE 6. YUKI (coming soon!) 7. MONAMI (coming soon!) 8. SAKI (coming soon!) 9. SAYA (coming soon!) 10. AMI (coming soon!) MUTANT GIRL SQUAD... COMPLETE!

#284/X79. GHOUL (based on GI Joe Modern Era "Wraith")
Independent/M.A.R.S.-Wrath Affiliate Origin: France Season 9 Parts bin build! Even though I thought the MGR Cyber-Ops Gunner head build was clever, it didn't jive for me as a "B.A.T" head... but I thought it would make a great "Wraith" head! I had the ME Wraith (as I have almost all of those figures), both the regular & the chase, & I liked the figure except for those hindered wired gun/arms. I thought we could improve on that 13 years later (but still retain the original's charm...just make him more...mobile. ;-) ) When I started putting the ideas together for a build for him, I lucked out having most of the parts I needed already, I thought the Exo-Suit would work perfectly for the character & added a few things like the bullet belts to complete that ME look! GHOUL was a legend both among the MTF & WRATH. A freelancer who mastered in carnage, theft, & personal glory. Until one day he decided to try & steal one of M.A.R.S. Industries prototype Exo-Suits, copied from the Advanced ROBO-tics labs, that used a new cloaking enhancement that makes the wearer virtually invisible. The M.A.R.S. techs knew how to disable this option and the M.A.R.S. security finally had GHOUL at a stand-still. An admirer of GHOUL'S work, WAR MASTER offered him the option of death or employment, & GHOUL took the latter. Now working for M.A.R.S./WRATH, in the very Exo-Suit armor he was trying to steal, GHOUL excels in his new role as their leading espionage expert! |
