Lightning was one of the Special Weapons Force of Action Force, which never made it beyond the prototype stage.
I'm slowly working my way through this small sub-team. Also seen are Boffin (with the beard) and Fixer (blonde hair). Last edited by Clockwise; 09-29-2023 at 09:29 AM.. |

That's sweet!!! Do you have a pic of the original prototype? Never heard of him.
EDIT: Doh!!! I have heard of him as I have made a custom of him in the past. He is the SWF Gunner. That's funny; I changed his race too. Starting to forget things!!! Nice job again.

Once I started working on the head, I realized the face sculpt looked a bit like Danny John-Jules (Cat from Red Dwarf), so painted it to match. |

Thanks!
Palitoy had two different color sets for the SWT, and this is one that I'd describe as "saltwater taffy". It's crazy, but they did a good job of squeezing lots of use out of a limited number of parts through recoloring. And since these guys are arguably more in the lab more than the field, the bizarre colors are okay. |

Action Force had some really interesting characters and concepts. They were a little more bold than GI Joe in that they made entire teams that were environment specific (ie: space team, aquatic team, arctic team, etc...). That being said, you have nailed the look of the Action Force with your customs, including this newest one. It is always bold to paint with bright, vibrant colors, and you have done so quite nicely, creating a team that goes together brilliantly!
