The coloring on Voltar is great! I like the design choices you made to make him your own. Two tone on the arms to avoid paint rub looks really cool too, so combined with your super clean paint job (as always), definitely have a winner here!
Love what you did with the head, those touches of white look so decent that I think I’d display him holding the helmet like the first picture.

So, let’s switch gears for a minute here. I want to talk about Flint for a second. He was in the Tiger Force, he led the Eco Warriors, he was a desert paratrooper, he would have been a Battle Corps Ranger and he presumably would have also led the Ninja Commandos if the line had continued into 1995. This guy was all over the place back in the 80’s/90’s. Was he so good that he was indispensable to the sub-teams? Or was he so incompetent that they kept trying to pass him off to different teams in hopes he would be a casualty? Whatever the case, having Flint be a Ninja Commando is just the type of gonzo shit that Hasbro was throwing against the wall in the early 90’s.
This custom is nothing we haven’t seen before. I present Ninja Commando Flint FLINT (V4.1):1995

Flint never should've been a ninja, any more than effing Road Pig or Zartan.
Eco-Warriors Flint should've been effing Airtight! |

Great figure!! If they would have produced the 95 Joes he would not have been Flint in my Joeverse! And that's a great point, Eco warriors flint should have been AirTight!! I never thought of that. I was thrilled to get Flint without a beret. I cut my neighbors yards for extra cash that summer and Flint was one of my rewards that I purchased. Those were the days!

Great job on Ninja Commando Flint! Love the paint around his neck and on his hands. Solid build for him and those extra touches really add a lot. WW2 straps work great too!
In my head cannon I have Storm Shadow as the leader of the Ninja Commandos with Flint the new recruit trying to work his way up to being efficient in the “Ninja” part of Ninja Commando. And never thought about Airtight being swapped into Flint’s role with the Eco Warriors. That would have made a lot of sense!

I’ve had this custom loaded and ready for a long time...just waiting for the Gray T-Shirt preorder restock. The following figure is from the unproduced Replicators wave had the Joe line continued into 1995. Now, since the chest-bursting alien takes up a good bit of the image, CC’s torso allows for some interpretation. I present...Replicator Cobra Commander
COBRA COMMANDER (V7.5):1995

Awesome idea to tackle this one! Such a fun idea that I always want to start messing around with so cool to start seeing more of them. Think I’ve only ever seen Duke’s done so far.
Really like the build and love the logo on the hood! Really gives it a different look from just the plain hooded head. Hope you tackle more of these down the road!

Here’s another quick interpretation of an unproduced Joe. Thankfully, no paint on this one. Here’s what would have been Shipwreck from the “Battle Rangers” line.
SHIPWRECK (V2.5):1995
