Haha, great minds think alike. Once the question was asked, I did get really curious to see how everyone else would interpret the team members.

Next up is the Ninja Commando who took the longest for me to take from idea to finished product because painting a pricier figure was a little intimidating. Absolutely love this version of Road Pig though, always loved the Sonic Fighter version growing up since that was the one that I had so I would have been all in had this one been released.
Another non-marauder build. This is just Sonic Fighter Road Pig repainted to match up with the scheme of the unreleased figure. Still looking for some armor for around his waist but I think the figure still works really well without it. On the fence on committing to paint his shoulder pads, like both looks but he usually goes without when on the shelf to match the original more. Then I geared him up with some unused Boss Fight weapons that just seemed to go with this version of Road Pig had he been released in the 90’s. Seeing the three Road Pigs together was not something I ever expected but I love how different they all are from each other. Then as I mentioned a few posts back, a little more intrigue with this version since my interpretation of the unreleased images leads me to believe that he defected to the Joe team....at least for one mission. Haha. So Ninja Commando Road Pig:

I dig it. Nice idea coloring the knee joint like that.

Hahaha, thanks! I was planning on giving him his cinderblock but I seem to have misplaced it, then I saw the boss fight stuff sitting there & thought, Road Pig would definitely grab a random broom from the alley way & start wrecking shop with it! Gives him a Streets of Rage feel.
Thanks, Slice! That was actually a happy accident, I painted the legs & kneepads but didn’t touch the joints. The neon green seeping through gives him an awesome 90’s Joe feel so I’m happy I didn’t try to drown the extra color out.

Thanks! Haha, those were my favorite shots to take, I specifically made a Marauder BAT just for tearing in half.
Last member of the team & the first I put together which inspired me to go all in with the group. Ninja Commando Budo. Another all Marauder build, just painting parts an Emerald Teal in order to match the paint job of the unreleased figure. Then using the Hasbro head to give him the grizzled veteran Budo look so he’s a little different than the original Joe versions.

And of course, team shots of the entire group.
One of my favorite projects to work on because my favorite versions of Snake Eyes were the V1, V3 & V4 where he was more Commando than Ninja. Plus this concept was also how I viewed Scarlett. I loved Ninja Force & the Street Fighter line growing up but I always preferred the blend where they were more soldier than straight up ninja so this group was really perfect for me. I think the Commando aspect of the group makes a lot of sense with Flint too since it’s kind of a stretch for him to just be a straight up ninja now, add some guns & training with Snake Eyes though and I think every Joe could be a Ninja Commando! The character selection included some of my favorites in Budo, Flint, Storm Shadow & Road Pig so that also led to their appeal for me. It’s not a group for everyone but I’m really happy that I was able to put them together for my shelf. The Ninja Commandos!

Thanks! He’s been my favorite one since day one. Definitely going to make the Shang Tsung using this same formula at some point, just with a different head.
Keep flipping back between the pictures of both of our groups because I love how we both had really different interpretations of them. Maybe we’ll start a run on them & someone will be inspired to make their own version of the group. Haha.
