Merlin is a character created by Kwinn_Lives, who gave me his thumbs up to make this tribute custom. Kwinn_Lives mined the original GI Joe toys/box art for file names appearing on vehicles. The names were unlinked to figures/characters. He took the name "Frederick Bama" and created Merlin, a transport plane pilot.
My take on Merlin uses 25A/NS parts instead of the ARAH parts Kwinn_Lives used. I stuck close to his color sets, which a few minor changes to better fit the parts used. The Ace/Wild Bill helmet was too small for even the Indiana Jones head, so I made an alternate helmeted head with the helmet glued onto a chopped down IJ head.

Thanks, all.
I want to say the name was on the Skyhawk? He's a good actor and would be great in a Joe movie! He had a cameo in of the Captain America movies as a SHIELD agent. The Russo Brothers directed Community and got cameos for many of the actors in Marvel stuff. (BTW, wouldn't Gillian Jacobs have made a perfect Captain Marvel?) |
