E.C.H.O. Team - Ozone
I posted a JoyToy kit-bash (right of center) weeks ago, but didn't know how to use him in my universe. To me his face most resembles V2 Mercer or Ozone. I only knew of the blue and yellow Ozone as I stopped buying figs in '90 and my younger brother shortly after. I remember my brother's Ozone because he reminded me of M.A.S.K. figures. Also had a short conversation about JoyToy helmets in that original thread, so I thought I could put them to good use. I settled on Ozone as a Special Forces Operator who transitioned to a career as a Doctor/Medical Scientist. Before Ozone I had no desire to incorporate zombies in my universe. After looking up Ozone I stumbled on to the 2014 Convention set for the first time. I know, really late in the game. So I am building up my Environmental Contagion Hazardous Operations Team. Ozone is the same figure with mostly new gear, but I like the way it came together as his colors are similar to v2.

E.C.H.O. Team Leader - Flint
Flint is the obvious choice to lead this team. I geared him up as if he also acts as the point man as the team ventures into the outbreak zone. I think the helmet is a good real-world approximation of his original Eco-Warriors helmet. This fell into place. I used the legs and vest from my previous Flint with a new torso, arms, head and gear.

E.C.H.O. Team - Barbecue
I see Barbecue joining the team for fire control, fire suppression and ax wielding expertise. Modeled him after forestry firefighters and smoke jumpers. So he's ready fight through a literal hell. You can check out images of the real Smoke Jumpers here: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...ce-firefighter His gear pays homage to his original v1 colors in the burnt red-orange of his knees, vest, and the pewter color of his helmet. The POC Dusty head has red-orange hair and looks like he's literally been fighting flames and smoke recently.

ECHO Team - Tunnel Rat
I figured this team could use a subterranean expert adept at survival and explosives. The basics of OG Tunnel Rat: Green Shirt, Black Pants, Brown Boots. I took my old Flint custom's torso and just built from there. It took some effort to make the boots fit the legs properly but it worked in the end.

Very cool group of figures! Really dig what you did with Ozone, a character I never had any use for, but you've given depth and purpose for on the team. Flint is a favorite character, and you've done him justice here, and the same goes for Tunnelrat, who looks seriously ticked off with that head sculpt. Thanks for sharing, and keep up the great JoyToy customs!

Thanks AWOL, You were part of the inspiration for this! Our short conversation on helmets got me thinking I should use more of the ones I have, but I needed a better reason than "these look cool." It has now taken over my customizing for the foreseeable future. Keep your eyes open as I'll be posting more in this series tonight and tomorrow.
