Growing up in NY, I was only familiar with GI Joe and Cobra...I had no clue about Action Force and their dreaded enemies (some of whom were merely repainted Cobra figures) until years later when I started reading the toy magazines and frequenting toy shows. Thanks to the vast online resources available nowadays, I was inspired to make some addition enemies for my little army men to fight (killing Cobras all the time was getting boring for Gung Ho and Shipwreck). Here's a modern take on The Black Major:
He's a ROC Cobra Elite Viper body, minus the shoulder pads (I attached some random greeblies to fill in the holes) with a 25th Joe 5 Pack Flint head (this Flint had the superior body and gear to the carded Flint, but an odd looking head that made a better Euro villian than Warrant Officer, IMO). The Red Shadow Troopers are just the Resolute 5 pack Cobra Troopers. I have a Red Jackal, Skeletron and Baron Ironblood in the works, too. |

Sweet did you hand paint that Skull Insignia, I am eventually going to make the Red Shadows it's on the list of things to do, that will most probably never get done.

Thanks for all the compliments. Yes, I did hand paint the skull and bones logo, I was going to print one out but I'm low on printer ink. I took a good look at the actual Red Shadows logo and decided "hmm..seems simple enough, I can paint that", so I went with it.
