Okay! Never actually understood why people rag on this character all the time. Seems to me like a LOT of GI Joe is ridiculous and stupid in some way by that logic... can't understand why this character gets singled out so often.
Now, I don't often do this, and certainly, I didn't have to, but I decided to reinterpret the character a bit. Actually, the inspiration can from the Star Wars figure I took the head from; it just looked like a badass Crystal Ball to me! I'm not 100% on the medallion. If anyone has a better suggestion, please lemme know. Otherwise, I think the parts work great and really make an otherwise obscure character that much more believable. I think the new look makes him more Eastern-European, and more menacing; maybe he can't read minds like legends say, but he's certainly intimidating enough that he'll have you thinking he knows everything about you! Head & Arms: Some Star Wars figure I don't know the name of. Torso: RoC Firefly Legs: SDCC exclusive Destro Hope you enjoyed this figure!

Talon Kaarde is the Star Wars figure. I've often thought about using his coat/vest for a Covergirl custom.

cool lookin figure.
I thought he should be re-imagined as well. Him and Raptor need a little help, they could be cool. If you watch the Cape on NBC there is a hypnotist character that could very easily be Crystal Ball.

That looks ways cool. I might suggest shortening the hair just a bit or maybe giving him a shield?

Crystal Ball should've been in the Renegades episode featuring Tomax and Xamot as some sort of prophet and mad man. This guy isn't all that ridiculous when applied in the proper format.
Not a bad custom, btw.

That does look like a nice modern era Crystal Ball. Just needs some red eyes!
