Neither of them. I'll be using the original Lifeline as an Air Force PJ (fits well with the original Rescue Trooper thing), First Line, I'll be using as a Combat Medicine NCO with the Forward Aid Station. Glad you're digging Quick-Kick and Double Blast as well.

What happened to the Sabertooth image? I hope you can reuse it. What is Nunchuck's role again? The others look good. Antifreeze fits right in with the Airborne guys, which are some of the best looking. Tiger claw is a brother? I'm surprised not one of the Ninja force guys was African American. But still I like the relaunch of these characters. I've taken to switching all my Ninja Force guys to something more military, so I've reused old figures and pretty much made them all SWAT/FAST types. All inspired by you Zulu.
So far Dojo (Mojo); Nunchuck; Banzai; Prong; Budo I use the Joe. I haven't messed with Bushido or Tiger Claw though. |

He's the support element's ammunition stock control guy (a nod to his ordnance secondary specialty in the original filecard). He's got the best costume of all the Ninja Force guys, so I didn't mess with his look so much.
I always assumed he was (thought that his picture in the filecard was a colouring mistake). The toy had dark-ish skin tones based on what could be seen in the eye holes and he was named after Chad Dawson (now known as Chad Ochocinco), the African-American wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals (hence the "Tiger Claw" code name... Bengal = Tiger). |

I understand where you're coming from in regards to the Ninja Force guys. As a young eurasian kid, I didn't find the Italian American ninjas insulting, just kinda odd. Also, why would they name a ninja Bushido after a samurai code of honour?. I like the name you've used; Anti-Freeze.

You're right he does have darker skin tones. We need to put that on the secrets page too. |

Never liked any of the Ninja Force figures, even the NF versions of SE, SS and Scarlett.
They don't exist in my Joeverse. Chad Johnson, not Dawson They look great though. Like Anti-Freeze and Tiger.

WOW! You've been mightily productive!
It's a little strange to see three nunchaku wielders. I would think there would be better close range, "silent" weapons (I realize that's entirely on Hasbo, not you). A really great set of updates. You're getting better and better with your ability to not only modernize, but preserve the core character elements. Bravo! Last edited by Master Thespian; 11-11-2009 at 03:08 PM.. |

I did? Agh, I must've borked the link when I went and cleaned up my Photobucket account. Thanks for the heads up. I'd also like to get your opinion on the Picasa album that the "GI Joe and CObra Concepts" portion of my signature now links to. Personally, I think the Picasa gallery looks a lot less cluttered than the Photobucket one (and I think Troynos and Loose Cannon have said as much), but I jsut wanted to hear the opinion of another person who's been following my stuff for as long as they have.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate you guys taking the time to let me know what you think. |
