I made Snake and Shark with the original black mtf suited figure. Loved those cheap ass K-Mart figures.

Could probably use a ninja, a pilot, biker/gang member. Hell, Von Chill II is more a biological scientist, they could use more of mechanical mad scientist. Von Chill II could probably use his own troops or body guards. If EF Classics does well maybe they can do something with the prototype Von Chill head design with the visor. Might as well design some more female characters too. Heck, Baroness was part of Joe from the start and took a couple years before her figure was in RAH. |

Nice reveal. That Ivan needs a Russian hat. I guess I can get one from MTF.

The more I look at Ivan the more of I am reminded of Bluto, in a good way. Does Russia have Marines? Maybe that should be Ivan's military background. Or the Soviet Navy

If I remember Red Storm Rising right, Russian paratroopers fill the same role the Marines do.

I don't think they actually fill the role of Marines, but more like that of Airborne Infantry. Stormavik was the Oktober Guard member of that service branch.

They kind of do... but they are the Naval Infantry, not Marines. The G.I. Joe team had a character called Red Star, who was with the Morskaya Pekhota Russi (MPR), or more simply, the Russian Naval Infantry.

MPR seems like a good fit for Ivan; I like how the color palette for Ivan matches the RIOT Commandos and Shock troopers. If Cobra is blue/red/black RIOT can be grey/black/red. |

But, yeah, the MPR also exist and are probably the closer equivalent. |

Unfortunately I'm not a fan of the gold uniforms but I will definitely be interested in these characters if they get released in other attire.
