Budo was a character that I liked as a kid, but I thought that he was a dumb character in context. A couple of years ago, someone did a concept figure of him where he was a biker, and it made sense! I wish I knew who did it, because he definitely inspired me to do this version. I did a biker version of Jinx a while back based on her Renegades design, and I NEVER liked Ninja Force, so I came up with the idea of reimagining them as a foil to the Dreadnoks; a Japanese biker gang with ties to the Arashikage. I'm all for keeping the GI JOE "ninja lore" to a bare minimum, so here it goes:

These are stellar. Great concept.
I'm sure this isn't news to you, but Budo is a motorcycle mechanic. So this is totally natural and I don't know why Hasbro never went this route.

Those are hard-ass customs, man. I like the concept and the tattoo work on Banzai is incredible.

These are truly awesome, buddy. Hopefully, you intend to expand into the remainder of Ninja Force, and then remit a set to me.

Cool figures and cool concept. Budo just makes me think of Steven Seagal for some reason, lol.

Japanese biker gang with ties to the Arashikage is so creative and a very cool concept. All four look awesome but Banzai is my favorite here. Tattoos are insanely executed on this figure. What body did you use? It looks very similar to that GI Joe Jurassic Park Dino Heavy Gunner.
Great work!! |
