If you look carefully you can see the Ollie's exclusive Star Trooper figures in the background. |

The Star Troopers have left Earth in Light of Fast Radio Bursts (FRB'S) originating from the 6th planet of the star cluster Spinarak. That may be a sign of intelligent life or purpose behind the cryptic FRB. Subsequent to the discovery of the planet's abundant fuel source and mining the ore, The Star Troopers receive a second signal transmitted from a gathering of threatening Hive-Minded creatures known as Sub-Orgs. Earth's last contact with the "Mothership" is a transmission of an enormous and terrifying spider-like Sub-Org crushing their satellite. What is the fate of the Star Troopers? Will they survive this space attack? You decide on the Adventures of the All-New Star Troopers

Whispering Willie did not last long in the Corps and soon formed a biker gang of likeminded rebels known as the Marauders. Willie's ragtag team were eventually overtaken by the Curse who had been gaining power through nanotechnology. After being involved in a street bike accident, Willie's broken bones were repaired with titanium by the Curse and his temper became more unstable. His alliance with the Curse and resilient nature make him one of the Corps' most feared adversaries.
So Whispering Willie is essentially the "Corps!" version of Zartan*, then? Though, quite frankly, he doesn't appear particularly menacing. In fact, his facial expression seems oddly benign, almost friendly. He should have more of a snarl, or a sneer, or something, imo. After doing a Google image search for "Whispering Willie" (with SafeSearch ON!), I must say I much prefer his original look. Well, maybe not the original original look. But v2, at least. (The one who kinda resembles Charlie Brown, if he took steroids, and joined the Newcastle Gremlins.) Who/where are the other Marauders, btw? I don't see them listed anywhere? All the nanotechnology/titanium stuff makes them sorta sound like The Pack in "Gargoyles"**. * Any siblings? Twin siblings? ** Though, pretty sure if the two groups ever actually encountered each other, Hyena would probably castrate Willie and leave him to die, drowning in a pool of his own blood. (Then again, it was a Disney cartoon, so maybe something not quite so graphic.)

The first 2 retail Marauders by name were twins Hac Luger and his brother Crowbar. * See attachment
And yes overtaken by the dark heart nanomachines. And again Star Troopers are NOT an Ollie's exclusive, Ollie's had a reallocated shipment from an australian vendor. The Domestic Release of Star Troopers and The Corp! will be discussed after Hong Kong Toyfair. For more info on all CORPS!

At any rate, it's not especially important, I suppose. Thank you for answering my questions. And those two definitely do look much more evil (plus I love the roller skates). Though strange that a street gang with only three members somehow has two "leaders". Kinda makes a violent power struggle seem sorta inevitable.

The Marauders story is part of the current mythos that's unfolding through the Time Crisis storyline, as both The Corps! and Marauders were founded after the events of WWII. Pre-Time Crisis the timeline had the first marauders team's origin, as well as the events leading up to the formation of the Curse which was to be told in the cancelled DDP comic series.
*again pre- Time Crisis. The Original Corps Team were an international Security Force, consisting of individuals from every country taking on and stopping global threats. The Marauders began as an Australian biker gang which consisted of several ex WWII soldiers from various allied countries, with a common goal, to assure that another global war would never take place, in the original timeline Whispering Willie was a macgyver of sorts think of the original marauders as an a-team who could take on tough or take on impossible odds suicide missions and get the job done. Over time the Marauders team grew, and several ex corps members joined the Marauders as the marauders weren't bound by the same international laws as the Official Corps team operated under. *everyone following so far?......Again this is Pre-Time Crisis history. Over decades the Marauders Legacy grew and their history was passed down and became a closely guarded secret society that foretell the coming of a cataclysmic event. There are whispers of a prophecy that only the Leaders of this group know of, one that if known speak of a paradox, a past and a future that once the prophecy is fulfilled will merge and a new order will rise from the ashes of the old like a Phoenix....Enter The Corps! vs Curse storyline. The Marauders had at this point became a group of extremists that had committed countless war crimes in most of the civilized world, The Marauders had become the very evil that they were originally formed to stop, The Corps! were the only team who could take on this new Global Threat. It was in the final days of the Marauders war that Rucker appointed Rain as second in command. The Final Battle was a costly one, with casualties on both sides, but the Marauders were defeated, their leaders captured or eliminated. The Corps! Victory was short lived, as the leader of the latest incarnation of the Marauders Ravage vowed that revenge would be his. Shadow of Covert Command was injured in the final Marauders confrontation by the Marauders chief bio weapons operative Simon Crill -A.K.A Plague. The Corps battle with the Marauders was over, there was something about the battle that didn't sit well with Shadow, who had witnessed Simon's nano infused strength first hand. Shadow knew the battle wasn't over. It was a ruse, but it wouldn't be discovered till much later. Shadow began experimenting on himself, first to regain his strength, but using the Marauders nanotechnology it changed him into a warped version of its architect - Now Shadow has become Plague! Unable to resist the Dark Heart Nano-tech Shadow - now as Plague attacked those he once called allies, and injured several as he tore through the Corps! command center, stealing blueprints and data to build his own army! The Battle was over, and The War began anew! Plague began to Attack and vanish with a cold precision, destroying and infecting strategic locations who wouldn't submit to his will, building up his new forces. The Corps! sent in their best agents only to see them fall under this Curse army. In the months that followed Shinobi Squad was sent undercover to locate this New Plague and his Nano infused army known as The CURSE. It's a fight that the Corps! cannot afford to lose, The Battlefield Advances! Previously the Corps! located the top-secret Headquarters of the Curse Tech Lab. Assembling their team of elite soldiers, The Corps! infiltrate the base to defeat the Curse once and for all and stop their plans for WORLD DOMINATION. The Curse, nearly DEFEATED, power up their nano-infused Dark Heart Replicator for one last battle against the Corps! Creating dozens of clone soldiers The Curse FIGHT BACK! Until a SABOTAGED Replicator causes a major explosion, generating ripples of energy so powerful it creates a SINGULARITY event in time and space. Resulting in multiple time breaches within our universe and sending the fighting factions sliding thru tunnels to various battles in TIME. Thrust throughout separate ages of time, forces unite and recruit new members fighting the future through the past and beyond in the Time Crisis. Enter TIME CRISIS.... The Future and Past Timelines have combined, Creating an all New-All Different Present. For more info on all CORPS!
