Mygal

Criminal

Filename: Mygal, Felix

Birthplace: Marseille, France

Felix Mygal is a perennial entry on Interpol's most wanted lists having committed seemingly every crime in the books and having spent as much time in jail as he has free. Left to his own devices, Mygal is content with mid-level theft and smuggling. Lately however, Mygal has been renting his skills to other criminals, happy to do just about anything if the money is right and he doesn't have to do the planning. Over the years and prison stints, Mygal has recruited a gang of likeminded men, none of whom should be underestimated.



Excerpt from interview with Interpol Inspector David Ruffin: Hate. Pure hate. People always say, "What could make you feel this way?" Mygal. The answer is always Mygal. It's not that he commits crimes. He's hardly the only one, and he gets caught often enough anyway. It's the escapes. Roadblocks, handcuffs, paddy wagons, prisons, he just keeps getting out. He escaped from one prison by making a duplicate of a key using a block of cheese, and another by threatening guards with a "grenade" that was just a tangerine painted black. I don't think the man's ever served out a full sentence. Infuriating.

Mygal is, I presume the primary nemesis of European Force, a line of toys made from duplicated or borrowed G.I. Joe molds and sold primarily in France. I say presumed since there are no filecards on the packaging and no other media to establish these characters. Just a cardback showing that there's way fewer guys under the "Mygal" category, standard for villains in toylines. Plus they look pretty villainous. Mygal is my favorite of the group, because the original ARAH Buzzer head just has so much character. It gave me a lot to work with here, and made me realize that some styrene rod I had laying around is perfect for Joe scale cigarettes.
