Your marauders are some of my favorite you've made! Slaughter and outback especially.

Rampage was tasked with assembling a team to investigate reports of anomalies on a series of islands on the Pacific coast of Central America. Dubbed The Dino Hunters, they had no idea how true that name would be.



Link was a definite pick with his veterinarian background.



Dart was chosen for his survival training and scouting abilities.



Hollowpoint is a mechanical genius and handy with a weapon.



And it never hurts to have a great marksman in the unknown wildnerness. Crosshair was the perfect fit.




I believe this was my last major newsculpt project. I wanted to give them a purpose and a cohesive look that I based on the Marauders original color scheme.

As always, it makes me grin to see someone working in NS format. Fantastic on all of the them. Link's intentionally short t-shirt is kinda creepy, though.

I won't disagree, it's not my personal fashion style. I was going for the gym rat look since his original look seemed to be workout clothes with a military flair.

Finishing up my Sgt. Slaughter trifecta, The Renegades.

The Renegades are the last chance for bad guys seeking redemption. Some are presented with the option as an invitation, and some make the plea after capture. Duke brings each recruits case to his team of advisors. Stalker, Scarlett, Slaughter, and Hawk. The five must agree unanimously. Once the recruit is agreed upon, they are sent to The Slaughterhouse in the Rocky Mountains. There, they go through brutal training. Most wish they had chosen prison or the grave.

Mercer and Red Dog are in charge of The Slaughterhouse. They are joined by Nomad and Freight in the recruits' reformation. Looking at these now, I really would like to update these in modern style customs.



Clint Stacey led his tank crew in an attempt to steal Trucial Abysmian gold. His escape plan utilized Zanzibar for the airlift. His plan failed, but he was then in debt to the Dreadnoks. GI Joe was able to rescue them from their forced servitude, but they faced court martial and treason charges. Duke countered with the new Renegades program, offering to take Stacey's place in the court martial if Stacey's Heroes didn't abide by new orders.

Left to Right,
Oz, Stacey, Mo, Oddball, and Bookie.



Ghost Bear was recruited and used by Cobra. Told that Snake Eyes was responsible for his father Kwinn's death, Ghost Bear was only after revenge. After finally learning the truth, he surrendered to Snake Eyes. He asked to be assigned to the Renegades where he has built his Pulverizer Mk II.



Walker, Shy, and Ragnar were members of The Phoenix Guard and were imprisoned after the failed attack on Springfield. Walker is the marksman, Shy is the communications expert. I just really liked both of those figures, so I renamed them. Ragnar is a simple headswap of a Volstagg figure onto a Terra-Viper.



Stiletto was a cool figure but she didn't work as a bad guy for me. Her colors remind me of the Marauders so I put her with this group until I figure the character out.

Cobra Commander escaped Springfield when it was invaded, leaving his son to take the fall. His Crimson Guard whisked him to the safety of the alliance he had been working on behind the scenes. The Red Shadows would now reign over the world.

Head of security Jackal, and his daughter, Chameleon.



The Red Shadows were born in England with Baron Ironblood.Iron blood. Wilder Vaughn is the man under the hood. Red Jackal is Arthur Kulik and Dela Eden operated as Skeletron.



Le Commandant was rescued from prison by Black Major and Dela Eden. In turn he has recruited across France the likes of Wraith and Sourit.



The Estrela family allied years ago with Headman and his Headhunter organization. Now that South American supergroup has extended their reach with The Red Shadows.

Cobra Commander reached out to the tribal leaders of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Several of the leaders have agreed to lead support to The Red Shadows. Bosi Komanda is the group's spokesman.



Der Rote Schadel represents Germany. He took the injured Lady Jaye from Ironblood and proved his intense brainwashing methods. She has no memories of her past life and speaks fluent German. Konig Midas leads the German troops.



Krasny Molott came from Russia with his bodyguard Zangief.





The Mandarin claims to represent China but seems to be a man alone.

More solid works. Great use of NS mixed with 25A. Really adds range to the designs.

Lots of cool tweaks and customs to incorporate the wider world of Joe into your 'verse. Is Krasny Molott based on an existing character? I like the use of the non-English names from characters based in other countries. It's a neat way to differentiate "Der Rote Schadel" from the Red Skull for your verse... it's a nice touch.

Thanks, I really miss sculpting on those newsculpt parts to make them more aesthetically pleasing. I used to do it in my downtime at work but now I have a busier job. I miss deconstructing the figures for painting as well.



Google Translate is so handy for this. I just typed in commander and switched languages to come up with the various names, except for Der Rote Schadel of course.

Krasny Molott, Commander Hammer, is an original character that started with the Iron Man lower legs and Destro thighs. I had pieced them together to update my El Mecánico Torero, The Mechanical Bullfighter. Once again never got around to it and used the legs here.

I'm not sure but I don't remember The Oktober Guard having a dedicated enemy. If the OG ended up with GI Joe after the fall of the Soviet Union, what happened to the bad guys? Molott uses Legs from Iron Man and Movie Destro, torso from comic pack pilot Destro, the head is Croc Master/Terra Viper with a sculpted hat, GvC Mindbender right hand, Spytroops Shipwreck cape, Ready Player One skirt, and various bits from Chap Mei. I've never been totally pleased with the outcome but not motivated enough to redo it.
