Many thanks
. It's been a while without posting here, so I redress it with a few here
Thunder Ninja; canonic character, yes
. Browsing boredly through YoJoe, I stumbled upon the Micro force figures, and a design struck me as fresh, new, and basically, never seen before, Thunder Ninja. Tried to get more info about him but couldn't, I don't know if he appears on comics, but couldn't find anything. I thought it would be cool to make it into a ARAH figure. You can check his micro force figure here;
https://www.yojoe.com/micro-force/13/thunderninja.shtml Torinoko. A concept I've come up myself, considering what might have happened if GI JOe had continued in 1995. Coming from the Ninja fever of the nineties, more Ninjas were tremendously possible, and so I went a bit for colours like Budo unreleased, with a gimmick like chrome hand, and a bit of textile like Tjbang, etc. He is an outcast ninja, dishonoured by a previous deed, who roams having sworn revenge to all other ninja clans.
Mariner; googling I found a image of possible, but unproduced comic book character that were considered for the GI Joe vs Cobra run. One of them, Mariner, struck me as one of the more interesting of the lot, and wanting another new Joe, I thought he was a good choice
to enlarge my GI Joe vs Cobra collection.
And to finish, a custom I did on commission, not for my own collection. Dusty Hayes from MASK; in GI Joe 25th style. Good thing is that I casted the helmet, so someday I'll be able to do my own vintage version
. Cobra commander was just the best base body out there, didn't even have to paint much of him.
