Post subject:  Chat Custom #2 Maj. Altitude and Undertow
Since we went with the Jungle Theme, I decided to go to a Vietnam backstory.

Maj. Altitude was a Huey pilot back in Nam, and was rescuing his unit from a villiage when a young Undertow begged him to take his family. Altitude knew he only had enough fuel to cary his team members to safety but promised to return for the family. Unfortunately when he landed at the closest base he had immediate orders to get on the next plane home, and never returned for Undertow and his family.

Undertow thought the american had lied to him about coming back and vowed to someday exact his revenge on him, and eventually ended up joining Cobra to meet those ends.

Altitude is really nice- looks production, but Undertow steals the show for me. I love the originality.

John's always stealing the way I want to say something and he's absolutely right. Great looking figures and now my favorites of your customs.


Undertows tag line should be " Did the jungle breath?"
If your a comic geek you'll get it.

love major altitude, that's what i think Ace should like, just with a jet pilots helmet, and with the Snowjob holster, because i am an AT nutjob

I think I'd like Undertow a bit more with knees, other then that he looks good, Though I would like a bit more connection with the diver aspect of undertow, maybe deck him out like a Vietnam era sapper, goggles and a scuba tank with a satchel charge.

I like the story alot though so many allies were left behind when we pulled out of there, it could be a prime breeding ground for a group like cobra to recruit from.

The major altitude is so cool and beliavable. good work on that one.
Undertow is surprising, but I really like the dirty look you gave him. Looks like he has been in the jungle a night or two.

Maj. Altitutde works. It is even better for not resembling the original at all.

Undertow I like but not even as a reimagined undertow. I would have found a way to tie him with the water. Maybe more of a a fisherman look. complete with net or something. With that said the figure itself is pretty sick looking. I hope we see stuff like this from you for the group diorama.
