Law and Order - Like a lot of folks, I'm redoing all the guys from the TRU pack. I have the others parted out, but Law's done, barring suggestions. I went with the 2000 look for inspiration.

Image

Barrel Roll - This one was a bit harder than it looks. I thought I messed up drilling the neck hole because the head was crooked, which I tried to fix for far too long, before realizing the neck peg itself seems crooked. I also had trouble matching the skin tone, but I think I got it pretty close.

Image

Image

Speed Metal - I like the codename, didn't care much for the figure, so I came up with something that I think better reflects the moniker.

Image

Blue Streak - With Air Raid turned into Barrel Roll, I needed a pilot for the Sky Sweeper. I think this figure is kinda goofy but striking. My first draft was a version without the air hose, and you could see the lower part of Para Viper's head, but I thought a jet pilot needed more substantial headgear. Might paint a few more details on him before I submit to the gallery.

Now a couple Cobras...

Swamp Viper - I did this one a while ago now, and intended to make a second one but never got around to it. I carved up Mutt's mask for the little mouthpiece.

Image

Commander Remora - I liked the head that came with this guy but it looks more like a Joe. This one WAS as easy as it looks.

I really like all of these and will likely borrow your vest idea for Law.

Blue Streak I may outright steal. That's just a great use of an otherwise redundant figure.

Law is my favorite. That head is perfect for him and the helmet helps sort of disguise it. Very simple and clean look to him but easily recognizable.

Barrel Roll is a good translation but I'm not sure that baby face works in the RoC universe. Personal preference thing I guess.

Speed Metal, IK like the direction you took but sadly all I can think of is James Lipton in a wig. Again, personal preference thing. :shifty:

I really like the Swamp Vipers mask modification.

The joes are great.Law is perfect, barrel roll I want that figure but not the jet, SM is so much better than what we got, and bluestreak is good to take over the jet...well done

Speed Metal is still a Joe, an 'Urban Operations Specialist.' I figure once you get that high up the special forces ladder, you can do what you like with your hair. :)

I see what you mean about the baby face, but ROC only exists to me insofar as I can meld it with my existing verse, if I have such a thing, which is based off of the old figures and continuity.

'James Lipton in a wig.' :shifty: You're not wrong.

These all rock dude. Have to agree with the others on Law really shining here. And Speedmetal made me do a double take, lol. It's a cool look - but he must spend hours conditioning his hair.
