Post subject:  Rise of Cobra Quarrel
With a G.I.Joe team that's composed of soldiers from all over the world, it'd be silly not to bring in some Action Force members into it.

Here's my first one, Quarrel. Originally I wanted to make her out of Agent Helix, but since City Strike Scarlett is maybe-cancelled I might need that for Jinx, so I went with a half-price Reactive Armor Scarlett body for her. The armor lent itself much more nicely to Quarrel's color scheme, to boot.
The head is from the "Starkiller Hero" figure, the accessories are from bluecamo Scarlett and the pistol in her belt is from a random Joe.

Thanks for looking!

Looks good! It's amazing how just a little bit of color makes those reactive armor figures look so much better.

Awesome!

ROC International take on the Joe team seems like a great chance to incorporate some of the foreign figures, I love the way Quarrel came out.

The color does add a lot to the custom, I am more impressed by the fact that it is a Quarrel custom that doesn't look like Scarlett at all IMO.

Cool!
Really feels like an original character instead of a repaint Scarlet like the original did.

Squeee!!!! :wow:

I really like that. Probably the best Quarrel custom I have seen. I agree with Stormavik. What makes it so special is that it looks nothing like Scarlett. I may have to borrow that recipe.

I dig it. I really like how a simple color addition can really change a mold. Nice work here.

Like Stormavik, I'm a fan of switching the look up so that it doesn't look like Scarlett. Good stuff!

Wowiee. Thanks for all the kind comments, guys. (I can't believe I got someone to Squee over a custom. I feel so accomplished now!)

Glad people are appreciating the distinction between Quarrel and Scarlett. Right off the bat, I wanted to do just like Glenda and give her a distinctive head. Getting a Starkiller Hero head was a pain but it was worth it.

I love simple stuff like this where good head choice and clever use of paint changes a boring figure into something useful and unique.

This makes me want to do more Action Force members. I'm stealing you're idea for the body. :)
