Here is another of my recent works. Code Name: Showbiz

Bio: Showbiz is one of the Joe Teams best kept secrets: a Hollywood movie star by day, covert ops agent by night! And the best part about this is that he is Cobra Commander's favorite action movie star, so has been invited to Cobra Island numerous times as a guest of the Commander.

As an actor, Showbiz is one who does his own stunts, including his martial arts fight scenes. The ironic part is that he gets much of his MA training from Snake-Eyes himself, and Cobra Commander doesn't have a clue about his affiliation with the Joe Team's ninja (although Storm Shadow has had his suspicions about where he got his training after watching him in a few of his movies).

Showbiz keeps his cover with wise cracks and antics that make him an unlikely threat. That being said, he is not one to be messed with none the less, as Snake-Eyes has said (in written report form) that he is an apt pupil in all forms of fighting styles.

Parts used:
Torso: DoCI Lamprey
Arms: 25th 5-pack Storm Shadow
Legs: RoC Snake-Eyes
Head: GL Hal Jordan (pilot)
Belt, harness, sheaths and swords: CS Snake-Eyes

Excellent use of the Ryan Reynolds head sculpt. I like everything about this figure and character. Well done.

I think you just made Movie Deadpool from the Wolverine Origins movie.

Nice tight paint apps, very cool work.

Deadpool? is that you? Seriously though, you made that head look really good cause the original paint application on that thing is terrible! Wish the Green lantern figs were as good as this.

give him a beard and you also just made Hannibal King from Blade Trinity (which is what I'll probably make with mine). nice job all around. Looks production. Also, it looks the part for how you wrote him up.

I like that. I agree about how well the repaint of that head came out. I also like the way you snuck him in to the Joe universe with the back story.

Thanks for the comments, they are much appreciated. And yeah, the Mattel GL/Hal Jordan head sculpt isn't bad at all, it just needed some... color!
