My first Eagle Force-to-Joe convert figure.
I kept it very simple and clean.
What affiliation do you think works best for the character? Cobra? The Coil?

One of Colonel Sharif's officers that survived the various purges in that middle eastern country, or the son of an Officer from that country that was killed by Rock 'n Roll or Snake-Eyes during the 'Hot Potato' story from the early Marvel run... |

I think I had/have the original figure! I always enjoy seeing Eagle Force stuff. I'd say go with Night Creepers or Black Dragons for his group affiliation. |

Truly a "shinebox" moment for me (see Goodfellas), as I haven't thought about Eagle Force in decades. But this is a great rendition of an underappreciated character. |

You could have went with a pruprle Storm shadow or Snake Eyes in training and been fine but using that head makes it more interesting for sure. I like the speckled paint too. |

Thanks, all. LM80, good call. Savitar will be a Black Dragon team member. It's an obvious choice, but never would have occurred to me. As far as how he got to be a Black Dragon, DJ's concepts work perfectly. Thanks, guys! Now I'm starting to think about ways to make Eagle Force characters without putting them in metallic gold uniforms... |

Now I'm starting to think about ways to make Eagle Force characters without putting them in metallic gold uniforms... Nice custom and nice head choice for sure. If you can pull off Eagle Force without the gold, I'm eager to see it. Maybe a certain shade of khaki uniform, with just the right amount of gold accents? Or something entirely new? I agree that the gold uniforms would not result in action figures in this scale that you'd want to do much with. |

Yeah, gold is too much at the 1:18th scale. I'm dummying up some patterns that would have a gold hint or "feel" them, like this:

I want to do a big team of Black Dragons and you've inspired me to add Savitar to the list. I was thinking about how one one might translate Eagle Force members. I think a golden brown desert shade would be cool. |
