That's one of the more interesting things I've seen in awhile. Can't wait to hear more about the concept and identities of the figures shown

Memo to Gen.J.Colton -F.Y.E.O.:
Sending dossiers for each sub team that make up the Commandos. As you can see the choices that were made will ensure that England's interest as well as America's will be protected here & abroad. Once you have reviewed the dossiers, please download & encrypt in the usual manner. 1st team : the Field Commandos - the ground assault team. Sent in to eliminate any threat to Queen & country that may arise.
Image
L1 (OO1)J.B.J. - 1st Commando : All Field Commandos report to him. Hand picked each member of the commandos based on what they bring to the table. Cold, cruel, ruthless & calculating . Like father, like son no truer words have been spoken.
Image
Image
Image
Image
B12(OO12) - 2nd Commando : Benjamin O'Malley -The brain & the muscle of the group. Smart, savvy & strong , won't wilt under pressure. The harder it gets , the stronger he gets mentally & physically. The thinking man's strong man.
Image
Image
Image
Image
EZ (00Z) - Eric Stone : Man of Mystery wants to be in like his father. Loves fine wine, fine women & a fine time. Don't let the playboy image fool you, will cut your heart literally while making reservations for dinner at the Four Seasons.
Image
Image
Image
Image
T.V. (005) - Tecah : Closest thing to an Ninja that the Commandos have. Silent, deadly & elusive. Only seen when she wants to be seen, but when you see him prepare to die! Actually has a very dry wit. Excellent with all the silent weapons - knifes, swords & poison.

Very cool concept.
I like your interpretation of James Bond Jr. Much better than that mullet sporting kid we got on TV.
Stone's head sculpt reminds me of some of the Action Man figures of the 90's.

Introducing the 2nd team : the Stealth Commandos - this group's job is to get in & get out of any situation without being notice. It doesn't matter what mess they leave, the field commandos usually clean up the damage.
Image
T.0 (000) Sir J.B. - Director / Stealth Field leader : Master Spy, none better . Kicked up stairs to run MI -7, but refused to stay seated. Feels better out where the action is, leaves the day to day running of the business to Lady P (which she hates). Quote : You only live twice & the 1st time doesn't count.
Image
Image
Image
Image
C02(002) Ian Leither - 2nd Stealth Leader : Tactical field - best when the chips are down & all odds seem against the team. Proud of the fact that there has never been any life lost on his watch. Only as the quote from the Bible goes : Pride goes before the fall. When it happens,he will fall hard.
Image
Image
Image
Image
J3 (003) Jonathan Williams - Computer genius - I.Q.225. Also excellent marksman & of course, ladies man. More like his father than his brother in this regard. One agent you don't want to leave home without.
Image
Image
Image
Image
H8 (008) Lord Nigel Henderson - Snobbish nobleman whose father pulled strings to get him on the squad. Has always been about self even when helping someone else. Excellent small arms marksman. Still an elitist, but will sacrifice himself for the team.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Next up : The Specialist Team. Again all comments are welcome.

I feel like this would be a great place to have Soap McTavish and John Price

Next team on the docket : The Specialists - They are not really a team , but a group of individuals who special skills help to augment / compliment the "00". This group whole or separate is maybe more dangerous the both teams of Commandos.
Image
1st up - Rebecca Moneypenny : 007 - Born into tradecraft, raised by her mother not to except anything less than the best in whatever she does. Excelled in all phases of the spy game until she earned not just 00 status but the highest 00 status that one could earn :007! Deadly as she is beautiful, expert in infiltrating enemy organizations. "Dirty" fighting expert as well as a expert sniper. Quote : Mother would be so proud & let's just say Father is .
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
P4 (004) - Percival "Percy" Smythe - Air-support / Transportation : Fancy name hides the fact that there is nothing fancy about him. He a "grease monkey" thru & thru -can drive,fly, fix or build anything with or without wheels. If they can build it, he can wheel it. At home when sipping tea in a garage or swilling beer in some uptown bar. Excellent hand to hand combatant & pretty good with a .45 too.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Dylan (no number) - Demolitions / Urban / Jungle Warfare Expert : Requested by Sir J.B. & sent over by Gen. Colton to help train the 00 Commandos in all types of warfare. After so many years of travel, finally found a home in England & decided to stay( some think Lady P has something to do with this). His knowledge of explosives is only rivaled by Firefly.
Image
Image
Image
Image
Smoke - Identity known only to Lady P : Manhunter / Assassin - When MI -7 needs to fine / eliminate someone quickly , Smoke is the man for the job. Everything else about him is classified. Quote: Hard to catch, hard to hold.....like SMOKE!
Image
Image
Image
Image
Coming soon : The Staff

"Critique" would be the wrong term; "adoring praise" is more appropriate. I love everything you've done with these customs: the color scheme, the paint, the character designs, the consistency of the overall look...the whole thing is fantastic. The concept is really cool, too, and incorporates a bunch of interesting elements. It definitely encapsulates what made the first year or two of the Joe line so great. I really can't say enough good things about these figures: they're production-quality, except that it's hard to imagine a present-day toy company releasing anything this ambitious. Outstanding work, and I'll be looking forward to the rest of the individual shots.

Oh, and what head did you use for Dylan? That's an excellent Carl Weathers likeness!
