This is my design for The Red Shadow's Red Jackal. Many of the RS characters are perfect as is, but I wanted to take this one back to the drawing board. In the Battle Action Force comics, Red Jackal became Destro at the same time Baron Ironblood became Cobra Commander. But I prefer Destro not being Red Jackal and Cobra Commander not being Baron Ironblood.

Oreo Builder's current Red Jackal look nails the original look perfectly, so I don't even see the need to try. Instead, I'm focusing on what Nobokov might look like as a getaway/assault driver like, while keeping the red shirt under a black jacket look. A design that strips Nobokov out of a Destro helmet/uniform is the smartest approach to get the look I'm after.

The character is supposed have a bionic head and bionic hands following an accident. Why does "bionic" have to equal "silver"? Maybe the head and hands don't look quite human anymore following surgery. The skin is synthetic pulled over the cyborg bits. Somewhere between the foamy skin of Kryton (from Red Dwarf) and the convincing skin of a T-800. The eyes will be silver.

Does the uniform need some more pops of silver?

Your thoughts, please...

So this coat when Avacs stocks it, any rebel/alliance pilot jacket, and some Dollar General CC legs? And I agree, going more Terminator with the skin makes sense for an update.

I like it. And I think you should see it through to figure form

I'm sold, maybe light gray or "silver" hair to tie in little more to the original metal.

Thanks, guys.

It's now on my "get to it" list, which is about 50 figures long.

Silver hair is a perfect idea, and one that weaves more silver into the design. But I wouldn't have even thought of it. Good call, DOTD!
