I've been a fan of Black Major's figs since he started and Red Laser's sets too.
Recently been wondering about what I would do if I had the money/juevos to make my own set of them.
I think these are the ones I would do in my first batch. Figures first with accessories in the second pic.

Figures First off I would use the VvV Scarlett. I would release her in color schemes related to various releases of the original Scarlett mold ala Quarrel, Glenda, Athena, Ninja Force Scarlett, Stars & Stripes Scarlett, etc. Plus I would also do a Blonde in Cobra blue, a red one (either for Red Shadows or Crimson Guard), and a one based on Dr Knox's look in DDP's GI Joe 41.
Secondly is VvV Bombstrike. I would release her in her base color scheme. Other schemes would be one based on GI Jane, a Renegades Lady Jaye inspired one, one based on IDW Dial-Tone's two tone green uniform with dirty blonde hair, a Cobra blue with black hair, one based on the Range Viper color scheme, and one based on DIC's Range Viper Evy.
Thirdly would be Wild Weasel v1. I would keep the gloss black paint apps and white maps across every repaint. Color schemes would be v1, Invert the red and blue for one, a black suit w/red helmet & brown scarf based on v3, a steel grey version based on be, and one with a color scheme based on Dogfight with blue pants/brown jacket/white scarf and Thunder head/head gear.
Fourth would be Iceberg v2. I would set it so the yellow parts on the original one would instead be colored the same as the secondary color of the boots. So the first would keep the original just with the green from the boots replacing the yellow. Other color schemes would be tan as the primary color with brown as the secondary color, one in a black/dark red, a blue/black one, a Tiger Force color scheme based on TF Frostbite, and a red/black one (again for either Red Shadows or CG).
The fifth and final one would be Beachhead v2. Unless mentioned most of the black parts stay black. First scheme I would do is the original, next would be a color scheme based on Beachhead v1, a TF Beachhead inspired one, one based on Surefire vs, a blue uniform one, a red uniform one, and a Tele-Viper inspire one.
AccessoriesAs for their accessories I would mostly keep the guns/knives/Beachhead backpack either black or gunmetal grey. Iceberg 's white and tan sets would have equipment that matches. Any alternate heads would be done up to match the uniform of the body they come with. I tried to keep it between 4-6 pieces of equipment (not including alt heads/helmets).

For Scarlett I went with the original Scarlett crossbow, VvV's quiver, Wild Bill v5's pistol, Snake Eyes v1's uzi, and VvV Alley Viper II's machine pistol/head (with a neck modied to fit the figure).
For Bombstrike I went with her machine gun & pistol, Crocmaster v2's machete, Recondo v3's rifle, and Range Viper v2's helmet/head (neck modded if needed).
For Wild Weasel I went with Snake Eyes v1's uzi, Alley Viper II's machine pistol, Wild Weasel v4's backpack, Snake Eyes v3's uzi, and Wild Bill v5's pistol.
For Iceberg v2 I went with his uzi, pistol, knif, snowboard, and Recondo v3's rifle.
For Beachhead v2 I went with v1's rifle/backpack, Recoil's machine pistol, Crosshair's rifle, Alley Viper II's machine pistol, and Wild Bill v5's pistol.
Now these are my "What If I could pull a Black Major" set. Are there any you would do?
