I like these. The parts fit together well and the torso add on is neatly hidden. I like the use of those hands on the WWE arms. They look great, especially on Nightwatch. The Viper head on Greenshirt looks a little too familiar to be anything but a Viper to me. The figure looks cool, but it looks like a Viper. The Nightwatch figure might be my favorite. The vest fits really well and really makes the figure stand out.

I can't take my eyes off the Greenshirt. It's awesome!

My first thought was you had made one of the Guardsman from the Vault in the Marvel Universe, the ones wearing the Iron Man tech armor.

I like the paint apps and the recipe. Just cool.

In fact I could think of a few ideas that could be done using that as a base figure.

I could totally see one as a more field active Steel Brigade trooper.

I could also see Super Trooper or Rapid Fire.

Adding some blue around the edges of the helmet to make an actual Guardsman as mentioned above.

Also, given the helmet choice, possibly either a jungle based Cobra Viper or have him as crewmen manning the various Cobra Navy vessels.

Thanks! Of the 3 that is also the one I like the most. In normal light it looks better than the photo due to shadowing and the faceplate seems to have a slight shine to it.

I really like the look of these guys. Greenshirt really impresses me. A very cool look. Great combo of parts and apps. Has a cool futuristic military look. Nightwatch is neat to. Kinda reminds me of that comic Authority. Looks badass man. For some reason I can picture him being very gritty and violent. Great job with the serpentor head repaint. The jacket works very nice. Breach is cool too. color and parts choices are good. Great group of customs you've got here.

Breach steals the show. Greenshirt and Nightwatch have a superhero vibe to them, so they don't quite register with me as much as Breach- but the workmanship is good as always.

All of these look great. Nightwatch reminds me of The Midnighter from Wildstorm/DC comics The Authority . And could easily be modified to that character. The Greenshirt is excellent and would fit in well with Slaughter and his band of misfits. As for Breach I would add some gloss black to his armor and add scratches with silver.Just to rough him up a little.

I got a Midnighter feel from Nightwatch as well. I thought with the name you were trying to pay homage to him as well.

Breach is good. I like the parts combination on him.

The Greenshirt just doesnt' scream Greenshirt to me. And in GI Joe Greenshirt takes on a different meaning. So for an individual to be named Greenshirt I'm just not sure it works. You'd almost be better off going with a 82 styled helmet with a painted visor and mask so you couldn't make out the face.

That Greenshirt figure is 10 flavors of awesome Will. Id buy multiples of that figure if it were in stores. It would fit in perfectly in a multitude of "universes".

Awesome work there (and all around). Excellent looking figure!
