I like these. They look like they'd fit right in with the RoC universe. I'd add some detail paint and a little color to Terabyte's wrist communicator.

What is Mr. Green's Specailty? Infantry? Lasers?

Thanks for the comments guys.

I see him as Infantry, with light armor to protect him because he is on the front lines in battles. Plus, with the gauntlets and shin guards, he has extra protection against sword attacks, with each being able to deflect the slicing motion.

Both of these are really neat. Mr. Green has a cool Colonial Marine feel to him.

Excellent work on both -- love the way the parts come together - especially on Terabyte (might be borrowing that idea ;) ) - Flippin awesome on the camo.

And I'm very surprised that the Alex head works so well on Green - the DCIH heads are always so small on Joes - but it looks fine here. Did you mod the hair on it at all?

No modding done on the sculpt, other than the paint job. It worked out well because it not only fit the body, but both the hat and helmet fit it just right.

Thanks to everyone who has commented on these figures.

Someone on one of the other boards thought it would be Michael McKean from the movie "Clue"...

Tb reminds me alot of Levar Burton

really like Mr. Green, more than a green shirt, maybe he'll make a name for himself the way the g1 dinobot Slag made his name a universal cuss word

*slap* "... I had to stop her screaming." :shifty:
"I didn't do it!"
"I told you I didn't do it."
