So thanks to drbindy, I got my hands on the Renegades Duke & CC I wanted on Saturday.
I had a rough idea of what I wanted to do with these figures when I first saw them previewed, but in hand they offer up even greater possibilities.
First up is my reinterpretation of Cesspool:

I wanted my Cesspool to look more like a former CEO than a gaudy supervillain. In my 'verse, he's the former head of an Umbrella Corp. subsidiary whose company eneded up being the proving ground for an early version of the T-Virus. He barely survived the resultant mini-zombie apocalypse...and at great physical cost.
When he sought compensation and justice from Umbrella, the U.S. legal system stonewalled him. So he turned to a less conventional partner in seeking his revenge against corporate America -- Cobra.
Now he works with Mindbender, engineering bio-weaponry and serving as the de-facto commander of the Toxo-Viper corps. The only things he hates more than corporations now are zombies. And he had his chainsaw-bladed sword specially created to help him take out his aggressions on both.
Of course, If I'm going to have a Resident Evil tie-in, there's bound to be guest apperances by familiar characters:

Leon's still a WIP, but I'm going for something closer to his RE2 appearance here, so I don't know if I have a long way to go before he's good.

Chris is also pretty close to done, but that head has to go (specifically to my not-yet-started Wesker custom). I'm very open to suggestions on a head that's closer to Chris' look in RE5.
Thoughts?
