I agree about the names, but the customs and concept are great. Fire Breathe needs handcuffs attached to the case.

These look spectacular! This is the look the character should have had if updated,instead of being a Ninja clone.And Dr.Bindy had my exact same thoughts about Jack Burton.Your going to have to get a Russell head sculpt and make that happen.

Thanks, guys.

The handcuffs on the case is a great idea, pluv. I'm totally doing that.

On the names for these guys, would the Japanese translations work?

If not, I'm officially opening up the thread to a "name those characters" contest.

There's nothing wrong with these names in the way that Japanese really love to come up with English or at least English-sounding names.

The place where it doesn't work is with the names themselves. Leather Wing, Fire Breath... those are words associated with occidental dragons. Japanese dragons are wingless with long serpent bodies, and most commonly associated with water rather than fire.

Fantastic. I too am not a huge fan on the Ninja in the my JoeVerse, but a Japanese crime syndicate is perfect. I love this idea, and I had no idea that there were these many Japanese looking heads available. Well thought out and superbly executed!!!!
