Glad y'all like 'em. I've never seen seen Corps customs like these, I wanted to see if the character designs that Lanard came up with could be salvaged and made into respectable figures. And I'm pretty damn happy with the results. There's more of them planned.

Yeah, these are awesome. They feel like GI Joe but not. I think it's that they're all such fresh characters with interesting designs that make them feel so different.

I wish Joe would take this approach with the current stuff. Find new characters to create using the large amount of molds they have. Don't get me wrong I love the classic figures redone in 30th style, but what you've done here is what I'd like to see Hasbro do. Great job!

THIS! (As soon as I saw Bengala and Willie, Who share my favorites for the group I knew someone had to ask about this.)

Also to go with his French Canadian-ness (Hattrick: hockey and his face looks like that of the stereotypical lumber jack, in 90s zubaz and roller blades) Have the Trafficin' African - Lightning Mubuto!

Nice job transitioning the Corps! figures from lame to insane... -ly cool! The parts work, and they all look the part of the figure/character they are replacing.

Awesome work man especially when matching paint application. Now where's Fox?

Great work man. Looks like you're gonna have to keep building. These I would buy in stores.

Dude; you took them from the 0.99c end cap to the $7.99 row with their own display, the only critique is they are missing the TOP Secret scroll... ") Awesome work!!

I'm trying so hard not to add The Corps! to my own 'to-do' list after seeing these guys. What a fun and well translated set of figures. You kept what was best about each design and made them into something modern and cool looking. Inspired and inspiring work.

I should make my additional Corps character plans a higher priority I think...

You captured the feel, and improved the appearance, of every character. Nice work!

Now that's just plain impressive.

I appreciate your faithfulness to the original designs on most of them, but the ones that really stand out to me are where you made substantial deviations and totally improved the character concept (mohawk bad guy is a great example).

It's also a great example of a name I'm extremely surprised Lanard hasn't used. Mohawk Badguy needs to be a villain somewhere.

Anyway, I'll echo everyone else and say that these are impressive. My only real critiques are the paint on Ice's head, and I think Spade's eyepatch would look better sculpted on rather than as separate pieces. Still, I love these, and now you're making me want to try my hand at them too. If only I could figure out a good reason for yet another Joe-like team in my verse . . .

Hypno I use them as a private security company that is slightly less amoral that the rest, They try to work exclusivly with Govt agency like GI Joe, Special Action Force, The Oktober Guard and AU's Bronze Bombers... Eagle Force is where I run into trouble..
