New custom, new character...

Mini-Bio: It is reported that Head Shot was once the victim of an assassin's bullet, but when he didn't die, he took out the assassin. However, as he healed from the wound, those around him noticed a change in his personality; the man he had been slowly disappeared, and in his place was one who longed for thrills that were induced by his bloodlust. As he began hiring himself out as a soldier for hire, he took on the moniker Head Shot, not because he had been shot in the head himself, but because that is where he began shooting others, to finish them off.

Since aligning himself with Cobra, Head Shot has proven to be a brutal, unmerciful member of the organization. The only problem is, that he has as much trouble getting along with his new teamates as he does his enemies! Cobra Commander keeps Head Shot around because he gets results; that being said, he also has put his troops on alert, telling them to stay clear of Head Shot, for their own protection.

Next up, Iron Klaw. Didn't think much of the Collector's Club subscription figure, so made one with a head sculpt I got from an awesome dude (StarWarsGeek). LMK what you think...

Last up, Lady-Jaye. Had this awesome sculpt for a while, I got it from a Trigate when they were still around, but I cannot remember who actually sculpted it... Anyway, I present to you: Lady-Jaye!

Paints look great. Never would've thought to use the SKAR Soldier head for Iron Klaw, but it works very well. Lady Jaye is really nice too. A great modern update with a ridiculous camo job.

I wasn't sure who the head was supposed to represent, but it reminded me of Iron Klaw, so I used it... I guess it makes sense that his minions would have a similar look, too. Thanks for educating me, as I am not a huge fan of the 'Extreme' Joe-verse.

It is the new Retaliation Firefly's torso... Loved the detail they put into it, hated the gimicky lower arms and the lower legs, so found parts that I thought worked with the body and upper arms.

Head Shot: The bio is awesome, love the fig, but it doesn't automatically scream COBRA operative/mercenary to me...the green tricked me into thinking he was a Joe... still a sick piece regardless!

Iron Klaw: You managed to take a dark period for Joe and turn it into something bad-@$$! Maybe if the line had been more like your figure, GI Joe Extreme would've actually been a huge hit instead of, well, GI Joe Extreme.

Lady Jaye: I love this piece because you know exactly who it is as soon as you see her! What needs to be said? That camo pattern! The perfect capper to already stellar work!

Iron Klaw is great. I like that he doesn't have a pointy chin mask section, it's part of the helmet.

Lady Jaye is nice too.

Headshot is very visual. Don't wanna mess with him at all...

All of these are top notch. The first bad ass Iron Klaw ever! The dry brushing on Head Shot is astounding- I normally don't like the Snow Job pants, but the painting really makes them work.

I like Head Shot. I thought he was a take on modern special forces too, but I think that actually fits in with the bio for him.

Iron Klaw is good too. I've wanted to do something similar but then I remember I don't really care for the character. Still you came up with a great design with those parts.

Lady Jaye is fantastic. You did a great job of giving that head sculpt life and the camo pattern is eye catchingly good.

ridiculous paint on LJ - nice one.

Love Head Shot too. The dry-brush really pops. Only question I have on him is whether he is white or black? The exposed arm (or is it just a sleeve) doesn't match the fleshtone on the neck. At least, if I'm seeing those parts correctly.

The paint on the head shot head literally dropped my jaw. I can't see him as a trooper with that head, but I can totally see him as a Punisher style comic book character.
