| Combat Commander Code Name: Bullet Proof |
| Head: Stretcher Body: Recoil After the Drug Elimination Force program was eliminated to to jurisdctional issues, Bullet Proof was transfered to the main body of the Joe team. A quallified commander, he has the one quality that Generals have always sought in Commanders: He's lucky. I refused to buy the original Bullet Proof because the camo was silly. Neon yellow lines on green for an urban setting? I wanted to stay true to the design of the figure, but make him look a little more suited to combat ops. I picked up a Recoil with some minor paint wear, touched up the web gear with a darker green and gave him a green shirt to cover the light flesh tone chest. I think it looks great, and is still very playable. I hand carved the beret out of Stretcher's head. I decided that I had a lot of heads with arctic gear or just silly hats, and tried to carve them into Berets, which are my favourite Joe headgear. The results are surprisingly good, and I'll be making a few bodies to catch up with my new beret heads. The only problem with this one is that I accidently "Van Gogh'ed" his ear when carving the chin strap into a comm mike. I painted over the ear with a radio set, but that side of his head looks a little uneven. |
