Every Joe #216: Blades

Blades was originally an Action Force recolor of Tripwire as a helicopter pilot. In 2009, the GI Joe Collectors' Club did the same. Here I took Tripwire's uniform and blended it with a flight suit to get something more reasonable for a pilot.

Great take on the character.

Thanks.

I think the GIJCC should have made it a bit more than a Tripwire repaint, even if that's what the source material was. Palitoy was working with a limited palette at the time, and whatever the club made didn't need to directly reflect that.

Thanks!

I've done a few Action Force characters so far, but only ones that appeared when done as GIJCC figures.

But... since Hama ended up using them in the IDW stuff (which I'm also generally ignoring in this project), it makes me think about sliding more of them in to the project.
