| Post subject: | 25th Anniversary Iron Fist & Luke Cage |
Two more figure joint Nick Fury's SHIELD task force: Daniel "Iron Fist" Rand and Luke Cage... ![]() Iron Fist ![]() ![]() ![]() On a journey to discover the fate of his father, Rand stumbled upon K'un-L'un, an ancient hidden city in the mountains of Nepal. Taken into the city, he was adopted into the clan of the Thunder, and trained to become the guardian of the city, a legacy of warriors called Iron Fist. On the eve of receiving the title, Rand discovered the Thundered slain by his son, Davos. Davos, jealous of Rand, stole the sacred robes and declared himself Iron Fist. A long and grueling duel ended as Rand was about to deliver the killing blow, Davos revealed he had slain Rand's father when the elder Rand discovered the city. Using the distraction, Davos leapt into the gorge surrounding the city and was presumed killed. Rand was recruited into SHIELD by Colonel Fury a few months later for a special covert task force. Selected for his infiltration and hand-to-hand skills, Iron Fist is called upon for the deadliest of missions, often partnered with Luke Cage. Rand's involvement with SHIELD is even more important as it has come to light that Davos survived and now works for the terrorist organization known as Cobra, using the alias the Steel Serpent. Rand is mastered in all martial arts, including those of the Arashikage clan, the Koga ninjas, and K'un-L'un. His greatest asset is the Iron Fist, a technique allowing all the user's strength to be channeled into a single blow. Luke Cage ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Carl Lucas came from a poor family in Harlem as joined the army to help them make ends meet. Quickly promoted for service and skill, Sgt. Lucas was on active duty in Afghanistan when he discovered several fellow soldiers involved in a drug smuggling scheme with a local cartel. Lucas was betrayed when he brought allegations against the soldiers, the CID unit finding opium in Lucas' gear. Sentenced to Levinworth and dishonorable discharged, Lucas' career and life were over until fate stepped in. Colonel Fury knew Lucas was innocent and offered him a chance at redemption: joining SHIELD. His name legally changed to Luke Cage, he now joined Fury's secret task force with Daniel Rand, Colleen Wing, Mark Specter, and Misty Knight. Cage is frequently appointed field leader and has the respect of the team, even if they do poke fun at his catch phrase of "Sweet Christmas", which he picked up from his grandmother, who hated profanity and was a Cage stated "even meaner and tougher than the terrorists we fight". |

Recipes: Iron Fist: Head: modified Obi-Wan episode 1 Body: Snake-eyes lower arms: Storm Shadow Harness: Cobra Officer I combined Danny's new costume with the Iron Fist uniform worn by Orson Randall in the new series to make a more military looking Fist. I also reversed the black and yellow in his uniform for the same reason. Luke Cage: Head: BBI Marine Body: Roadblock lower arms: Shipwreck with new hands Vest: PTE with BBI pouches. |

Just perfect customs! And an orignal take on them, putting them in shield. You are really turning up the heat with your customs iwbeta. It would be cool to see an "Iron Fist effect" on Iron Fist. Also the gun it a bit weird on him, but I guess it's ok considering he is in shield. Maybe load him up with exotic weapons? Absolutely impressive |

I really want a Colt .45 for Fist, like Orson used since he was the WW2 Iron Fist (Get on that, Marauder John!) I think I can arrange a glowing hand effect... need to get into my junk bin and see what I can rustle up. |

Seriously, I gotta be the first one to say it? Sweet Christmas! Them's some good frickin' figs, man. The only small critique I can give is that Fist's hood would look better if the sides were trimmed closer to his head, I think. Beyond that; DA-YUM. |
