Remco released a "Parachutist Commando", a static figure attached to a working parachute, as part of its The Bad Guys set.

Like the figure that came with the Assault Raft Invasion Set, it was unnamed. I chose "Owl" because it fits the tone and feels like a name Remco might've gone with.

The group shot shows Owl, Buzzard (based on Remco's MOTU-scale The Bad Guys line), and Hippo (the Assault Raft Invasion Set figure).

Thanks!

I considered doing something with the collar, but didn't want to push into MCU Vulture territory.

Homaging a rather little known property? Sounds like my wheelhouse. Going to look up that history but I gotta say great work! Owl and the others like fantastic!

Very cool. He's got a really satisfying bulk to him.

Now come on you can't post a new Bad Guy and not give us a group shot of all of them together. I'm still enjoying your progress on this project.

Yes, and not too tall, either. Kind of the Wolverine of the group. Unintentionally, of course.

Don't worry, there will be a big group shot at the end. Before we get there, I'll be showing the "second wave" figures together until they're finished.

I'm about 70% done with the first of the three Helicopter Assault Crew (or Ground Crew, whatever it was called).

So 3 more figures and The Bad Guys will be all wrapped up! Not too bad for my first on-going-until-it's-done project.
