Chuckles was a bit of a tough one to figure out. I wanted to stay true to the v.1 figure but also wanted to update him so he'd fit in with my more realistic Joeverse. So I opted to swap the bright blue Hawaiian print shirt for a more subtle tan version. The palm trees on the shirt aren't close to perfect but they'll do for me.

In my verse Chuckles isn't an official on the books member of the Joe team. He works as an independent agent, gathering intel and passing it along to the good guys. He's the guy that knows the locals and can get you whatever equipment you need for a mission. Think of Bruce Campbell's character on "Burn Notice" only younger and more athletic.

Head: SW 30th Tycho Celchu
Torso: 25th Shipwreck
Arms, legs: 25th Duke
P90: Marauder Inc.



This Ripcord isn't really anything that hasn't been done before. I just used a different head and helmet combination and threw in a Spy Troops parachute. The Flash head works perfectly for Ripcord I think.

Head: 25th Flash
Body: 25th Stalker
Webgear: 25th Stinger Driver
Parachute: Spy Troops Flint
Helmet: 25th Duke
Mask: 25th Torpedo
Rifle: Marauder Inc modular M4

Great Job MS (yes, not Chief this time, lol). Great parts choices and paint apps. The tan is definitely more subtle on Chucles. I never noticed until now how much Tycho looks like Owen Wilson. Could just be me though.

Two really smooth customs. I really like what you did with Chuckles. I was never fond of his Hawaiian shirt, but the colour scheme is really cool here.

These both turned out really well. I lke the heads you choose for them, spot on.

Ripcord is smooth and simple, I like that. Chuckles really benefits from the new colour, but that head looks very womanly to me.

Chuckles loos really good....I like that tan/mustardy color on him...Reminds me of IWB's Tiger Force Chuckles.

chuckles does look good with a different color shirt, the hands don't look to good with blending in though.You definately dremelled his uhhmmm area alot .Ripcord is simple and thats good and totally playable, I did mine this way too pretty much so it's a winner I think

Ripcord looks KILLER!

I like Chuckles' colors, but there is something about that head and the open necked shirt that makes him look like Bombstrike's ugly sister though....

Very nice -- I had thought about that head for Chuckles when I got Tycho, but then decided on the Fred head for my Chuckles since Tycho needs a haircut -- I really dig the color scheme you gave his shirt. The long sleeves are bugging me though -- I just got back from Hawaii this morning (the reason I've been offline all week) and I've never seen a long-sleeved Hawaiian shirt. Ever. But that's a minor thing - he still looks great.

Ripcord is sweet -- I started using the Torpedo mask for mine a week or so ago - it works perfectly. Love the way you set up his 'chute and gear.

Cool stuff!

the chuckles looks good but very sepia feel to it,
Ripcord looks spot on however

Both figures look nice; clean paint aps and colors that work well. I would prefer to see Chuckles in a short sleeve shirt as well, but that is a minor, minor thing. Great work, man!
