Post subject: | 25th Chuckles and Ripcord |
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.

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.

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. |

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

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 ![]() 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! Todd Shakka85 |
