Sweet man.

 

[Cloud Strife]

Nice! Look forward to seeing them finished.

 

[flint-wo2]

Flint looks badass.

 

[red4]

Flint looks badass.

Everyone at HT is saying that too. I intended him to look like a sharp, level-headed tactician, like a Joe version of Captain Jacob Keyes, but didn't expect him to become a favorite. And the gun in his holster is a Desert Eagle - nice and excessive.

Btw, I'm curious now. I don't know how many origin stories there are for Snake Eyes, but is it most common to incorporate the facial deformation caused by an accident/explosion/violent incident? I'm thinking of making a Snake Eyes for this team, but he won't look like your typical Snake Eyes.

 

[unclassified]

that's a gung ho hat?

 

[red4]

that's a gung ho hat?

No, which is why the parts list describes it as such.

 

[Monkeywrench]

Flint does look the best of the group

Yes...he was in a helicopter accident..

What's with the ellipses? Renegades presents another origin for his deformation, and I don't know what is most common. I'm not a Joe fan. Resolute, Renegades, and RoC all separate his muteness from his deformation, so I don't know if it was ever connected.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Well, the most accepted origin is the comic origin, which is the helo crash

This^^

Fuck that vow of silence bullshit

Agreed, but Renegades and Resolute both present an origin of his throat being shot.

 

[Monkeywrench]

Agreed, but Renegades and Resolute both present an origin of his throat being shot.

Yea, that's because they didn't want to relive the Nam back story which I think is MUCH better.

 

[K-Tiger]

I miss how all the action/police characters in the '80s were Vietnam vets.


Anyhoo, yeah, he picked up his mangled face when a helo blew up in a face. Want to guess why he was in that situation? Saving his trim. Typical mangina/white knight tool.
