These are really good! I haven't seen something like this done yet. I love the CG, kind of like the IG troopers. The Joes are all awesome, and really like how the SS mask is of an asian dragon, instead of just a plain cloth. Nice!
Dragasses says
these are A-1 top choice.
I especially like storm shadow's choice of head gear.

While the WWII look has been done a couple times as far as figure customs, there are some really creative choices here and I like 'em!
If Hasbro took a Joe figure line in this direction, I'd buy for sure. Would love to see his work on a "brown shirt" Major Bluff.

Bookmarked for awesomeness.
Incredible artwork over.
Just a few minor tweaks.
Roadblock could have his 30 cal MG just like his v1 figure had and please no finger on the trigger.
I am torn on Flint being a MSG. I pictured him as probably a MAJ in WWII, BN XO or even a BN CDR depending on attrition of field grades.
SS just creeps me out.

This is just pure awesome.
Someone should be doing a comic...

Roadblock's gun was a M2 in .50 BMG, and it's been a ridiculous choice since day one. The BAR is sensible in this instance, if not as close to original role of Roadblock as an M1919A4 or A6 would have been.
They aren't bad, but the Baroness is a cliché strait out of a fetish video.
Star Eater says
Totally badass.

awesome, great work

Very fitting to the time. I would buy a 1944 set if they would make these. Great work El Mono Cromatico. Thanks for putting this art up C.I.A.D.
