    Part 4: New Characters

    Skydiver
    Skydiver is a one of a few characters created by Funskool for their GI Joe line. According to his file card, he is a bit of a one-man army that can give Big Brawler a run for his money.

    Head: RoC Duke
    Helmet: 25th Airborne
    Backpack: Renegades Ripcord
    Everything else: 50th Beachhead







    Street Hawk w. motorcycle
    Street Hawk was created by Funskool and is based off the 1985 movie of the same name. Funskool intended it to be a race bike and as such did not include any armament with the original. For my version, I added the side mounted mini-gun and gave the figure a sub-machine gun. I will be using the figure as a Street Viper, a motorized division of the Alley Vipers.

    Head: PoC Cobra Commander
    Torso, arms: Ret Snake Eyes
    Legs: RoC Neo-Viper
    Helmet: PoC Alley Viper
    Harness: RoC MARS Officer

    Motorcycle: (Beat up) Vintage RAM










    Super Cop
    Super Cop may very well be the best known of Funskool’s exclusive characters, probably (in part) because the original re-used Sgt Slaughter’s head. According to his file card, Super Cop certainly lives up to his code name. He is an expert with all kinds of pistols and rifles. He is also an expert marksman that never misses his target. For my custom, I did not have a spare Slaughter head, so I used one that was in my fodder box that had shades and a ‘stache. Wild Bill’s head is a bit undersized so, I will keep my eyes open for a better one to replace this one in the future.

    Head: 25th Wild Bill
    Hat: VvV Wild Bill
    Everything else: 25th Hawk

    Not in this batch. The last Friday of the month will feature the final 5 figures in this series and Superhero is not one of them. I did not make all the Funskool characters this time around. I will have lots left for round 2 some time next year
