Tunnel Rat - Explosive Ordance Disposal

Another Recreational Conflict miniature, from their S.P.R.U. line, and this time the slightly smaller size works in its favor: it's Tunnel Rat.

Tunnel Rat, at least in the cartoon, is supposed to be a little smaller than the other Joes. At least if you consider the G.I.Joe Movie canon, which not everyone does.

The mini I found, C.J., works pretty well for Tunnel Rat: he has the bandana, the short sleeve shirt with gloves. Too bad he tucked his pants in his boots, although that might make more sense when crawling in tunnels.

I suppose I could have tried to mock up a backpack for him, but I think this look works just fine.

Too bad he doesn't resemble Larry Hama a little more, but what can you do at 28mm?

Kwinn - Mercenary \ Tracker

From one mercenary to another.

If you don't know who Kwinn is, go pickup the first couple of trades of the Marvel G.I. Joe comic and get educated.

For my money, the live action G.I. Joe movies won't *really* be good until they include the Kwinn vs. Dr. Venom rivalry. (Since Kwinn was often employed by Cobra, I filed Kwinn there, but he could have gone either way.)

Thanks to Recreational Conflict, I found a great Kwinn with their Civilian Singles: Photographer mini. The pose, the clothes, everything works great.

Well, almost everything...

As it turns out, these minis are a little on the small side compared to Heroclix or the more "heroic" sized miniatures.

Or, maybe Kwinn is just in background...
