Whole bunch of Navy SEAL Guile bodies, whole bunch of heads.


Shark Force -- which I originally called Sea Force but decided Shark Force sounded more like a seaborne version of Tiger Force -- started out as a means of me doing a sort of quick custom team of G.I.Joes. I bought a bunch of Navy SEAL Guile's on clearance, and then went through my parts bin to see whose heads I had.

The body is recolored from the 1991-93 Wet-Suit, of course, which while a decent diving suit, I never much cared for as Wet-Suit. Always preferred the 1986 version. The heads are from all over the place. The team leader, in the center is code-named Tigershark. The head is originally from Spaceshot, and I chose it because there was a bit of a collar molded to the neck, which made the figure look a little more distinctive on the team.

I created a number of new code names for certain characters, all with sea-type names, including names like Barracuda, Harpoon, Orca, and Minnow -- okay, I'm kidding with that last one. The three main divers of the G.I.Joe Team -- Torpedo, Wet-Suit, and Deep Six, all made it onto the team, as did Snake-Eyes, who used the original black Wet-Suit body, as well as Red Star, just because I wanted to put an Oktober Guard character on a special team.

The only major modification I made to the uniforms was to paint the trim a different color for everybody -- which is probably a result of watching Power Rangers too much... :)

My most stellar work? Probably not. But I like them. I hope you do, as well.
