Head: Unproduced Mega Marine Falcon
Body, helmet, backpack: Payload v.2
Pistol: JvC Cobra Commander


This figure came about for two reasons. First, I really love the Roadblock Star Brigade figure. Maybe it was seeing the NASA launch suits in the movie Armageddon or maybe because orange is my favorite color, but the figure stands out amongst the crowd. Second, I had this casting of Mega Marine Falcon that I really wanted to use. When I came across a beat up Payload version 2 at a toy show, I remembered Grand Slam's repaint of the mold for his Countdown custom. I knew I wanted to do something similar. I started by dying the white figure orange. It came out a little darker then the more neon-ish Roadblock. A little black trimming along with gun metal and silver for the details, as well as, some Tamaya clear red on the visor of the helmet, added the painted Falcon head, which resembles Countdown anyway, and presto change-o, Star Brigade Countdown.
