Base Figure: Ashiko
Head: Thor Figure
Jacket: The Doctor


I generally don't like my GI Joe team members to be masked, the exception is Snake Eyes of course. And I had high hopes of the announced Ashiko character being an Asian character who was not a ninja. Disappointed at the released figure and bio I set out to redo both.

Ashiko joined GI Joe to get more hands on time with cutting edge technology. As a teenager he had built many high speed racing motorcycles in his garage and had began adding armor to them to make them more durable. As a longtime fan of futuristic cartoons featuring robots and battle suits, Ashiko's builds favored the outlandish designs. When he joined GI Joe, Ashiko was a natural fit with the BF3k experimental weapons team. Of course his first solo build and budget allowed him the chance to build his transforming battle suit, TurboOne, that doubles as a high speed motorcycle. While quite impressive, it was not very practical for mass production. Ashiko proved his worth with the design and even more every time he takes the weapon out in battle.
