Well the funk is over kind of I ended up having some time off work due to a persistent lurking cold turning into something proper. Silver lining allowing me to get some painting done this week in between feeling achy and shivery lol!
So first up is a Ninja for the Alpha Squad Project. Again one I never really had as a kid but was in the GI Joe movie which I watched far to often. The female ninja known as Jinx. More recently she was in the second Gi Joe movie Retaliation. Jinx is from the same ninja clan as Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow and from memory is a blood relative (cousin) of Storm Shadow.
Next up is a pair of animal companions something that they often released with the various Action Figures was some sort of animal sidekick. The more famous ones being Timber (Snake Eyes) and Polly (Shipwreck). These have been lurking around the paint table for a while now. They are Reaper Bones figures from the Familiar Pack 1 its a funny material. I cleaned them up ok and spray primed them without issue but couldn't get in the mood to paint them.
I picked this set up mainly for the Hawk to use as Freedom (Spirits Companion) yes I know he is meant to be an Eagle but I was unable to find a suitable eagle sized model and this looks the part really. Also in the set was a fox which I thought would double up as a Coyote whom I could use to represent Sandstorm who accompanied the later versions of the Desert Trooper Dusty.
