New Earth "Jack of all Trades"
"The Drakes" as they are called, are a squad of highly trained and tech oriented soldiers of unknown origin. Their motives at this point are unknown, but rumor has it that they are in the employ of a highly regarded official. However, who exactly that person is that pulls their strings cannot be confirmed. What can be confirmed is that the Drakes operate with an extreme tactical proficiency unmatched by others in the world. They utilize the latest in advanced technology and use it with the utmost precision. Chances are if you ever encounter the Drakes, know that it is for a reason, and someone somewhere wants you gone. The harsh truth is though, you probably won't even know it until it's too late.
"Jack" is the code name of the squad leader of The Drakes which really is just a short version for "Jack of all trades." Jack is educated in all forms of combat, and is a natural leader and skilled tactician. Jack is as tough as they come, and employs the unique skills of his teamates in the field to overcome any obstacle.
Jack has a tendency to carry two of everything, and his squad mates still wonder how he manages to seemingly reload both weapons at the same time.
New Earth "Big Shot"
"The Drakes" as they are called, are a squad of highly trained and tech oriented soldiers of unknown origin. Their motives at this point are unknown, but rumor has it that they are in the employ of a highly regarded official. However, who exactly that person is that pulls their strings cannot be confirmed. What can be confirmed is that the Drakes operate with an extreme tactical proficiency unmatched by others in the world. They utilize the latest in advanced technology and use it with the utmost precision. Chances are if you ever encounter the Drakes, know that it is for a reason, and someone somewhere wants you gone. The harsh truth is though, you probably won't even know it until it's too late.
Big Shot is the heavy hitter of The Drakes, and takes his job to heart. He can fire his tactical nukes with pin point accuracy if need be, but with that much firepower, pin point isn't really needed. Big Shot loves things that go boom, and often carries a hand held semi auto grenade launcher into the field with him. He hates small arms, and resorts to using his "pea shooter" only in a dire emergency. Big Shot's rocket pack controls are embedded directly into his helmet feed and are voice activated.
Big shot loves mech suits...To see them explode that is. He has taken to personally marking his mech suit kills on the side of his helmet and thinks of the markings as trophies.

Marvel Universe The Red Skull
I have wanted to make a Red Skull for my boy for quite a while and finally got around to making him. I have always viewed Red Skull as having more of a disfigured appearance, and like the look of him to have a skull like visage, yet not a full blown skeleton look. I am really happy with how the sculpting turned out, but looking at the pics it looks like I will have to go back and add more texture/blend on the rest of his head.
The figure is all RoC Destro, and the fancy cigarette is a thumb tack with a bead of glue around it to show the cig looking like it is in the pipe…

Star Wars "Xontros"
“I am the monster that haunts your dreams. I am the coming storm on the horizon. I am everything you fear. The force is a weapon, and I its master. To know me is to know death itself. For I am Sith, and I will crush all who dare to cross my path.”
This is the message that all force sensitive beings heard throughout the galaxy in their minds. The message caused widespread concern, enough so that Jedi Master Luke Skywalker recalled all former students to the Jedi academy.
Unlike those of the past who claimed the Sith title, Xontros is not hiding, has no secret plans for galaxy wide domination, doesn’t carry a “Darth” title before his name, desires to have no apprentice or master, and has no army to enforce his will. Long ago a treasure hunter stranded on the ancient Sith world of Korriban, he has spent a great many years alone and isolated there. Hearing voices and having dreams eventually lead him to many undiscovered crypts and tombs of past Sith Lords. Among the artifacts he discovered, he found armor and two swords made of the rare element cortosis, which have the unique properties of disabling lightsabers. Discovering the he was a force sensitive individual and having received teachings from various holocrons, he has learned the ways of the dark side of the force. But unlike traditional Sith teachings that inspire one to rise to power, Xontros yearns only to destroy and wreak havoc. If he was to become a ruler of anything, it would be as a ruler over a galaxy of nothingness. Xontros wishes only to fight and kill, and in doing so he believes that he will become stronger and stronger.
Xontros is an exceptionally gifted swordsman and wields his two cortosis blades with lightning fast speed and accuarcy. He is exceptionally strong in using force push/pull on others, objects, and to propel himself great distances. He is also quite strong in the use of force sense and mind tricks confusing others into believing he isn’t there. He relishes in causing fear in others as well. It is unknown if he has the ability to wield force lightning.
Xontros is nothing more than a self serving mass murderer, and he not only accepts this role as his destiny, he enjoys every part of it. He welcomes any and all who would challenge him openly, especially Jedi.
At first I was skeptical of using GI Joe parts for a Star Wars fig, due to them usually being taller and larger scaled. But with this, he is exactly right in height to fit right in with my Star Wars guys. I wanted to make a more non traditional Sith Lord, and hence he uses actual blades instead of sabers.
