My Marvel/GI Joe toy-verse is perpetually set in the 80s, with the Fantastic Four’s fateful flight happening in 1979 and includes some of my other 70s and 80s toy characters adapted to fit the setting.
I looked at the early first appearance BW designs and found the fishnets and cape-let design lacking, so I designed a look that kept the domino mask of the original BW (which I thought also tied her in to the Winter Soldier nicely) and gave her a version of the catsuit which brought the Widow design to the fore. I had contemplated giving her the black hair she had in her original appearances, but decided it would make her look too much like a Cat Woman knockoff.
Red Guardian is a slight repaint with a custom shield, and the Winter Soldier remains unchanged, except for exchanging his Mauser C96 pistol for a more appropriate Tokarev TT-33.
Pulsar, the Ultimate Soviet Man is my adaptation of Mattel’s Pulsar Ultimate Man of Action figures from the 70s, an attempt to compete with Kenner’s Six Million Dollar Man line. Here he is the communist version of the Steve Austin, enhanced with bionics and chemicals. He is made from a MU Wonder Man.
The big guy is Tugarin, an original character. He is a mutant with super strength and durability, but his metabolism is such that he must eat massive amounts of food to maintain his abilities.
I may eventually switch the head on Pulsar to a He-Man shrink.. all those old Mattel heads (Big Jim, Pulsar, MOTU) must have been done by the same guy.. the faces are all of a type.
PS: I am also slightly disappointed by the movie Taskmaster costume... a slightly more skull-like mask and it would be fine.
If anyone is interested in an Udon style TM, here’s a very early WIP of one I’m making using Fortnite parts.
Sweet set, that TM really makes me want to bulk order FN figures, but as it is I'm pushing my haul limits.
