G.I. Joe Head Canon & Fanfic Filecards

Code Name: Short-Fuze (Disavowed)
File Name, Freistadt, Eric W.
Primary Military Specialty: Artillery
Secondary Military Specialty: Infantry Engineer
Birthplace: Chicago, Illinois
Grade: E-4

Subject was one of a small number of GI Joe members who had to be physically escorted from the building upon the team's dissolution. If not for the intervention of three other outgoing Joes, the security detail may have had to use force as Freistadt became violently angry at the forced early retirement offered. It became clear later that the Lewis team may have been able to leverage his family's long military history to recruit him to our side, but Lewis himself wanted a blanket removal of all soldiers connected directly to the GI Joe team. Subject is currently working as a consultant engineer out of Chicago specializing in controlled demolition.

"We really thought Short-Fuze was going to kill someone when they pushed us out. It was a pride thing - his father and grandfather were career military and Short-Fuze never planned on doing anything different. But you know that saying, so smart they're stupid? That's him. Only guy I know who thinks he could land an airplane in an emergency and probably could. The man can do physics equations in his head, but couldn't keep his mouth shut, made a big show of it til Steeler and Gung-Ho dragged him out. But on the upside, guys like Hawk know how to use that anger, and when we told Short-Fuze we were getting the gang back together, he started grinning and asked: who are we blowing up first?"
 
At least I'm not losing more ground today. Crystal Ball!

And also Lady Jaye, which ended up being more complicated than I thought when I decided to do her. Uh huh huh.

I love that you added spy photos circling her in red in that file folder, Ru. that's a great touch. (Also yeah, personnel file minus the hat works better. But goddamn Lady Jaye needs a second chance at her head sculpt, her existing figure is so grim!

Not gonna be super helpful to some people, but SnowCat Lady Jaye gets a new head without any headgear.
 
Any requests for characters?
Too many?

I mean.. we chatted about him elsewhere so you gotta figure out how Voltar fits into this. Also believe you haven't done Outback yet, which is clearly a personal attack on me and my entire family.
 
I'm so mad that this version of G.I. Joe isn't official.
Same. It feels like it's launching off the Hama stuff really well while incorporating a lot of things we've all discussed here, and now Doc is driving it hard into this really great direction.

thank you! I keep trying to think of little things like that to add for characters.

Agreed. I have the Retro one and kinda want to get the regular figure to do a kitbash, but the heads still aren't gonna be super great.
It started out as a lark with the first card weeks ago and now I wish I could pitch it to Hasbro as a comic or cartoon. Any requests for characters?
Seriously, we need to make this happen. "Look at this wonderful thing we've been doing with your IP!" but this would make such an amazing miniseries.

Not immediately helpful but you just helped me with "oh god what have I done" with buying the SnowCAT. Every month closer we get to it shipping the more my anxiety amps up.

Voltar is on the short list of characters who hasn't been made in Classified whom I think about often enough to do one of these for him. He's in the cards. I actually have a plan for Outback shortly - I kind of tie him, Dusty, and Recondo together as "the three who completely disappeared" from Cobra's surveillance as they embrace their favored terrain and go into hiding.
