G.I. Joe Head Canon & Fanfic Filecards

It's a great figure.

I actually had put him aside for a bit to make room for recent acquisitions and am about to pull him back out again. He's a top tier Classified. (I keep doing this to MYSELF, too - Quick Kick moved to the front of the shelf yesterday, made a custom Hector Ramirez, and have an eBay bid in on parts to make a custom Candy Appel... This thread is costing me money!)

If I were doing this as a long-form comic Carla would be something else, like "Stitch" or "Patch." Some classic playful nickname for a medic or surgeon. But that's also me not wanting Uncle Carl dead in this timeline yet. Maybe she'd start as Stitch and take on Doc if something happens to Carl.

Hm, yeah that would be a good way to do it.

Blowtorch was so hard to figure out. His OG file card says he's utterly paranoid about fire, won't sleep in a room without a smoke detector or be around people smoking cigarettes and I figured that could make him sound crazy... or maybe once you've looked into the flame you know how small you are. (My house burned down 25 years ago and I can STILL see the ball of flame that blew out the roof when they vented it.) So that might be a me thing: fire scares the FUCK out of me, but I want to express fear in poetic ways, so I projected that onto Blowtorch.

Wow. I knew that story but hadn't connected it to this; really incredible work.

And yeah, I never would have known where to go with him, but you really came up with something special and even managed to give him a personal touch, which I always appreciate.

My friend, karma got me for getting you guys to buy the actual figures so badly. I'm hunting for a good microphone for Hector. I need a head that'll fit on a Crimson Guardsman for Professor Appel. If I write up Dr. Venom I'll end up spending 40 bucks on that FMF figure...
