I pulled these out recently and wanted to scan them to post here on the board. Hadn't seen these online anywhere, so I figured these could be useful for collectors, fans, or for any custom work.

Thanks a bunch. I'm trying to add The Corps! characters to my Joe ranks and this helps. |

Yup, that's pretty much what I'm planning, except Whispering Willie I've given a new twist that I just came up with about a month ago when trying to work him in, and he's going to kill two customs with one figure. He's getting an orange Mohawk instead of the pink one the original figure had. My bio for him: "Willie was a young street tough with a speech impediment. This caused him to talk little and to whisper or mumble when he did speak. People took to calling him 'Whispering Willie'. One day, he witnessed a young Zartan and his crew terrorizing a group of tourists and he was completely mesmerized. He dressed more like Zartan and even took to painting his face with Zartan's telltale mask, using orange paint to match his shock of orange hair. During the '90's, he actually began calling himself Zartan, sporting lime green pants, purple shin guards, a leather vest, and a large orange Mohawk. Once the real Zartan got wind of this, he was quickly stopped. However, Zartan appreciated Willie's initiative and intelligence (at least compared to the Dreadnoks) and let him continue using the paint, but not the name. He now works as Zartan's enforcer, keeping the various chapters of the Dreadnoks in line." |

Yeah, I've got Crowbar as a Dreadnok, especially given that weird saw-blade-wheeled trike he came with. How'd you like for your code-name to be "Gasman"? Brother is that asking for jokes. MarkM, love your backstory for Willie (and that awful Ninja Force Zartan) Did they ever do these for that trio that came along in the mid-90's -- Lars Lazer, Justin Case, and Full Proof? |

These are awesome! I definitely see some ideas I can use for customs like using a Dodger head for Brickwall, and on 04 Chief Torpedo head for Whipsaw. I've always wanted to add a Night Lazer to my team as well. As an aside, looking at the pics at a glance, I read Hat Trick Lamonde's name as "Hot Thick Lemonade" |

Wow. Those are so 80s. It's like if Cannon films made a toyline.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_T ... roup_films |

IIRC, when the line started as GUNG-HO! (Hasbro sued them), the single carded figures had bigger file cards, similar to GI JOE. |

The first series Corps! figures had much larger bios, but not much more info. Scroll down to the Yellow Back series and click into a character. https://www.figurerealm.com/actionfigur ... ures=corps |
