Lt. Falcon 6” G.I. Joe classified

I know Falcon has a good chance of being made in the new 6” G.I. Joe line so I went with his Night Force suit... Presenting Lt. Falcon.

Awesome.  I like that he doesn't have gold and crap all over him, too.  Is that a head from a Mattel John Cena?

Thank you! The head is from a marvel legends Cap America.

I knew I recognized it.  Works perfectly for Flint.  Did you sculpt the beret?

No it came from a 90’s dollar store figure. I’ve had it for years.

Nice custom there, pal. For a second I thought he was Flint.

See, I thought he was Flint, too.  A green beret might have helped, since Falcon is supposed to be a green beret.

Except Green Berets don't wear green berets anymore.

It is based off the original figure in which case the beret was black.

That's actually a 1988 issued repaint of the original Falcon figure from 1987 based on his appearance in the movie where his beret was green and he wore camo. 

Regardless, I still like your custom and think you did a damn good job on it.  It's a great homage to the figure that inspired it.

Thank you... yes I know Night Force was a repaint Toys r Us 2 pack series, but if they make Falcon I think he will be more true to the vintage with the green beret, so I wanted mine to be a little more unique. Thanks again.
