Kraken (Action Force)

The Kraken was initially released in the UK Action Force line by Palitoy in 1984, and to date, has never had a modern update by Hasbro. I suppose the closest counterpart he would have had in the original RAH G.I. Joe line would have been the Hydro-Viper from 1988. Since I've been building up a Red Shadows team for my Multiverse, I thought this was a necessary addition.

Formula:

Head: Unknown, donated by Swizzlesticks Customs
Body, Trident, Stand: Boss Fight Studios
Vest, leg knife: Marauder Task Force
Net: Croc Master v4
Red Shadows decal: Bad Mother Tattoos and Customs

Paints used: Citadel, Model Masters.

Thanks for looking.

Ton-Up (Action Force)

I actually had to look up this guy's code name for the definition. Apparently it's UK slang for someone that likes to travel at speeds of up to 100 MPH. Seems fitting considering Ton-Up was originally a getaway driver for a gang of bank robbers before he became a tank driver for Action Force. Now when Palitoy released Ton-Up in 1985 in the UK, he was little more than a re-release of the Hasbro G.I. Joe character Rock N Roll, and came with a re-colored version of the Wolverine tank. Since he's another Action Force member to never get a modern update, I decided to expand my motor pool a bit.

Formula:

Entire figure and accessories: Marauder Task Force
UK Flag decal: Bad Mother Tattoos and Customs

Paints used: Citadel Nuln Oil to weather the boots and leather parts of the outfit, Model Master Flat Clear to seal the decal in place.

Thanks for looking.
