Well you could always take a stroll through Yojoe.com and check out the figures to pick a head sculpt, or just describe what you want the head to look like and I'll match it up the best I can.
Or if I bothered to read all the posts before replying, I could just say "What Maximus said". _________________ . . . and a bottle of rum!

Team: COBRA
Codename: STKNVIPER1071
File Name: L*******, ROBERT F.G.
Birthplace: STOCKTON, CA
Primary Military Specialty: HEAVY WEAPONS
Secondary Military Specialty:URBAN ASULT
Stknviper1071, joined COBRA after seeing a GI JOE skystriker accidently have a weapons misfire while chaseing down the COBRA Air Commander "WILD WEASEL" that resulted in the destruction of his familly home and business....killing his parents, grand parents, 2 brothers and his crippled sister.
From that day on STKNVIPER1071 vowed to make the GI JOE team suffer...esp any Joe that are in the Air Corps.
Once joining COBRA, STKNVIPER1071 showed skills in the use of heavy weapons....he spent his nights figuring out ways to maxamise the dammage abilities of what ever heavy weapon he chooses to use...
His uncanny abilities to take out fast moving targets at an excelarted rate amazed even DESTROS own SCRAP IRON and METAL HEAD... both feel that STKNVIPER1071 is a prodigey of explosive talients....Both have from time to time given advice and tips..that STKNVIPER1071 asorbed with great interest.....
the COBRA COMMANDER once finding out about what STKNVIPER1071 was capeable of decided to put him in charge of all of COBRA'S heavy weapons units...his choice was proven correct when on a mission with "FIREFLY" to Travis AFB to sabotuge several expermantel High Speed Low Alitude bombers....STKNVIPER1071 came across several of GI JOES top fighter jocks...gathered in a open hanger, aiming his LAW he fired in to the fuel tanks mounted on the hangers roof incerating all the pilots...
STKNVIPER1071 a legend among new COBRA blueshirts...and the pride of COBRAS heavy weapons unit...and feared by the remaining living Joe pilots
i am cool with Coil driver head...(the one that came in the spytroops 2 pk

| Quote: | | I gather VvV is Valor vs. Venom, but what do JVC/ST//DTC stand for? |
JVC - stands for Joe vs. Cobra. This is what was printed on the box when GI Joe was relaunched (around 2002 I think)
ST - stands for Spy Troops. One of the two figures included a disguise to help infiltrate the enemy (personally one of my favorite gimmicks)
DTC - stands for Direct to Consumer\Customer. This line started off as an internet exclusive thru Hasbro's website, but was eventually carried by toys r us. _________________ "Why not just make 10 louder?"

Well, my real name is my board name, on accounta my being a crass and self-obsessed Narcissist, so can I therefore cheerfully ignore the use-your-board-name rule? I will proceed as if this is the case, and if it proves false, I will simply blame Ruki Ren.
Preferred head: Surprise me.
Code Name: Obsidian
Specialty: Interrogation; Torture; Brainwashing
Affiliation: Cobra
Little is known about the man who calls himself Obsidian. The only thing his wary colleagues can agree on is that Obsidian has long been in the throes of a compulsive and unsettling fixation on G.I. Joe tracker Spirit Iron-Knife.
Obsidian has carved "Spirit" into his forearm in harsh, jagged letters with a blade made of the volcanic glass that shares his name. The walls of his cramped private quarters in Cobra's base of operations are covered in an agitated collage of photos and crude portraits of Spirit, the latter seemingly formed from an unlikely and troubling mixture of crayon wax and blood, presumably Obsidian's own, though thus far no one has ventured to ask Obsidian to confirm this.
Obsidian claims to be Spirit Iron-Knife's brother; the first man to gently suggest to Obsidian that this is unlikely because, "Um... man... you're white," was a Viper who as of this writing has yet to regain complete mobility, nor even the ability (or at least the willingness) to speak. Needless to say, this hapless Viper was also the last person to dispute Obsidian's claim.
Despite his obvious Caucasian ethnicity, Obsidian has adorned his flesh and clothes alike in the tribal patterns, totem imagery and other trappings of Native American culture and mythology, and he can often be found chanting quietly while staring intently into the gently weaving patterns of campfire smoke; the fire alarms in his wing have been disarmed, owing to his stubborn and fanatical insistence on creating roaring bonfires inside Cobra's high-tech base. Curiously, Obsidian's room has always remained bare of furniture and other personal effects, nor does he seem to have a supply of firewood, which makes Obsidian's fires something of a mystery. Obsidian claims that the fires, like his astonishing skill in the art of psychological manipulation, are a "manifestation of my mystical symbiosis with the Mother Force," and most Cobra troopers simply nod their heads and smile politely at this claim. It has also been noted that even at their brightest and most ferocious, the fires in Obsidian's quarters inexplicably produce no heat. He has often been seen dancing tensely within the flames, to no apparent ill effect. A number of troopers believe that these flames are in fact a shared hallucination, that Obsidian is skilled in mysterious methods of mind control. It could be that he knows of chemicals or herbs which cause hallucinations; this would account for his unprecedented success as an interrogator.
Obsidian has shunned the military garb and protective gear preferred by his more cautious colleagues, opting instead for simple denim pants. His tendency is to leave his torso uncovered save for his tribal tattoos and a menacing set of makeshift shoulder pads carved, like his many blades, from obsidian.
When not staring into one of his towering fires or composing another portrait of his sworn enemy, Obsidian can usually be found forcing thin slivers of volcanic glass beneath his fingernails in an affort to "Prove myself worthy of the Mother Force." _________________ ****

Who says watching Nascar isn't a good specialty. It's as good as psycological warfare, or evil brain tweaking dentist, or avian loving accountant. I may have to give that head scult a go reguardless. The hair/facial hair looks like it'd be a blast to try. _________________ . . . and a bottle of rum!

Ok...here's my go at it!
I'm not at all familiar with those Joe lines, so I'm sure you know what MacGyver looks like...the hair just has to be, you know, mullety. lol.
I shortened his codename to Mac, cuz MacGyver's his real name...and that's what everyone calls me here anyway.
File Picture:
Codename: Mac
Affiliation: GI Joe
File Name: MacGyver, Angus
Birthplace: Mission City, MN
Primary Military Specialty: Covert Ops
Secondary Military Specialty: Environmental Recon
Mac grew up in a small town where everyone knew he had an acute sense of justice and a remarkable knack for making useful things out of odds and ends.
After graduating from Western Tech with a degree in physics, Mac joined the army, staying true to his wandering spirit. He quickly proved he was Special Forces material and, with his natural aptitude for science and improvisation, he was called upon for several harrowing missions, including a stint with the Bomb Disposal Unit. When his service ended, he continued to work for the government as a troubleshooter and field agent for the Department of External Services (DXS) and eventually the Phoenix Foundation. With the increasing threat from COBRA, the Foundation was contracted for a top secret mission to infiltrate a COBRA stronghold and retrieve information regarding plans that would have a catastrophic impact on the on the earth’s atmosphere. Mac took the assignment and carried it out armed with little more than his Swiss Army Knife and ingenuity. His success earned him a unique position in the GI Joe team, working independently on top secret cases to thwart COBRA Commander’s sinister schemes and acting as the team’s environmental watchdog. His refusal to use guns, a decision made after his Special Forces days, mystifies the team but they’re glad to have him on their side.
General Hawk’s Files: “Mac’s more boy scout than soldier, but he’s a one man strike force and his best weapon is his mind. He uses whatever’s available to get the job done, and if that’s nothing more than a paperclip and Duct tape...well, let’s just say he’s hard to beat because nobody knows what he’s going to do next....including him.” _________________ It's amazing what one can do when one doesn't know what one can't do. -Garfield the Cat
