Hello everyone,

Here are some customs that I worked on the past few days. They are new characters that I have made up and the following is the story behind each character.

Vigilante Force is made up of members from different parts of Latin America and the United States. This force was founded primarily for protection in the areas of the world that are over run by narco-terrorism. G.I.Joe has monitored their operations and have worked together on a few occasions. They each wear a touch of red as a memorial to those that have bled.

Ha! Very original ethnic concept here. Not a single bad stereotype among them. I especially like Cannibal's backstory. Funny stuff! Excellent work!
