Delta-17 War In The Shadows O-Ring Action Figure Line
We wanted to introduce you to the Delta-17 action figure line, the next evolution in the 3.75” O-ring retro-stylized military action figure range, reimagined in modern times! The Delta-17 line is described as a true-blue military action figure line with a splash of the incredible.
Tier-1 Operatives take on a Samurai-themed leader, his army of ninja-based androids, and his hired mercenaries. These figures will be compatible in scale to your GI Joe O-Ring figures.
Tier 1 operators are assembled from around the world, unified in a clandestine, black ops group. The objective: to confront the threat of a new, militaristic cabal operating in the shadows. This enigmatic new enemy appears to function with illegal support and funding from our very own, apparently legit governmental organizations. As such, Delta-17’s entire existence and missions are conducted off the books. As a tier 1 special task force, their day to day assignment is the confrontation and destruction of this new dark state cabal and its military support assets. For now, little is known about this new cabal and its associated army.
Unofficially, they are known in the underground circles as the Dark Shadows, with an undisclosed base of operations off the coast of Japan. They are believed to be tied to various mercenary factions to assist them, the origins and alliances of which are under ongoing scrutiny by Delta-17 and the military intelligence group that is a direct support element to D17. In the end, few can be trusted, no missions will be recorded. History will have no knowledge of what has or will transpire here. The fight between Delta-17 and its mysterious enemy begins and ends… in the shadows.
Test Shots
A very late stage prototype, test shots are factory samples that are sent to toy designers once the tooling is complete. The Delta-17 figures are near complete and, in this stage, could go through some final tweaking regarding tightness and tolerances. We are thrilled to see the first five figures in the line so let’s dive in and learn more about Delta-17!
Communications Officer
This character is Native American who carries an FN SCAR series rifle.
The cool aspect of the backpack he’s wearing is that the design is modular, meaning that you can remove the antennae and the radio but it gets better! The communications assembly also comes off and can turn into it’s own backpack!
Okami – Robot Ninja
Japanese for Wolf, Delta-17 has created a badass Robot Ninja who’s hands pop off and are compatible with the GI Joe BAT’s. He’s clad in armor with some Ninja sai’s on this leg. He’s carrying a submachine gun with both smaller and larger Katana swords on his backpack. Described as Difficult to defeat, effective in firearms, adept at hand to hand combat, and unconditionally programmed to follow orders the Okami stand at the forefront of the Dark Shadows’ operations.
Preacher
The designated marksman of the crew, Preacher comes armed to the gills with two rifles. You can stow both rifles on his pack and he also comes with a close quarters M4. The long rifle is an MRAD Lapua with a bipod and it looks amazing! He is also wearing a retro Harley Davidson leather jacket and will also feature digital camouflage pants.
Spetsnaz Trooper
Based off the real life Spetsnaz, this figure features some nice updates on the harness to make it Delta-17’s own. As part of the Thunder Battalion, he’s wearing the Altyn Helmet, which is a titanium helmet and will come with two different visors. He also is wearing a balaclava with a PVC belt, similar to the way that the GI Joe Snow Serpent was belt was constructed. He is also carrying an AK-12 assault rifle and is meant to be a troop builder.
Shadow Dragon
The highest in command of the bad guys, Shadow Dragon has a helmet with heads up display (inside), shoulder armor, and leg armor. The forearm armor pieces will be glued on and the color scheme of the figure will be a nice medley of bright reds, dark blacks, and rich grays. A custom SMG gun was made for the figure. The soft goods cape has a wire at the bottom, so you can pose the cape and position it how you like it.The cape is also removable for an additional display option. The swords clip in nice and tight and they are held in as part of the shoulder armor.
