I'm sure you're all getting tired of seeing me doing another Joe, ya? I promise I will stop and do something else soon, but lets have another one now, shall we? 
There are a few excellent Chuckles on our board. Some went with the spot-on classic style and then others went for original interpretations. Love them all to be honest. I have been wanting to take a stab on him with a more modern interpretation. Biggest stumble block is almost always the Hulu shirt. Glad I didn't resort into using the hideous fake Hulu from DML's CID Wai. Acting on a credible lead from an awesome gent here (you know who you are), finally tracked down an awesome piece from Asmus Toys. Took a while to get here but well worth the wait. My interpretation is a far cry from the classic Chuckles. Since his primary MO is criminal investigations with secondary on intelligence to boot; thought he should be more low profile. Sporting a rather non-regulation grooming with a laid back appearance and pack a concealed piece would make him blend in more easily. He's also more seasoned, and alert under the casual appearance. Chuckles is more or less a semi statue unfortunately as I don't want to move the arms too much and hence cracking the paint on the torso. Maybe someday I will do another version with regular nude instead.
I expanded his bio a little more just to encompass the style of my version.
Sergeant Philip Provost was born in Little Rock, Arkansas. Coming from a military family background, Philip moved a lot because of his father's career as an air force pilot. The overseas experience not only broadened his view, but also picked up several languages along the way which proved to be valuable in his future works in intelligence gathering. Philip returned to the States years later; enlisted into army and worked his way to Army CID special agent until being recruited into G. I. Joe.
He's now landed at Honolulu International. Deep down he wishes this was a big wave surfing trip which he usually does during this time of year, but rather it's a crucial intelligence gathering mission on possible Cobra threat which targets Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam(JBPHH), Hawaii. Several avid local surfers who worked at JBPHH with sensitive military clearances recently died in seemingly freak surfing accidents on Oahu's north shores. Two prominent bio-tech researchers from west coast also disappeared around the same time. With USS Flagg battle group just docked at Pearl harbour two days ago in prepare for a classified mission against a secret Cobra base at the Kuril Island chain. General Hawk has reason to believe the missing researchers and dead surfers were part of a plot to launch a preemptive strike against the task force, neutralize the base or maybe even decimate the civilian population on Oahu altogether. Even worse the base could have already been penetrated by Cobra agents. Chuckles volunteered to conduct covert intel gathering mission which starts with the dead surfers. His background in big wave surfing circle makes him the perfect man to snoop on the local surfing communities. JBPHH on the other hand has no idea his real identity and mission, so he will be on his own when trying to access the base.

Now a couple of early wip...sort of...
The muscle body is from our own iyiyyy's ebay outfit. Excellent offering, Kit.
Repainted to a more suntanned skin tone. The adaptor is a quick mode bbi G3 style neck piece. Head is from DML, Stripped/repainted, and rerooted with doll hair. I always save the excess when trimming fashion dolls' hairdo. They will come in handy down the road when doing Bosley on other heads.
The watch is from HT SWAT I believe. Initially painted with chrome marker, but the outcome sucks. So I applied bare metal foil instead, looks so much better.
