Great picture! I am working on the 1/6 scale version of the GI JOE NAVY SEAL roster myself. I'm unfamiliar with "the Chin" and "Mariner". Have you come acrossed "Topside"?
The Chin is a character I imported from the TV show Burn Notice. On the show, Sam Axe is an often drunk, over-the-hill SEAL who helps the main character in his adventures. The actor (Bruce Campbell) is nicknamed The Chin because of a scar on his chin, that he got during his childhood. I liked the character on the show, so I kind of hijacked him for my Joe Team.
Mariner was introduced in the DDP run of G.I. Joe comics as a Chief Petty Officer specializing in amphibious warfare.
I'm familiar with Topside, but I didn't include him here because he's not a SEAL.
