Anyway, I'm thinking of taking pics of the
Retaliation Ninja Dojo Pack Beachhead
figure and mocking it up in digicam like I did for the Retaliation GI Joe Trooper. The figure would be a great army builder/custom base if it wasn't so damned expensive/inconvenient to buy/find multiples. (I don't mind the Vulcan Raven-looking Roadblock that comes in the pack—if nothing else, it feels like I'm getting my money's worth in the amount of sheer plastic—but the haphazardly designed Kamakura, with the ill-fitting hood and odd choice of webgear, is sort of annoying.)
I'm thinking the new Retaliation Ultimate Duke will make a good looking Red Spot Update with the alternate head. As for the Dojo pack, that Beachhead would make a great update for any figure. I've been using him as Sneak Peak, and using the Roadblock from that pack as an updated Dojo (Ninja Force) He's big and bald. Kamakura on the other hand is pretty terrible. I use him as as Bushido for now.
