so, i was thinking yesterday as i drove from Spokane to Seattle about how throughout the history of Joe their were a lot of "replacements" i.e., Roadblock replaced Rock n' Roll, Bazooka replaced Zap, etc... then i got to thinking, as crappy as a lot of the latter year ARAH figs were, there were still some Gems (like Repeater and Hit & Run) ~ this got me thinking if i could put together a team of later-era ARAH joes that were "replacements" for the O-13... Also trying to choose ones that are "quality" like, sure Capt. Grid Iron seemed like a cool character going off his filecard, but he's absolutely ridiculous looking (imho) so he doesn't make the greatest Hawk analog... Basically, i was looking for figures that looked like they would "fit in" with the 82-86 "glory years" of ARAH
Original 13 = Specialty / Specialty = Replacement
Breaker
= Communications /
was there another com-guy after Dial Tone? the only one i can find is Dee-Jay, and he's horrible
Flash
= Laser Rifle Trooper /
who else fits besides 91 Sci-Fi?
Grunt
= Infantry Trooper / Light Infantryman =
Hit & Run
Rock N Roll
= Machine Gunner / Steadi-Cam Machine Gunner =
Repeater
Scarlett
= Counter Intelligence / Ninja Intelligence =
Jinx
Short-Fuze
= Mortar Soldier / Mortar Man =
Downtown
(kinda torn on who's a better 'fit' between Downtown, who's a bit garish and Hardball, who i definitely like more, but is less of a direct analog)
Snake Eyes
= Commando /
who else fits besides 89 Snake Eyes?
Stalker
= Ranger / Long Range Recon Patrol =
Recoil
(He's one of my favorite late guys with Repeater and Hit & Run)
Zap
= Bazooka Soldier / Anti-armor Specialist =
Salvo
Clutch
= VAMP Driver / Desert Fox Driver =
Skidmark
(his costume is a little flashy with the red but the basic design is solid.)
Grand Slam
= Laser Artillery Soldier / Thunderclap Driver/Artillary =
Long Range
(he's a little too sci-fi for what i was going for, any other suggestions?)
Hawk
= Commander / Strategic Commander =
Col. Courage
Steeler
= Armor/Tank Driver / General Commander =
Major Storm
(check his filecard, he's a great fit and a cool design ~ i'd actually never seen him before today)
anywho, thoughts and suggestions for the open slots? I really couldn't find anyone who made sense to replace Snake-Eyes... Doing this has made me want some figs of a lot of these later guys who didn't suck ~ their are some surprisingly solid designs from later on that i'd really like to see 25th-style updates too (although a lot less Cobras)
