First- Huge huge props to Alyosha, this is one of his best full figure casts I have ever purchased. The parts and the construction are so spot on I had to have it. The plastic feels so much like a real joe from big H...its incredible

Second- Cobra Stickers- I can't say enough about those guys, their stickers and selection of said stickers is tremendous. Their military rank patches are awesome for military officers/generals. They are cut so small!

Without both of those 2 awesome custom parts suppliers, I would have a huge hole in my ME 1987 era figures without this guy! He was in my top 5 of most favorite Joes ever from ARAH.

If they released this figure, there would be none on the shelves anywhere. People would buy them en masse and pop another head on it. Hasbro doesn't know what it is missing. My vote for next year's SDCC exclusive.

Looks awesome. It's too bad they put the wrong insignia on the original. I'd prefer to see the correct E-7 chevrons but this is an excellent nod to the original as it was, and the rifle is a nice touch.

yeah, I went for a direct ME homage for the ARAH figure. I have the E-7 Chevrons, cobra stickers has E-4 - E-9 on the sticker sheet.

Mind bogglingly cool! I've had my version maybe three quarters done for a year or two, just never finished it up. This sucker is stupendous!
