As a Brazillian, collecting joes as a kid was weird thing.
We got lots of exclusive characters, and on the other hand, we missed some staples of the cartoon (not much comics here). That is mostly because Brazil had a closed economy, so Estrela, had to produce the toys here instead of the usual importing. Around 89 the economy re-openned and travelling abroad became a reality. So we started having access to joes we hadn't dream existed. Everyone that travaled to the US brought back joes, he-man, and so on. We of those people in my close group brought back a Downtown. Those joes, got traded up to oblivion so, at least for a period of time I had one. Not a crazy figure. But in our mythos he was a Motorcross Biker (was something to do with the boots and the helmet), it was a huge deal for us, because, we came from a family were dirty bikes run the blood. So, he has a special place in my memories. Now as a adult ME collector, and with the Line looming to a end, I don't see any likebility of the Club or Hasbro, relasing him. So, my ideia is to custom one. I collect some figures and parts that i pretended to use, but stumping on MTF, i really got some ideas, and i would like some input. Intended recipe Head - Caucasian blond Body - Grey tech ops (upper body and arms) + Terra Ops (legs) Harness - Red with black pockets Helmet - Red Tactical Helmet The only things i would be missing are the teal shit and red platings on the boots. At frist i would not paint, but that is an option. Also what do you think would be closer to the blue shit. Grey tech ops, or the Urban Camoflage? Urban camoflage MTF Trooper Body WITHOUT Head GRAY CAMO "Urban-Ops" Version BASIC - 1:18 Scale Marauder Task Force Action Figure Grey Tech ops MTF Trooper Body WITHOUT Head GRAY with Black "Tech-Ops" Version BASIC - 1:18 Scale Marauder Task Force Action Figure |
