I'm very excited to be played by Mr. Tom Selleck. I hope they make this movie soon before he dies of old age.
Here's a question: I've always thought that General Flagg looked a lot like General MacArthur. I think that was intentional. How much do we even know about General Flagg's bio, and how much like Gen. MacArthur was he? |

I was referring to the Flagg that helped start the Joe Team and hired Hawk. I know they made a figure of his son around '93 or so. Can you tell me a little about each of the 3 characters you mentioned?

How about Hit & Run for Cornerback. He's pretty fast. Beach-Head might work as a Linebacker. Stalker might be a good Runningback. But what about Checkpoint and Major Barrage? Weren't they wrestlers in college? They should work as Defensive Ends... they're probably good at sacking the QB.

I don't know if we ever learn anything about Flagg senior, but Flagg II is the General that appears in the early comics so we'd have to pull info about him from there mostly since all the file cards I believe are of his son. The 2004 Flagg figure is clearly Flagg II from the comics, but the file card says it's his son.

Also, what do we know about the naming of the USS Flagg? Was it based on the first Gen Flagg or the second? |

Yeah, I meant Flagg II - the guy who started the Joe Team. He always looked like MacArthur to me? Any similar personality traits?

Yeah, I thought he had 3 stars. Can anyone confirm that?

Hey Guys,
This is a bit unrelated, but if you have time check out this thread and vote... http://www.hisstank.com/forum/genera...nake-eyes.html I voted for Snake-Eyes and I encourage you to do the same. For one thing, this is a G.I. Joe Thread. Secondly, I would appreciate the support because there's been a lot of haters on that thread. Thanks, fellas.

I imagine General Flagg II would share some of the traits of the Civil War Confederate Lt. General James Longstreet, for which I'm assuming he is named by the writer.

Yeah, I certainly agree with the idea that he was named for James Longstreet, and the VMI connection seems to support that. Good Catch on that one. I just meant that his whole look with the Aviator glasses remind me of MacArthur. Did Flagg also smoke a pipe?
