Oh, by the way... not to take us too far off topic, but I'm about to ship Marine Deadpool and new group of figures to paint. We may not be able to finish before he deploys, but that's alright. There's no rush.
Anyway, were going to do a Captain Grid-Iron, and I think you guys will really like the updated look. We're doing Chuckles, like I said. Action Force Trent and Footloose. General Colton. and We're getting ready to do Low-Light. It's taken me a long time to figure Low-Light out, and to get the right pieces, but I think I'm going to be very happy with him, and I think you guys will be impressed. He's going to honor the original figure, but he's going to be pretty original. We're also doing an ODA version of Hawk and General Rey. And we're doing the 2 Super Troopers (DeNiro and Lattimer) and Rapid Fire. I think y'all will be impressed with what we've worked out. Anyway, I'll keep y'all posted.

Yeah, the new file cards are just a little better. But let's face it, unless they hire us to write the file cards, they're never going to be what they should be... and if they did hire us, the entire back of the packages would be file cards. ;)
In one of the pictures from the Con, I saw Beach-head's flippers laying next to the figure on display. They attach to the back of his vest. They sort of overlap across his lower back. http://generalsjoes.com/ Last edited by Tanksmasher; 02-14-2010 at 01:16 AM.. |

How many guys in the ODA team now Oliver?
Are those things on the stand the flippers? I was wondering what they were. I love that Dusty comes with two heads.

Generaljoes.com has some better images and it does appear that Beach has some flippers, but I'm not certain. There's a better shot of Duke's right shoulder too and I don't see a tattoo, must be the camo that we saw. Recondo also has some sort of totem mask lying near his feet. Dusty's barbwire is gonna be another cool accessory.
I'm really kind of disappointed about Jungle Duke's legs. Just the one kneepad is weird to me... and I won't use that for customs, even though it's hard to find many legs with uncuffed pants. That's the only problem with the figure I have. For the life of me, why wouldn't Hasbro make a PoC Low-Light? Ask anyone on the Tank... Low-Light's a popular character. And I know I'm biased, but how many Tripwires and Grand Slams do we really need? Oh, and how about the new VAMP? How awesome is that thing!!! And that new HISS Tank is awesome.

The ODA Team is huge. And it's always expanding. The real problem is that it sometimes changes when Hasbro gives us new stuff to work with. Like the new Flint head that's coming in the 7-pack... Awesome. The truth is, from what I can tell from the pictures, the Resolute Flint looks just like me when I was in College... and thin ;)

I love the new VAMP and it is really awesome. I have the prototype for it. It's big, really big. And has different options for putting the guns. Can have the guys standing up in the back seats firing the guns, or have one mounted in the back.
It's also got a winch and cable that works. MTN made me a Resolute custom Flint that is AWESOME, much better then what we're getting, but I am liking it now. Didn't when saw the first pics on the Club, but the in-booth ones, it's not bad at all. Still not sold on Stalker. And I really don't like Scarlett's outfit. Looked okay in the cartoon, looks weird as a figure.

How did you get that new Vamp? Ebay? I bet it's cool. Is it as big as the old Hammer? That's what it reminds me of.

I don't know but we do need a Low-Light. Heck there's many we haven't gotten but I won't get into it. The HISS treads are great but I'm not sold on that design; maybe we'll see treads like that on other vehicles down the road. Cobra still needs a good APC. The Stalker head I like, though I'm hoping for a duller green uniform.

I'm still not crazy about the dreadlocks. I just think Stalker is too much of a Soldier for that kind of foolishness.
I'm surprized that you don't like the new Hiss, Tanksmasher. I think it's really cool.

Can't wait to see your new ODA recruits, Oliver. Maybe if these waves go off the chart like I'm thinking they will, they might bring back a small vintage line just to finish of the "unsung" heroes. But I'd be just as happy with a Resolute or POC Low-Light if he gets the Beach Head treatment.
