So what are your reservations about the HISS and the VAMP, Fogger? You just don't care for the designs? I think what appeals to me about both of them is the suspention systems. That's a really neat feature to me... it's why I liked the AWE Striker so much with the steering. I also just like the new VAMP because it's a big armored Jeep that can carry about 6 Joes. It's well armed and it looks pretty rugged. It's the same reason I liked the Hammer.

Ahhh, there we go! Even the cat loves it! Yeah these closeups reveal the true size. The Vamp looks pretty rugged. I think I'm definitely liking this more and more.

I didn't like Stalker's dreads when I first saw him in Resolute but once I came to accept his appearance as part of the Resolute continuity, I like that this figure matches the cartoon version. It's something different and the Joes seem to do their own thing when it comes to hair or beards.
Something about the HISS just doesn't suit me. Maybe it's too techy or sci-fi for me. I don't know. Yeah, the New HISS is pretty Sci-Fi and techy, but I think it has some neat features - and I've always felt that Cobra needed more Tanks. I think they could be cool Recon vehicles. They're armored, but probably not enough to stand up to Patriot Grizzlies. They're probably pretty fast, and they can pop up from behind a sand dune and get a good look around, and then go back down to lower their profile and speed away.

BTW, I'm LOVING the new AWE Striker. Love the detail of the sand/mud on the tires.
And really loving Night Fox.

Yeah, the new Awe Striker is pretty cool, and I'm excited for all the new character/vehicle drivers. I'd like to see some file cards on them, but I'll probably just be disappointed. What I really mean is that I'd like to see some old school style file cards on them. ;)

Now looking at the Jungle Duke I may have finally gotten an acceptable Sgt Savage.
YOJOE.COM | Battle Command Sgt. Savage Dusty I have to decide. This figure looks great, but his 25th figure is so Iconic I couldn't make that someone else. The New Dusty could be anyone else. Like Spearehead or Capt. Grid-Iron. Stalker will be Quick Stryke for me |

new Dusty w/ k-pot head will be Spearhead for me. lots of potential with this line up.
Oliver- I was reading about ODA teams and MIKE Force organization & if i remember correctly there are 6 ODA and 1 ODB teams per MF. Of the "A" teams one is designated SCUBA and another HALO. The other 4 are "ruck" teams. I've decided to set up my Joes based on this concept. HALO team will have Airborne, Ripcord, Crazylegs, Freefall, Barrel Roll, Air Raid, Cloudburst, Starduster & some Sky Patrol members to round it out. SCUBA will be Torpedo, Wet Suit, Wet Down, Deep Six, Depth Charge, Mariner, Harpoon, Tracker and some original customs to bring it up to 12. Ruck teams will consist of an Amphib Assault (Marines), SWAT & 2 Infantry teams. The ODB or headquarters team will be Hawk and the tech guys. |
