I was thinking about Sandstorm, and realize we won't see him most likely in that form, but realized that the Zartan disguise is Sandstorm correct? So he's sort of part of the story somewhere. At any rate he's an MP in desert fatigues.
Wait didn't we just get a Zartan in diguise as an MP in Desert fatigues From Toys'r'us? Well unfortunately like many of us I used the head to make Repeater. But I added an extra Sgt Stone head(Red Beret) to that body. I'm naming that MP Law. (More Identifiable looking) The one who is in fact suppose to be Law but looks like a Pit Trooper is now my Sandstorm. But when I get Zartan's extra head I may do yet another head swap. I miss the figure but I get the character. But any head will work just to add the character. *FYI I also took an extra Black Repeater body added an extra Firefly head and using my brown Sharpie colored the skin brown...Voila Desert Wolf the Sigma 6 Ranger. I love new characters. Now what about Ice Storm? I tend not to buy many of the snow characters, but how many Snow Jobs do we need? Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome.

I look everyday. I know a few Hundred must have made it to the stores in the Philippines, but that was it. I wish there was a way to get him back in the lineup.
For some reason his cancellation pisses me off more than the Night Force Falcon. It shouldn't, but it does. I suppose I'll get over it.

Is he?
YOJOE.COM | G.I. Joe Ranger (Desert Wolf) No file name given. I was sort of thinking the same thing. Maybe he's Puerto Rican? Or mixed? Or seriously tanned. No filename given. (Sigma 6 cards are only slightly worse than the new POC/ROC crap) Well I guess we can only speculate. But it seems like a waste of a good figure (My Extra Black Repeater.) My kitbash isn't any darker skinned than the Sigma Six figure. Plus there aren't enough black Joes or Puerto Rican Joes for that matter. I'll try to add a photo.

Someone on here did a NICE kitbash custom for Sandstorm.
They used the head, goggles and vest from the Desert Zartan and put it on a Jungle Assault Ripcord body without JA's tact vest. It looked pretty cool. I think I'm going to do that. Sandstorm the figure was nothing special, easy enough to make (RA Duke w/ Airraid helmet and paint), but yeah, I like OFFICIAL new characters. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...ke-my-own.html Got the body wrong, but it still came out pretty cool.

On the other hand, I think you guys are going to be impressed by my Low-Light customs. ;)

Low-Light > Sandstorm in head priority.

The difference is where originate from (mexico or latin america) I believe.
I always thought he was african-american. I think Zulu has him as that in his project.

This is exactly the same math I came up with. I just hope y'all are as pleased with the Low-Light we're making as I am. We've come up with a really cool "modern era" design. So many guys have done a great job of creating a 25th version... and as great as that is, I just wanted something a little more unique, but also paid homage to the original.
