Gentlemen, I've had a new idea for my next Custom Project with Marine Deadpool: G.I. Joe SEAL Team
So, I'm trying to figure out the roster, and I need a good list of all the qualified SEALs on the Joe team. Here's who I've got so far... 1. Torpedo 2. Shipwreck 3. Wet-Suit 4. Tracker 5. Wet Down 6. Link Talbot - who needs a code name... sugestions Am I missing anyone? So I'm thinking about Torpedo first... y'all remember DTC Torpedo from a few years ago... they used the same "cover alls" for Torpedo and Low-Light... So, I'm thinking I'll use some of the parts from the new POC Low-Light for my Torpedo figure. Probably just the legs, but I think those would work well because I'm really interested in doing SEALs like the new Convention Wet-Suit... Warriors that can go on the land or water. Any suggestions/help would be much appreciated. |

Depth Charge isn't technically a SEaL though right?

Yeah maybe you're right. UDT is what's listed, but that doesn't mean he can't be a SEAL. Afterall, they are all trained in underwater demolitions.

Stalker is the only one so far that has really piqued my interest. SE would have been a buy for me if he had come with the commando head.

I'd probably make Depth Charge part of the team because more members are needed.
Unless want to start throwing in Action Force members: Beaver, Dolphin

It makes sense to make him a SEAL anyway because UDTs were phased out in 1983 and re-designated SDV Teams, which consist of BUD/S trained SEALs. But of course you could pair him up with Deep Six and make him a part of an EOD Dive Team.

As for the SEALs, thank you to all you guys for your suggestions. I had totally forgot about Night Fox, and Harpoon and Mariner are Awesome suggestions. I also like the suggestions of Hammerhead/Orca for Link Talbot. And the name Trident would be a great custom... So let's see... 1. Torpedo* 2. Wet-Suit 3. Shipwreck 4. Tracker 5. Wet Down* 6. Link Talbot 7. Harpoon 8. Mariner 9. Night Fox 10. Trident There's enough here for 2 teams of 5! Torpedo and Wet Down are both CWO's, so they would be the team leaders. This could work out really, really well. And, if I were to include Deep Six (and let's face it, his ROC figure was basically a SEAL-type of figure) and Depth Charge that would bring the total to 12... that's 2 teams of 6, which is perfect for the SEALs.

I hate to say it but based on the fact that both cards share the line about "spot on the American team" I think this is just another example of Hasbro not caring or being to lazy to fully develop a new character and instead just give us a rehash.
Having said that- its your verse, use Jim McDonald as you see fit. I love to see guys from the UK/ Australia collaborating with the Joes. I'm trying to flesh out an entire squad of SAS/ SBS/ Royal Marines to cover the European station for the Joes. My thougts are that they would deal primarily with Destro/ Iron Grenadiers. Quote:
Basically, I figure there are 3 UK members of the Joe Team in American Continuity: Big Ben, Action Man, and now Windchill v2.

I use Sure Fire as the Squadron Commander for Military / Law Enforcement types. There are 4 troops (16 men per troop) in the Squadron and is broken down into;
Criminal Anti Terrorism Investigation Troop (all the COPS characters I want to one day make customs for) Tactical Response Troop (the SWAT guys) Offshore Assault Troop (led by Cutter, mostly USCG, Seals and Marines) Counter Proliferation Troop or a Cyber Emergency Response Troop, I haven't decided yet. I'm on a wait and see what figures we get this year
