How do you guys deal with Gung-Ho and Leartherneck using the same head in most cases? I used POC Recondo's for both and changed the facial hair at the least and skin tones. Its never been an issue before though because Ive never had both on display at the same time. Now I have potentially a third twin in Recondo, if I leave him as is. So where does your brain fill in the blanks? Are they twin brothers in your case. Or if you use a substitute head for either feel free to list them.

I just ignore it.
I use alot of the same head sculpts for different characters. There's just not alot of original head sculpts to go around so alot of my custom characters share the same heads with Joes. And I use the different uniformed guys as different characters.

I redid his filecard for our contest last year. You can check it out in my profile album. I also did Harpoon(Extreme) and Cool Breeze( made him a Marine, I don't remember if he had an official service designation in the Marvel comics).

However, it won't be an issue (for me) much longer. The SDS Gung Ho head being offered on the next Pre-Order is the greatest GH sculpt of all time. I don't think I'll drop enough cash to replace every GH custom I've done, but my "classic-look" Gung Ho will definitely be getting one. |

If you want to keep him as a Navy Joe and you had to chose between those two specialities- I'd go with the SWCC.
Based on his filecard and the Navy's SWCC site, (Official U.S. Navy SWCC Information Web Site) I'd say that's the better fit. I really like the character but think it was a mistake to make him a sailor. I've re-imagined him as part of my desert team- he mans the weapons console on the Desert Fox (one of the coolest vehicles ever, IMO). |

He even looks the part of a desert guy more then a sailor.

Rampart has never had an update. I'd love to see a Rampart Backblast two pack like Issue #114ish? Maybe a Walmart Battle Station Cobra Bunker into a POC Joe Bunker.
Love the Gung-Hos Sgt Humpty and WeaponX. Gung-Ho is my favorite Joe of all and Hasbro just hasn't made the perfect one yet. I think they are due though. I think the latest Roadblocks are about as perfect as can be made, so if they had made a more accurate Resolute GH instead of the little puny Walmart one I'd be happy. My opinion is that Gung-Ho should be a fairly large individual like Roadblock. I loved the Comic pack Gung-Ho colors. The arms are a little skinny and he seemed a little pale. Plus the Fu-Manchu was missing. I only hope the next one is more traditional camo. If we ever get another. I personally don't have an issue with Leatherneck and Gh sharing the same head sculpt. It seems to fit them both and there are enough differences that they don't look like twins. (IMO) But the POC recondo's head should have been Gung-Ho's.
