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.

Alright, so I'm still working on my SEAL Team...
3 4-man squads: Team 1 1. LT Trident 2. Harpoon 3. Mariner 4. Night Fox Team 2 1. CWO Torpedo 2. Shipwreck 3. Wet-Suit 4. Deep Six Team 3 1. CWO Wet-Down 2. Tracker 3. Snake Doctor (Link Talbot) 4. Depth Charge What do y'all think? I don't know a lot about Harpoon, so any insights would be appreciated.

Me either. I see everyone has him, and he makes perfect sense. I think he is suppose to be Hispanic. His Extreme figure just needs to be forgotten and never mentioned again.
Now we're getting a new Wet-Suit I can use the figure I had as Harpoon. So for me my SEAL platoon is CDR Magnum Lt Topedo Lt Dolphin Wet-Down Link (WO-2) Shipwreck (SCPO) Deep-Six Tracker Wet-Suit Night-Fox Depth-Charge Harpoon Cutter; Mariner; Topside; Rampart; Fridge; Freight; Red-Dog serve as SWCC with the WHALE and The SHARK 9000.

I updated my listing.
Added to SEaLs: Nightfox, Harpoon, Dolphin Added to VBSS: Hammerhead, Trident Need to find a place for Beaver, think he'd be a SEaL and that would put me up to 9. I like being able to break up into 4 man teams though and I don't want to go to 12.

To me, any character named "Trident" has to be a SEAL. Obviously, a trident reminds us all of the Greek god Posidon, or Aquaman, or Maserati...
However, isn't "Trident" what the SEALs call their insignia? The Eagle holding the pistol and the trident... isn't that called a "SEAL Trident". To me, a character named Trident who isn't a SEAL would be a like a character named "Ranger Tab" who wasn't Ranger qualified.

Hadn't thought of it that way. I was just picturing Neptune attacking ships with his trident.

But here's what I'm talking about... It's called a "SEAL Trident".

Yeah, but I still like the image of a guy named Trident attacking a boat.

Right.
So it's a perfect codename for a VBSS guy. Except for that pesky SEaL trident thing..
