Damn Zulu. If ever they make another Navy themed Joe they're going to have to pay you royalties. Maybe that's why they choose Night-Fox for their lastest Naval Joe.

So with the recent announcements about Blowtorch and Crazylegs, what are you guys anticipating we'll see and what would you like to see?
I wouldn't mind a classic Crazylegs, but with the quality of the recent POC waves I'd love to see a new design. The only problem with the original was the lack of detail and the fact that his vest and helmet were red. I wouldn't mind the color so much if it were subdued or darkened or if it were regulated to just the helmet or perhaps elbow/knee pads, but too much red makes him an easy target when rappelling onto a hot LZ. As for gear, I'm undecided as to whether he should come with a parachute and harness or perhaps just a helicopter assault harness since he always seemed like the replacement character for Airborne. He's a Ranger and Forward Observer so I'd love to see Hasbro pay homage to the latter MOS and give him some long-range thermal binoculars, laser ranger finder, radio and so on. As for Blowtorch, I don't know what to expect. Flamethrowers are obsolete, so there's no real modern equivalent to draw inspiration from for his design. I actually wouldn't mind seeing him filling a different combat role, such as CBRN or something. But then that closes the gap for Airtight. |

I think we'll still see Blowtorch as a flamethrower. Charbroil, in RoC, was still listed as a flamethrower.
As long as Crazylegs comes with a folding stock gun then I'll be happy.

Dang - I had to look up his original gun to see what you were talking about. Apparently I lost the stock so early that it never registered as being there.

Folding gun stock would be awesome; I would also prefer Night Force colors as opposed to the red/light grey.

Never was a big Crazylegs fan. He was the only Joe toy I ever returned as a kid. I liked the fact that he had a freefall parachute set-up, but his colors and gun were too awkward for me.
