Yeah, I never liked the gun the original Crazylegs toy came with. The stock would fall off if you so much as looked at it sideways and the barrel was so thin it would get all bent even with just normal everyday play.

The folding stock never seemed to fit right and tan chute pack was god awful but the fact that you wrap the straps around his legs was pretty cool at the time. If we get a CZ with some modern looking HALO gear, that would be awesome. Maybe a removable helmet with detachable oxygen mask.

Here's hoping Hasbro doesn't just reuse the Para-Viper sculpt and equipment for crazylegs.

I wouldn't be opposed to some parts of it - but the Para-Viper as a whole was damn near impossible to get to stand up unassisted, much less pose in any sort of a cool way.

Certainly the purple/neon green/orange combination was a poor choice on Hasbro's part. However, the ROC Black/Red edition was pretty fantastic. Colors aside, in my opinion, Para-Viper is a good as ANY Cobra Troop Builder we've EVER seen.

Alright, so setting the cost issue aside, if you could tell sideshow what figure to make after Hawk comes out, who would it be and why?
I'll start: 1. Low-Light 2. Spirit 3. Torpedo My reasons are the same for all 3: they're all great. I like all those characters. They're all famous/popular enough with the fans to do well... and they would be DIFFERENT enough from what we've been getting to be interesting. What do y'all think?

Gung-Ho! Should be next.
I'm sort of put off by the Blowtorch announcment, but I hope we get one like V2 colors, or maybe like the new IDW one that showed up in Hearts and Minds. I'm hoping he just has gear you can take off and a new headsculpt. I have too many Pit-Trooper Joe Clones as it is. Crazy Legs I hope we get Night-Force, thus starting the trend for the Night-Force characters we're still missing. But I'd be happy if he matches Sky-Dive and Ripcord.

And if it's the latter, I feel like we've had enough Joes in Camo for the time being.

Lady Jaye - Sideshow needs a female figure and I don't think Scarlett will translate well. But you could gear out Lady Jaye and her basic outfit is easy to do.
Airborne - Just because his leg harness and rest of the gear would look bad-ass done by Sideshow (by the same token, Hit 'n Run would rock as well but I think the all-camo would be overpowering) Muskrat/Gung-Ho - both would look cool for the same reasons: simplistic clothing Low-Light - how bad-ass would he look fully geared out?

I find out on Saturday what he looks like. Hasbro's presentation at Toyfair for all their action figure lines is on Saturday.
