Hey, I finally got my Tiger Force Outback in the mail. Shipped from the UK. I've been waiting for this fig for a long time. Probably the coolest, though far from realistic, Joe I've seen. I've always loved Outback and finally got the international version. And he's complete except for the flashlight...and the the strap on his gun was cut off. But the paint is in really good condition.
Tiger Force was always one of my very favorite subteams. I really like it. In my Joeverse, they are the permanent Joe presence in Sierra Gordo. If you're in Tiger Force, you live in Sierra Gordo.

Oh, and just to let you boys know how much of an influence y'all have had on my custom Joes...
I finished the following O-Ring custom of established characters... Rapid Fire Super Trooper (Eagle) Captain Grid-Iron Hollow Point I worked with them, and kept ordering parts and working with them some more to get them where I wanted them to be. I'm really very happy with the way they turned out. I'll try to get pics soon if y'all are interested. Hollow Point was a real Headache. That BTR head had to be trimmed a lot to get it to fit into a classic ARAH torso, but it worked. I honestly couldn't be more pleased with how they all turned out. I appreciate you guys pushing me to do it. One side note, Troynos, I kept Grid-Iron's helmet. I just couldn't resist. I love that helmet, and I thought about you when I made the decision to keep it ;) However, with his new tactical uniform, it really doesn't look that bad, and he'll be a great figure to lead my Ranger detachment.

The Super Trooper - I'm painting his original shield black. My brother, G.I. Jon, and I talked about it and he made the point that Super Trooper just isn't Super Trooper without his shield. I think he has a valid point. That shield is just iconic for his character. So I'm painting it black and keeping it for my new edition of Super Trooper. I hope to have pics soon, if anyone is interested.

Was it just about Vietnam? I saw a preview for it once in a G.I. Joe comic. The preview made it seem like it was almost about the history of the USMC. Like there was this one family that had always been in the Marine Corps. Is that true about the comic? What's it like?

Hey, speaking of Super trooper I had a file card related thought. There are a few Joes who, according to their file cards, have won the Congressional Medal of Honor. (Duke, Rapid Fire, and Super Trooper? etc.) I was wondering if the Joes became ineligible for winning the CMH after joining the Joes because if fell under black ops. I don't know the ruling on that. Anyways, here is my question: In your opinion what action taken by any Joe over the years is worthy of a CMH. Please list the Joe and a specific action.
