Alright, who has gotten a Sky Striker?
Also, when are the new VAMPs with Steel Brigade Delta coming out?

So I found the new Marvel 1:18 figure: Crossbones in Target today when I went to get some Sky Strikers... Good figure, and I wanted to ask what y'all think...
So, the old ARAH "Skullbuster" figure (the leader of the Range Vipers") is a cool character (anybody remember that awesome DDP issue with Skillbuster and Shipwreck?), but his uniform pretty much sucks... seriously - purple, bronze, and light blue highlights? really? So, since I've gotten a pretty big collection of 25th/ROC Range Vipers (not to mention my DTC Ranger Viper horde)... I feel like Skullbuster needs a bit of an update. And I was going to try and paint one of my 25th Ranger Vipers a little differently, but then I found Crossbones tonight... I also was able to grab a few Crossbones figures from the new Captain America line - it's the same figure as the Comic pack, but in different colors (see pics). Anyway, I was thinking of using the comic pack Crossbones as my new ME Skullbuster, and the other CA Crossbones figures as sort of a unit of elite Range Vipers, hand picked by Skullbuster. What do y'all think? I'm open to criticism, fellas. Really.

In my verse Crossbones and Skullbuster are brothers. I'm holding out for a Skullbuster update. Skullbuster has become my favorite Cobra, but I've always been a Crossbones fan, so to me there can be only one.

Nice.
My use of Marvel characters is VERY limited in my Joeverse... it's pretty much Cap and Wolverine. So I didn't really need Crossbones... and I really needed an updated Skull Buster. I like your custom. Is that a modified Mindbender? Is that hair under the helmet?

It's a Build n Brawl Shawn Michaels head, which has the hair like the DDP Skullbuster. The rest is Mindbender, and a Beachhead tact vest.

When he posted them as WIPs I wasn't sure how I felt about that head for Psyche Out, but after seeing the finished product I cant imagine a better head to use. Any plans for a desert camo team? |

I pick all the parts, and then ship them to Marine Deadpool for paint and assembly (which is actually pretty tricky and labor intensive sometimes with making all the parts fit together properly). When I saw the head on Borken Arrow Toys, I figured it would work well for an updated Psyche-Out. I served in PsyOps at Ft. Bragg, so Psyche-Out is pretty important to me, since he and I were both Officers in Special Operations/PsyOps. That's why he's the only member of the ODA Team without a green beret, his is Maroon just like we wear at 4th PsyOps (Airborne). Psyche-Out isn't SF qualified, but as a PsyOper he would attach to an A-Team and deploy with them.
