The Club catches a lot of flack around the Tank, but I'm really glad for the Club. We've gotten characters/figures that Hasbro would have never given us, and considering the constraints that Hasbro gives them, they've done a great job and they're continuing to give us old characters that we like. I'm sure they'd like to give us other, more popular older characters... but I'm sure Hasbro says things like, "Well, we may want to use that character/code name, so you can't make that figure."

Looking at the new Renegades wave of figures..
So how are you guys using the figures? Duke - ??? Ripcord - Static Line Law - Law (since there isn't an ME style one yet and RoC one is being used as someone else) Tunnel Rat - ??? Scarlett - Scarlett (best one yet, get to retire the others) T-Rat looks more like a mechanic or construction then front line soldier. Duke looks more like IED or technician of some kind.

I think Law and Airtight look like they'd fit right in with the 25th/PoC/30th figures. Law almost looks too detailed to be a Renegades figure, and Airtight is practically the high-detailed version of his first incarnation (inplastation?).

All my figures go together in my army regardless of line (25th, RoC, PoC, Resolute, Renegades, 30th, etc..).
In the case of multiple Dukes (for example) if the different figures look fairly different then they become new characters or fill a gap in the existing Joe ranks (figure that hasn't come out yet). 25th Duke = Duke City Strike Duke = Alley Way Resolute Duke = ??? Artic Resolute Duke = Glacier Resolute Duke w/ Glider = Drop Zone Renegades Duke = ??? And even some that look alike (head sculpts) get changed to new characters if body is different enough. Roadblock = Roadblock Urban Roadblock (ARAH v2) = Double Blast

I use Resolute Duke as "Lt Stone" from Extreme, although he is a Major in my verse.
I replace Arctic Duke with another Green Shirt for Sub-Zero. then took the head and pit it on a Pit Commando and viola Psyche-Out.

I put the heads of Arctic Duke (w/ snowboard), Ice Storm, and ROC Shipwreck on Low-Light bodies to make a team of SEALs. I may make the Marauder's Low-Light a Delta sniper, perhaps Low-Light's twin brother. And POC Duke is Fast Rope, a Ranger Squad Leader. Not sure what to do with all the others. Renegades Duke could be EOD.

Renegades Scarlett is going to be my default Scarlett. Like the outfit alot more then her standard spandex leotard thing.
Not sure what to do with the Marauders yet. Falcon will be someone new but the others will probably not be new characters, not different enough for me and don't really have a use for another firefighter figure anyways. I still need to get the Mission Brazil con set figures.

It's so weird, because some of them look like they are wearing plastic clothes and have simpler features. Duke, Scarlett, and CC just look so simple/cartoony, while L&O and Ripcord seem to be leaning more to the detailed/realism side. Then there's Tunnel Rat who seems to have some detailed sculpt but overly simple colors. The worst, in terms of being "cartoony," is CC with his stylized coat wrinkles.
For Scarlett, I just put her 25th comic pack head on the the 25th Lady Jaye's body (the ugly one with no wrist articulation). The result is a Scarlett with a little more functional/feasible military-ish outfit. On the other hand, putting Ugly LJ's head on comic Scarlett's body is a crime against nature.

Not that I've actually seen any at retail but I agree that the Renegades stuff looks "cartoony". I really like Law though and would love to find him so that I can add him to my SWAT team.
I like the concept of Duke but the sculpt looks too small. Same with Scarlet. |
