Looks like that's going to be the future of Hasbro's movie line driver figures. Had the same issue with the Captain America vehicle figures. The combat cruiser driver would have been really nice with full articulation.

Man I was going to join the Articulation thread but it got out of hand. I was making breakfast and boom closed. It got ugly. Still that's a bad idea. They could reuse any part they want to make those figures, even if they regurgitate the Resolute Snake-Eyes and Duke molds. Might as well not put any figures in there if they want to save money. I think I'll start a poll/petition.

I've been thinking about my secret society set up and this is what I've decided...so far.
The Society of the Coiled Serpent started in ancient Egypt where some say it was begun by exiles from Ancient Atlantis. Some Egyptian priests spread the word of their society throughout the world creating analogous societies in Ancient China, India, Norway and even the Americas. The Society was initially ruled by a small council until Phillip II of Macedon took over and proclaimed himself the first High Lord or Serpentor. His son Alexander inherited the mantle after him. This began a carefully controlled bloodline that has wound its way through some of history's greatest leaders and figures. The current society is broken down into houses named after an important historical figure. Each of these Noble houses has a High Lord Commander. Underneath each house are smaller houses. These smaller houses act as banner men for their high lord and there is ALOT of political jousting between them. Houses have come and gone as the world's history has unfolded. House Macedon - The first house and the home of the ceremonial leader the Serpentor. House Alexander (Greece / Egypt / Middle East) House Julius (Italy and the mediterranean) House Attila (Austria / Germany / Hungary) - The Duchess of Mklavia, Iron Klaw and SKAR House Khan (India / Pakistan / West Asia) - Khalikhan House Tepes (Eastern Europe) - The Baroness, Crystal Ball is one of her bannermen from a lesser house House Bonaparte (France / Portugal and Spain) - The Crimson Twins took over this house thru guile House Montezuma (Sth America) - Vargas House Vasileyivich (Russia) - KOBRA LA and Golobulus House Hannibal - Unknown House Rasputin (the Usurper) - Cobra Commander forced his way into the society by taking control of the newest house backed by the Baroness and the Crimson Twins House Sun Tzu (North Asia) - Oda Santori and two unknown houses representing the UK and North America. I need to catch up on my history to work out all the lesser houses etc. What do you guys think?? |

Nice Tyroc.
North America house plug Lee, Lee family - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia First Families of Virginia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Virginia has a rich history of old wealthy families whose second sons settled there. Virginia at one point encompassed all WV Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky. It's a start.

How does Clan Destro fit into the society. House Hannibal would seem to encompass Darklonia, Latveria(Dr Doom)

Thanks Loose,
The Lee family sounds great Clan Destro has known about the society for generations but always from the outside looking in. They're not part of it but have exerted influence especially amongst the lower houses. Reading up on Snake cults, I found an opposing Indo Aryan cult centered around the Garuda (birds of prey). Gave me a whole new perspective on Hawk, Falcon, Eagle Eye (Colton) etc. I think having these guys as part of a rival cult might be a bit too trite but I think I'll work it in so that maybe this rival group shares information with the Joes but are not linked with them |

Love the historical societies, Tyroc. Nice touch.
So I'm disappointed about the lack of articulation in some figures but I love the camo-faced Rock (Roadblock)! Probably my favorite so far. |
