I'm giving serious consideration to getting 5 more figures for my Joe collection to take it to a nice round 100.
I'm thinking of getting DEF Shockwave, V3 and 4 of Duke, V3 Dusty and either Ace v2 or 3. BUT, I'm going to rename them all. I'm going to put DEF Shockwave (or 'Siren') as my 4th MP guy with Law & Order, Mutt and Junkyard and Shockwave v1. Siren will be an AF Security Police SRT member recruited to the Joes. Ace will become my back-seater for the Skystriker. A USMC aviator called 'Banshee'. Dusty v3 will become 'Dune-Runner' and join Dusty v1 in my new Desert Warfare squad. Dukes V3 and 4 will become part of the Desert Warfare team as well. Just trying to decide on names. Thinking one to be 'Sand Panther' a USMC guy and the other, I need a name for. Alpine will then join the Arctic Warfare squad with Snow Job, Sub-Zero, Frostbite, Iceberg, Blizzard and Stalker, whilst Muskrat, Pathfinder, Recondo and Outback will switch from being the 'Extreme Conditions' squad with Dusty and Alpine, to being Jungle Warfare. I'm also going to rename Wet Suit v4 as either Neptune or Poseidon. any suggestions for names for the Dukes are welcome. |

Anyone ever consider making the jungle specialists all part of a dive team? It sort of fits in the whole littorals environment.

I have been at the suggestion of a few of the members on here. The Joe team lacks a lot of Combat Diver qualified characters. The only ones confirmed seem to be: Snake-Eyes Torpedo Gung Ho (if a former Force Recon) Wet-Suit Leatherneck (if a former Force Recon) Tracker Link Talbot Wet Down Harpoon Ice Storm Night Fox Good possibilities: Stalker (if used as a former Special Forces soldier) Beach Head (otherwise why use this type of codename for him?) Muskrat Recondo Shipwreck (if used as a former SEAL) Outback Former Special Forces Joes who could have been assigned to a SCUBA ODA: Duke Flint Drop Zone Falcon The Joe team definitely has more than enough Mobility guys, especially if you factor in Armor, Heavy Weapons and Desert guys. |

I sort of follow that same philosophy with the Jungle guys. They are all part of the same team for me with the Marines and the SEALs. It seems like a good assumption as well with the SF guys.
Don't forget: Deep-Six Mariner Hollow-Point Sgt Stone? Movie Lt. Stone (extreme) Non-Marine/Seals Wreckage Big Brawler Mutt Pathfinder Other guys I like: Crosshairs (seems Jungle to me) Heavy-Duty Bench=Press Dart Tunnel-Rat Other Suggestions: Cool-Breeze as a Marine Topson Shimik Beaver Barracuda

if you're going to include AF:
Leviathan - Deep Sea diver Shark - commando frogman Surfer - his file says he's a seaborne rescue specialist. Concievably includes diving Phones - his file says he's the ex-leader of a specialist survival school, possible including diving. Dolphin - May be a submariner, but he's supposed to be a underwater attack specialist... |

I didn't want to get to far with the Action Force guys, but I use all of those guys accept Leviathan. Not sure why. I guess I don't like the name although he is the Leader of Q-Force isn't he?
Surfer is a Boat operator for me. I didn't know about the Survival school bit, but he sits on the boats manning the radios. Shark and Dolphin are SBS in my verse.

Leviathan was the CO in the comics, but none of the toys were designated as such.

I would be uncertain about making Mutt Combat Diver qualified only because of his MOS of being a Military Working Dog handler. I could see him as part of a Mobility or HALO team instead (I know MWD's can do static-line jumps and I believe I saw a video of one doing a HALO insertion if I am not mistaken). Oh and I had to post this: SAS sniper in Iraq kills 5 ISIS jihadis with 3 bullets as 1 makes suicide vest explode | Daily Mail Online Way to go SAS! |
