I agree. Some of the Faces are terrible. From what I saw before they took it down was that Ripcord, Heavy Duty and Shipwreck all looked pretty good. I still wonder if the Viper Commando Figure has a removable Helmut. What will probably suck will be the File Cards. I'm sure they'll be bad. But then we'll have to make up our own.

It's bad. It's very bad. So yeah, we have our work cut out for us. After Resolute comes out, we'll have to redo those cards. And then after the movie, we'll have to redo those.

I'm hoping the faces are far enough apart from the vintage so we have access to new "heads" for new Joes.
Kitbashing new Joes is a pain when they all look alike.

Air Support for each Assault Team would be 2-3 Skyhawks (easily the best Joe vehicle for launching/landing in any environment/condition/landscape). <B>I Agree<\B>
Jets and helicopters would provide overall operation air support. Each team would have 2-3 Armadillos and some RAM cycles. APC or Warthogs to move troops around. So each team can pack up and move around as required. Yeah, fueling is a big problem. No "homebase" to resupply at. So fuel, ammunition, etc.. would be big problem. So that leads to the creation of the Joe Support Team. All new characters and equipment. Heavily armored supply truck/tank (I'm thinking 1/2-track). 1 would be a fuel truck, the other would be ammunition carrier. Have to be heavily armored so stray rounds don't make 'em go boom. There'd be a mobile protection team assigned to the vehicles (jeeps and motorcycles). Helicopters and Jets provide air cover as required. This could be an entirely greenshirt unit, but I think it works best as a Joe/greenshirt unit. Drivers, unit commander, and 1-2 others are Joes. The rest of the "protection" team is made up of greenshirts. The Joes don't have VTOL airplanes like the Rattler and the Hurricane. Although the Tiger Rat should be used way more often. Still like you said the SkyHawk is a perfect vehicle for trouncing around the globe. Plus they have Locust and the SkyStorm seems pretty compact. I've always dreamed of a supply/support team/element. I think there are a lot of existing joes that should fall into this category. This should be Tollbooth's or Steam Roller's team but New characters are always welcome by me. Maybe a Jessica Lynch Tribute figure. The EOD guys may travel with this team as well, but guys with the Flamethrowers serve little purpose other than Engineering. I think all those guys would be better served if they were reassigned to this team. Barbecue too. |

I hadn't considered RAMs cuz i dont really like the way the figures fit on them (willing to give that a second look, now) but hawks, dillos & strikers all make up my assault force. something about the seeing them all being the same color together is very cool. |

I really like the gear, especially the helmet w/NV goggles. The movie head is different enough, I'll probably use him as a new charecter.

By the way who is playing the Shipwreck character? I don't recognize him, or actually I can't put my finger on it. |

Look at the cards shown in the new front page article, for Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow.
HORRIBLE!!! No clue who's playing Shipwreck. Topside, the AWE (driven by Crankcase) would be part of one of the Assault Teams, it would be that team's jeep/fast moving vehicle unit. The VAMP would be another one, with the other jeeps in the other teams. Armadillos and RAM cycles would make up the rest of the vehicles.

Yeah, I'll be passing on that unless we get much better looking pictures later.
