If you read his file card, it says he is proficient in all modern weapons, including attack helicopters. So he must have been an Apache pilot. It also says he's proficient in LAWs, but in parentheses it says Light Armored Weapons. This must be a mistake because a LAW is a Light Anti-tank Weapon like the M72. Or maybe they meant to say LAV (Light Armored Vehicle) but the LAV-25s are driven by Marines.

Here's my favorite, Barbeque, PLEASE READ:
"BARBEQUE is what you call your basic party animal. He can open bottles with his teeth, pick up quarters with his ears and wrap his lips completely around the bottom of a quart soft drink bottle. You may well ask how all this affects his function as the G.I. Joe team's firefighter. It doesn't. It simply makes him a more interesting fellow to have around." In the words of Joey Lawrence.... "WHOA!" |

"WHOA!" I never liked Barbecue, and yet when I went back and picked him up I see why he was a cool figure as a kid. He was the one single carded figure I did not buy in 85. My brother had one and loved him. I hated any figure that didn't have a gun. There weren't too many extra weapons to be had. |

These are fighting men, they need fighting weapons. Even Bazooka should have a gun. Tripwire needs a gun. Hawk needs a rifle, the sidearm just doesn't cut it. I went to Marauders Inc and got a bunch of M4s for the Joes to use.

Too bad the 7 pack doesn't have him. Although I love the new 7 pack. I hope they start on another one with the few characters missing that are left. |

I didn't hate them, but it majorly annoyed me.

Footloose is one of the remaining characters that I'd really like to see (along with the others listed in my signature), and at this point he may be my top pick.

General Rey or General Flagg as Base Commander?
I see Gen. Colton as overall Joe commander. Hawk is CO of the North American/Main Base. There are 3 other bases/units. South American (Sierra Gordo), Asian (not sure where), European (not sure where). Smaller bases in the Arctic and Trucial Abysmia (desert). The 4 main bases have Generals, smaller bases, not sure... So Rey, Flagg II and are there any other Generals? Flagg Sr. too if he's not dead in your Joeverse. It's too bad they didn't make Austin or Hollingsworth. After that you may have to depend on Courage and Payload, Sure-fire, Barrage, Major Storm, Skystiker, and Bulletproof. |

Hardball!! Heck yeah, did anyone see the youtube video someone made called the Scarlett Letter, its stop motion with original figures. It is great, unfortunately the best scene 7/8 got removed because of some b.s. music copywrite infringement. Anyway, Hardball is the star. Ive been trying to get in touch with the creator to get a copy, if I do I will share.
