Man, I suppose I've been waiting/fishing for complements/congratulations... but that's pretty childish.
I wanted to tell you guys: The Custom ODA Team that Marine Deadpool made and posted to a thread a few days ago... he made those for me. I'm the Tanker who ordered those from him and I'm pretty excited about them. He also sent me some pictures of the Kamakura he's been working on... amazing. He's also working on a custom Claymore figure for me to fit in with that team. I just wanted to share that with y'all. I'm very excited about it.

I can't wait to see your Kamakura and Claymore. Now I am Jealous. I need to get a picture of my customs. I just got my Cobra de Aco by SPC Airborne today and My Invasor by Echobase Collectables. I still need a good Kamakura and I'm not quite happy with my Gen Rey. |

They'll probably sit on display in my office. They'll be a great conversation piece and they represent the Joe team as I see it. About Urzor - yeah. I finally got one from ebay. It took a while. I'm very glad to have him. I'm using him as a new character named "Tracer" from New Mexico. I assigned him as the Machine Gunner for my Regular Joe Infantry - he'll work with the Rangers under Grid-Iron. I was really glad to finally find him. I felt like making him a Joe for a few reasons... 1. He's not an American figure, sand I didn't feel bound by the Brazilian continuity. 2. He doesn't look like a Cobra to me - probably because he looks too much like Repeater 3. The Rangers needed a Machine Gunner because Repeater works for Night Force, Roadblock is on Tiger Force and Night Force, and Rock & Roll is the SGM of my Regular Joe Army.

I just went back and looked at that ODA team. Now I'm SOOO jealous. I feel like all the joes should have camo of that type. And I see who you look as the perfect team. If he could head swap one of those guys with the black haired Green Shirt you got Torpedo. Do you think he can make two Claymores? Kamakuras?

I was wondering if those were yours Oliver. They are great looking figures. I'm curious how much they were, but none of my business, lol.
In a real military unit, no matter how good he was, would Snake-Eyes have a role? The no-talking is kind of a liability. I suppose could always use morse code to communicate to HQ and not being able to talk makes noise discipline easier. But still.. Wouldn't he have been honorably discharged?

Okay I redid my starting 12.
Took out Salvo, Doc, Breaker and Snake-Eyes. For anti-armor, they could always carry LAW rockets or something with them. Falcon is a combat medic. They all can use a radio. And Snake-Eyes just doesn't fit anymore. Falcon Flint Roadblock Beachhead Recondo Torpedo Shockwave Tunnel Rat Scarlett Hit & Run Stalker Crankcase I added Crankcase because he's a Ranger and has had special driving instruction. These guys are going to need someone that can get 'em out of any situation. So Crankcase fits the bill. I debated between Freefall, Airborne, Crazylegs, Ripcord and Hit & Run. But I figured any of the Joes could receive HALO training so that meant Freefall and Ripcord were out. Airborne and Crazylegs can be covered by the Airborne Rangers and Flint. And Hit & Run being part of 10th mountain seemed like he'd be more useful. Now thinking if should replace Hit & Run with Alpine.

Out of the 25th figures released, who would be a good one to pair up with Tripwire as he goes about his duties laying mines and/or disarming 'em?
