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?
We should see how they turned out in a few weeks.

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? As for price, they're all priced separately and differently depending on how much work he puts into each figure. Duke and Flint cost more than Beach-Head and Stalker because he had to spend more time with the camo. He works out prices individually depending on what you want, but he isn't cheap. Honestly, he's one of the two best customizers I know. I really like his work. It's worth the money. The Falcon you saw in the pictures is different from the one he's making for me. I'm going to have him use Tiger Force Flint and add a neck scarf and Falcon's gear. That way he gets the Gloves and the watch... so in a few weeks you'll be able to see the completed team 10 person team. I'm pretty excited. Originally it was just going to be 8, but the Claymore head came up as a last minute opportunity, and Marine Deadpool offered to make me a Marine Sniper because I really wanted one. Claymore Falcon Flint Duke Beach-Head Stalker Roadblock Snake-Eyes Kamakura *New Character: Marine Sniper (Code Name?) They're the newest Sub-Team of my Joeverse: The A-Team - their mission: Guard my Office and look good doing it!

After I get all these bought and paid for, when the new 7 packs come out, I may get Marine Deadpool to make me a custom Recondo and Outback to match the team. Those guys are two of my very favorites and I think they would fit in with a Special Forces A-Team very well. I know we've had long conversations on this thread about Recondo as a possible Green Beret.
I think I'll ask him to paint Recondo's and Outback's pants the same woodland camo. Out back's t-shirt will probably end up black with some kind of Logo/phrase on it. Probably not "Survival", but maybe something like "Ranger" or "Special Forces". Recondo's shirt is a little bit of a question for me. It could, of course, just be painted camo and it would match very well. However, the original character had that two-toned look that made him so great. Maybe a solid green Safari shirt would look good? I think it would fit in and still pay homage to the original... what do y'all think?

I'd have to go with Tunnel Rat. Beach-Head wouldn't have the patience to deal with Tripwire.

Yeah, green safari shirt with the woodland camo would look awesome.

Tunnel Rat will work for now. Quick display going to work on with Tripwire (have some ground effects that will work), so will probably end up taking Rat out at some point since will probably use him for something else.

The figures from 2000/2001 two-packs, the colors on most of 'em are great, a nice dark green.
YOJOE.COM | Dial Tone YOJOE.COM | Duke YOJOE.COM | Sidetrack YOJOE.COM | Dusty YOJOE.COM | General Tomahawk YOJOE.COM | Crossfire YOJOE.COM | Double Blast YOJOE.COM | Gung Ho YOJOE.COM | Big Brawler YOJOE.COM | Tripwire They have a pretty consistent look. And the mix.. They'd make a pretty good subteam. edit: I got the Big Brawler last week from EBay.

YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Shadow Viper
Reading this card, this sounds like the baddest viper of 'em all. But the look... They're a repainted Astro Viper. It just doesn't match. But the filecard. Can see these guys working pretty closely with Firefly.
