Thanks, lol. Not all me, you, Fogger, Tallcreeper, Skyhawk and everyone else have made this thread great. Yeah, a 2-pack with the female snipers. That would be great.

Coast Guard Personnel are often called "Coasties", as in "You know Bob; he's a Coastie."
As a take off on "Coastie" what about code name: Beach Bum ? He could go undercover as a homeless guy.

What would be a good name for a Coastie? Cutter is perfect, but what else?

Actually, I hear it was a "trademark trap" on a michigan map from the late '70s. Map makers sometimes put fake items in maps to protect them from being copied-kind of like the original 12" Joe's left thumbnail being on the wrong side. There were two fake cities-Goblu and Beatosu. I think the map maker was a U of M alumni!!!

No pictures. But it's just a head swap. But I liked the Idea of an urban assault commander. My Raider is an (0-5) and the Code name is based on the Marines. Well then came Bulletproof and Surefire, and I use the Roughshot from the bronze bombers as my new urban Assault Commander. He's an (0-7). But my Raider was a key character in my Joe Verse for a long time. I inherited my brother's collection when someone stole half of it and he lost interest. I couldn't have dupes but the head is good and the Shockwave body is one of the best ever made. I like you believe there are not enough Marines that are Joes. Especially Officers.
There are also not enough Hispanic Joes either. Not one Joe was born in Puerto Rico. I always assumed Zap is Puerto Rican. Yet we have a Cuban, Mexican, and a Columbian. Law seemed Hispanic in the Movie but Lavinge seems French Canadian or Teeny booper. Does anyone ever wonder how they got tapped for Duty for the Joes if they are not US citizens. I suppose they are naturalized citizens. Can anyone clarify that? How do men join the military and gain their citizenship? I sorta guess that does happen and may even be a faster path to citizenship. So are Snow Storm, Long Range, and Switch Gears (and Backstop) US citizens? Also Someone mentioned Roadpig's Hometown of Goblu. Since I spent of great deal of my youth in Kalamazoo, I was always keen to the 3 Characters that are from Michigan. (Hell I would have bought a Madonna Figure if they made one). I never got that until now. what's that?.....20years? |
