Yeah, that was all over the Tank when it first came out - lots of Fumbles customs showing up. It was a pretty funny video.

Never saw it. Was wondering what started the Fumbles thing. Will have to check it out when get home tonight.

I use my Sky Patrol as a deep insertion, Airborne LRRP unit, or even a Combat Control/ParaRescue Unit. Sky Patrol falls under my G.I. Joe Special Operations Command (G-SOC)
My other airborne soldiers (Sgt. Airborne, Rip Cord, Free Fall) are part of my Regular Joe Army - they are part of the Ranger Detachment, and basically do the same Job that Sky Patrol does, except they do it for the Regular Joe Army. So, to be more clear, if G-SOC is the Spearhead of all my Joe Forces, Sky Patrol is the Point of the Spear. They're out doing Recon way forward of the lines. The other/regular Airborne Unit is conducting similar missions on a smaller scale for the regular Joe Army... sort of like how the 101st and 82nd Division each have LRSC (LRRP) units that function for their own divisions. The Rangers do that kind of work for the Whole Army... I hope I'm being clear. Crazy Legs is in Night Force, and thus can coordinate with Sky Patrol or the Regular Airborne Joes as needed. Flint is also qualified as a HALO Paratrooper (Battle Corps), so he and Crazy Legs might jump in together for Night Force. Ghost Squad is a special prototype/midnight run of the Night Force 6 pack TRU did several years ago... it includes alternate paint scheme of all the characters from that set, including "Night Force Tracker"... they evidently switched the paint to make him Action Man just prior to final production. I use them as a SAD unit, commanded by Claymore... and Low-Light (version 2) often shows up to help. "Night Force Tracker" is the pride of my collection. I don't know anyone else who has one, allegedly there were less than 50 of these prototype sets produced. I've posted a few pics of them before, but if you'll check out my profile page, you'll see a picture of "Ghost Squad Flint" from that set. They all sort of match him. Flint is the field commander of Ghost Squad because no Officer could do those missions... plausible deniability and all that. Does Claymore hold an overall command of G-SOC or is he only attached to the Ghost Squad? I need to put my teams up here too. I just haven't made the time to transfer from paper to message board. |

Ah... I guess I misremembered the slogan on his shirt... I could've sworn it was "Might Makes Right" but a quick check over at yojoe.com reveals that indeed it was "the Right of Might"... there might be some lessening of degree here, but I think the underlying implication in the statement is the same (that a person's or a group's perceived advantages in physical potentiality/the ability to apply violence conveys upon them "greater" intrinsic rights over others less endowed or less willing to resort to use force to impose their will on society).
In any event, I'm sure the guys who designed the toy weren't actually seriously endorsing anything political, much less anything that can be construed/interpreted as fascistic... they probably just thought the slogan looked/sounded cool and ran with it, without giving a second thought to its possible implications. |

Your Delta team is pretty cool... but do you really call Mainframe dataframe? I understand that is the re-name for hasbro but it is kinda like double clutch or General Tomahawk they might be changed but they are still Clutch and Hawk to me.
