I like the unifying shirt for the Original 13, but for some reason it's just looking odd on Steeler. Maybe because he has no other gear to offset the helmet? It makes the helmet look even bigger.
I'd love to see Zulu's take on Hit & Run. How do you do the camo face and arm paint with the new camo patterns?

Thanks for the catch. Updated the filecard to reflect the correction (although it might be a few hours before the correct version propagates through the 'net... you also might have to clear your browser's cache to see it). Also updated Blizzard's and Mainframe's filecards to mroe accurately reflect their qualifications and positions on the team. I've been thinking about that a lot. Hit & Run, visually, has always been one of my favourites, and the camo face paint is a huge part of his design's appeal. Painting his face in ACU digital camo would look ridiculous, though, while giving him an ACU-patterned balaclava is too much of a departure from the original design, IMO. I think I'll give him traditional camo face-paint similar to the original toy, but in more subdued hues to go along with the current standards in camouflage patterns. |

If you think Steeler's helmet is big, wait till you see what I've got on Psyche-Out.

I was actually kidding about Sgt Slaughter. Although I'm a Sgt Slaughter fan, his being a Drill Instructor only doesn't really work with the design of the whole Company. I figured you could rework Super Trooper and Starduster works much the same as Airborne. I call my Super Trooper just Lt. Latimer since the codename is pretty ridiculous.
Wow 90 really opens you up for some badly needed updates. Does that mean Sky Patrol? What about Rapid-Fire as he's a Capt? His 12in figure seems a little more realistic. YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - 12" Rapid-Fire (1993) I was looking earlier and realized Blizzard is a Marine now but did you just change something else? |

Mainframe's a Gunny? Nice. Love it!

YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - 12" Rapid-Fire (1993) I just added the Advanced Personnel Administration Course to his training list. With a few exceptions, all enlisted Marines have to take that course once they hit E-6, making them qualified administrators. |

Didn't you make Hardball and Muskrat into Marines as well?

Yep. They won't be the last Joes to undergo "Marinification" either.

That's some long overdue good news in my book. I suppose you could make Airwave from SkyPatrol a Combat Controller. As you distribute the Airborne Guys is there an Airborne insertion Team? What team is Ripcord on? Cause besides Sky Patrol you have CrazyLegs and Freefall as well |

One of the covering platoon's rifle squads (led by Flint) is comprised completely of HALO/HAHO-qualified jumpers, though, and that's where Ripcord, Crazylegs, and Freefall will be assigned. Conversely, the other squad (led by Torpedo) will have riflemen cross-qualified as special operations combatant divers and that's where you'll find guys like Wet-Suit, Snake-Eyes, and Shipwreck (this sort of mirrors the set-up of US Army Special Force Groups, where all six "A" detachments consist of airborne-qualified soldiers, but one of the detachments is composed of soldiers also cross-qualified as Special Operations Combatant Swimmers/Divers and another one of the detachments consists of soldiers who are graduates of the Special Forces Military Freefall Operations Course).
