Well, that's a good question, but I don't know how they would look with one of the newer shields... the old Super Trooper shield might actually look more in keeping with the "high tech" look of the new suits.
I'm almost of the opinion that the Armour itself renders the shield unnecessary. I don't know yet, but here's what I'm thinking... 1. Delta-6 Accelerator Suit: Rip Cord (Head Swap) - DeNiro 2. Delta-6 Accelerator Suit: Speed Metal (Head Swap) - Lattimer 3. Delta-6 Accelerator Suit: Duke (Repaint the silver portions to metallic green and head swap) - London/Rapid Fire 4. Delta-6 Accelerator Suit: Speed Metal - New Character 5. Upcoming Delta-6 Accelerator Flight Suit w/ Rip Cord - New Character (need code name) Now that you mention it, I will probably give DeNiro, Lattimer, and maybe Speed Metal each a shield. London/Rapid Fire never had a sheild to begin with, and by using Duke's Accelerator Suit, he'll have the arm cannon... because Rapid Fire was a Ordinance Specialist on his original File Card. So he'll have the cannon instead of a shield. The flying Armour trooper will not have a shield. His mission is different. How does this set up sound to y'all? Not Sure about flying Armor Ripcord. He looks like he may be awesome under the gear. (Why couldn't he not be Static-Line?) |

Is Ashiko the motorcycle armor guy?
You hated pretty hard on the Ninja guys. I'm not trying to defend Ninja Force, but did you read T'Gin-Zu's file card? It's really not that bad. He sounds like a guy with great qualifications and a terrible costume... the custom version is really great... Static Line is an EOD... I don't know that he would need a jet pack.

A lot of these guys sound pretty good. I don't really hate them so much. I loved the first three ninja force guys. I actually like T'jbang before DDP got a hold of him. But now T'jbang has more of a story than 90% of Joe characters. My main problem is that they were executed and delivered to us so poorly. The colors most particularly. But even though they more stereo-types than anything of substance, kids love ninjas. I love Ninjas. I'm probably just jealous since T'Gin-Zu is one of the only figures I don't own. But I love Kamakura because he was done more like a ninja Commando and less of a contractor Ninjas. Even though most of Ninja Force have real military quailifications (Well the first 3), they don't seem like military personnel whatsoever. So now all my ninjas, except Kamakura, live in the himilayas with the rest of the arctic force I don't look at much. BTW I just bought this Kamakura custom from ARC30. Can't wait. http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-jo...3-x-force.html |

You just gave me the best idea Oliver. I think I'll rename the v2 Storm Shadow T'Gin-Zu since my Storm Shadow is a ruthless Cobra Assassin. And he's wearing white like T'Gin-Zu had, plus the hoody. That way I can use both.

With the RoC line, I'm turning some of those into Serpentor's Coils. And then there's the Iron Grenadiers. And somehow I want to get Vaughn's Red Shadows as well. So that would be Cobra, Coils, IGs and Red Shadows for Joe to deal with and of course all those different groups would be working together sometimes and working against eachother other times.

BTW, I thought Ashiko was female?

I have yet to see the 3-pack at my TRU, if it's in your guys area, then should be in mine next week.
They haven't stocked in awhile, so I'm hoping there's a flood of new stuff coming.
