Of course we all have to make of Mr. Hama's answer what we will - we all have to interpret it for ourselves. The way I understand it, G.I. Joe is a combined arms (Department of Defense Level) Counter Terrorist Unit. It's a step above Delta and DevGru. It draws from all the different units. That's my understanding.

I see the Joe team as a Super-Delta Force. They're a step up from DF, DevGru. When Cobra, Coils and others come onto the scene, it created the need for a top secret unit that could handle those terrorist groups.
If you have a Super Villian, you need a Super Hero to fight them. That kind of idea. Where Delta would be tasked with dealing with Al Qeada and such groups, Joe's primary would dealing with Cobra and such.

Nice customs Loose. How much painting was involved?

So I'm working on a commander for the ODA Team - You guessed it - General Joe Colton: Green Beret.
I'm trying to get Aloysha (Broken Arrow Toys) to sell me one of his custom cast Joe Colton heads. It's a little tricky right now - it's not currently available to be bought by itself. So I emailed him to ask him to make an exception. I sent him links to the threads with the pics of the team. If he'll do it, I think it'll be a pretty awesome commander for this unit. Comments?

Larry's response to Oliver's question does make sense. If you go back to Special Missions #2, Ibrahim the Mossad agent says that the Joes are, "...Too scruffy to be Delta, and not weird enough to be SOG." So, it sounds like he meant for the Joes to exist alongside all these other agencies.

I really like your customs Loose. Jammer and Skip are terrific. I think I'll steal your idea
Btw, is that Sarge Slaughter from the Build and Brawl line? if so, did you have to modify it? I;ve seen a few here in Oz but they look kinda skinny and short compared to ME Joe body sculpts. If I mess with figures I only paint hair maybe add a stache. I have a problem with paint though. I found Testors Acrylic to be awesome. But I can't find it anymore. I found other acrylics to rub right off. I have a failed Skullbuster attempt where I used enamel. So I generally buy customs. |

I meant to ask you Oliver, who is your Ghost team?
Also do guys who are in the various sub-Teams exist outside of the subteam? Or do the rotate? or if they exist in two teams do you just pick one? Lastly which Sub-Teams do you use? Anti-Venom task force? All of them? Anti-Venom Task Force Battleforce 2000 Desert Patrol Squad Drug Elimination Force Eco-Warriors Mega Marines Night Force Ninja Force Sky Patrol Slaughter's Marauders Star Brigade Steel Brigade Tiger Force |

Loose, thanks for asking. Sub-Teams are a HUGE part of my Joeverse. So let me start by listing the ones I actually use
Tiger Force Desert Patrol Squad - I add the Anti-Venom Task Force (they look like Desert troops). Night Force (& Ghost Squad) Sky Patrol Slaughter's Marauders Steel Brigade Now, before I explain how they all work (roster questions), let me explain Ghost Squad. When the TRU Night Force 6-pack came out in 2005, there were some prototype figures made and they have sometimes found their way onto ebay - they're very rare; I have the whole set. These prototype figures have a slightly different paint job on their pants, and one other exception: There is no Action Man. Rather, it was Night Force Tracker. That's right. Tracker: the Navy SEAL with the great file card and one of the worst uniforms ever... well, this prototype figure fixed that. So this alternate version of Night Force that I found on ebay has become my Ghost Squad - the unit that doesn't really exist. It's not an official unit, and so I use it for unofficial missions.
