There is a Tiger Force Mutt - 2006 convention special edition figure. Also produced were Tiger Force Beachhead, Tiger Force Hard Top, and Tiger Force Zartan/Hawk.
Lady Jaye is an interesting case. She did her Masters degree at Trinity College in Ireland and she speaks with a bit of an Irish lilt... no wonder Flint fell for her right away. I suppose the birthplaces always sort of surprise me. There are a ton of Joes from Rhode Island - A TON. I know it's where Hasbro is, but there are states that have only one Joe, and it would be nice to share a little bit. I suppose I'm biased in that regard. Intersting, I think it's funny what's left out of Flint's file card. For as much is made out of his Rhodes scholarship, the Rhodes scholarship is about doing graduate work in England at Oxford University. What's not explained is where Flint earned his undergraduate degree. He obviously didn't go to West Point, or he'd be a commisioned Officer - an LT or above. Rhodes Scholarships are hard to come by, but you don't have to go to an Ivy League School. The University of Mississippi has produced 24 Rhodes Scholars, for example. The University of Tennessee has produced 6. This wouldn't be so abnormal, but they do mention where other Joes have gone to school if their educations were noteworthy: Lady jaye at Brwn Myer, Claymore at Dartmouth, etc. To make so much of Flint's schooling, and then not to mention his alma mater seems odd to me. Somehow, I've always liked to think of him as a Duke man. It's close to Special Forces HQ at Ft. Bragg, it's on par with a lot of Ivy League Schools. I'm sure some tar heels will disagree, but I've got no hatred for UNC. It just seems to fit Flint's personality and Duke does produce a fair number of Rhode Scholars and has a broad appeal nationally. |

You apparently don't know anything about Irish women... the ones I know don't put up with any crap. I doubt Lady Jaye does either.

Troynos, I've been thinking about how we both use the idea of secret societies in our 'verses. I don't know whether you use Serpentor but...
What if, a secret society let's call them the Coil has been around for centuries, dating back to Phillip of Macedon. One of the foundations of this society is a royal bloodline descending from Phillip through his son and heir Alexander the Great and descending through many notable conquerors in our history; Attila the Hun, Julius Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte, Vlad the Impaler and others like Ivan the Terrible, Grigori Rasputin, and culminating in the man who calls himself Serpentor. Cobra Commander could be a part of this bloodline and has this ongoing feud with Serpentor as Cobra is the modern version of the Coil but Serpentor is the rightful heir as his bloodline is more direct. This gives a tighter air of legitimacy as to why Cobra would be divided between the two.It also takes the science fiction element out of Serpentor's origin albeit replaced by a far out conspiracy theory instead Just a thought. |

I like that. I hate the sci-fi origin of Serpentor.
Yours works pretty good.

This reminds me who takes over Darklonia when Destro kills Darklon? Is Trans-Carpathia a country or just a region of Romania. Between Borovia and Latveria? I mean is Destro royalty? |
