Wild Bill looks badass!! He definetly needs the dragonfly to make him complete but I guess we'll have to settle for buzzer for now HA

Thanks joe cartoon archive!

Is Wild Bill pulling a "Brokeback" cowboy move on the Buzzer there?

It would seem like it huh! lol but this is from the episode 'The Wrong Stuff'. When that clip came on I was LMAO, it was funnier than hell. Especially when he started yelling "YEEHAW!"....oh man that was the best...

plus they've done a fantastic job with giving us new heads and accessories, and especially the web gear (it's amazing how much that ads, like on Beachhead and Firefly)

you can think of it this way to, any figure you get as a redeco is one you probably wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

...not to mention that it's been this way since 1982;)

Wise words, and thanks for sharing them. This kind of level-headed assessment is always a pleasure to read- especially when I agree with what's said.

He looks exactly the way I imagined. I'll reserve judgement until I see a bigger image, but I'm confindent he'll be great.

The use of webgear in this line has truly been a step in the right direction.



BTW... if you look at Ace, you'll notice he has 2 "things" coming out from the sides of his legs. That's for Wild Bill's holsters. It is clear to me that Hasbro sculpted both Snow Job and Wild Bill with Ace and Wild Weasel in mind. Which is perfectly fine in my book. One thing's to come up with the idea to repaint an existing mold. Something entirely different is to think about future repaints from the get-go (in "pre-production"). To design a body that will be able to pass as different characters and actually look right.

I have it, it is very detailed and quite sturdy(not as sturdy as the BBI Apache though). The Dragonfly is based on the AH-1 Cobra, so if you guys want something realistic for Wild Bill...

Well the BBi Apache is on clearance at most Targets. It is a good upgrade for Wild Bill. In fact those army cav guys do wear those hats now.
The AH-1 Cobras are pretty hard to come by now. Plus I believe those are mostly used by the Marines.

Did anyone notice the slight remold (or is it just paint) to WB's belt buckle? If this is what we get for sharing molds, bring it on I say! WB looks perfect!

[Recondo]

yeah I noticed it, its a cattle head, pretty cool littl details on all these figs, it such a great line

[Recondo76]

thanks guys!

the figure looks amazing in my opinion...i'd never have known it was Ace's body if you guys hadn't told me...
bring it on Hasbro!!!

now if we could only get a Recondo...
