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

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;) |

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.

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!
