ME Arctic Joe team:
I left out Doc, because I hate that head. Gotta get another MU Falcon and use that for my Arctic Doc.

Tried some head swaps. I don't think that Guillotine head will work on the bigger bucks. It's just a little small:

I don't think Guillotine's head looks bad size-wise on either of those bodies, but it does seem to sit too low on Gung-Ho's. The head is a bit of a tight fit on the 25th Roadblock/Copperhead's neck ball, but looks good otherwise. (The arms are obviously due for an update, though, and the legs would have to change.)
I'm actually more fond of Sub-Zero than I expected, given that I rarely like cold-weather figures due to the bulky jackets and sculpts. This one has the same general articulation problems, but he looks great and his gear is mostly pretty nice. Whose legs does he use? They look familiar, but I can't quite place them.

His legs are from cancelled Arctic Duke.

Could you please please post a pic of your Doc with the Falcon head. I have been searching for a suitable replacement for his tiny head for years, and would be very interested in how that head works with that body.

There's also an ME SnowJob released in the 25th line that is designed more like the original, but if you're limiting yourself to only one instance per character, the 50th version is a nice choice.

I was trying to find pics of the most recent releases but got interested in the ebay seller bashing.
For the OP, we are a capitalist society, if I invested in something and later want to get rid of it, shouldn't I try to turn some profit, especially if there is a demand for it, that drives its value? Not to insult anyone but time has revealed that Joe Collectors are cheap, we want to spend for less then the "value" but then get offended when we have valuable stuff valued at less as the market reacts to lower selling prices. SW collectors on the other hand, spend ridiculous amounts on things that appear to be worth much less. I am clearing out my 2000 era SW items and assumed EP1 items would sell at a loss based on the movies lack of fan support. Turns out some of the items are breaking even. Worse yet, some of the POTF2 items are selling for much more than I paid even though the models are horrible compared to even today's 5 POA figures. The key, IMO to eBay is to know your target audience. If I am selling vintage SW (1980 era stuff), I can list it for .99 cents and know it will just go up from there. I can list a complete large vehicle and know I am going to make a lot more on it. If I am selling Joe items, a Buy It Now auction works well and I should assume I will get offers that are far less than I paid. But, some items will surprise you and make you wonder if she should have asked for more. Side note on ebay selling: a seller is stressed to ship with USPS priority, it helps your seller rating (if buyers really look at it). USPS has changed how they treat their various USPS developed and available for free boxes as of JAN 2018. I used to be able to weigh a package and ship it in a free flat rate box of theirs. No more. It now must be shipped at the flat rate price. if you cover up the flat rate markings, the buyer may have to pay a difference at the other end. Goes the same for their free regional rate boxes now too. The problem is when building the auction, the shipping module only has two priority rate options - metered which means you are either recycling a box or going to charge for a box and the USPS Large flat rate option which is much more box and cost than the average buyer is going to want to spend on a small Joe toy. Yet once the auction is over, I could invoice you for a regional A rate after repacking it (if you are close to me) or repack it into a flat rate (if you are further from me)again after switching up boxes. I cant risk offering free shipping - It can cost me more than the item is worth to ship. Overseas buyers tend to buy large lots and shipping to them could cost more than it is worth it. I recently sold a Naboo ship/playset for $100 and shipping was $75 to the overseas buyer. I paid probably $99 for it when it came out. That is a lot of effort to find the best shipping rate for a buyer. repacking into several option boxes prior to sending an invoice. Also sellers want to get it to the post office quickly - timeliness impacts seller rating. That means spending gas and time or scheduling a pick up and being home for the random time they come by to pick it up (assuming you live somewhere were packages are stolen on the front porch) Don't be surprised if you start seeing charges for boxes and gas as shipping and handling fees from your sellers. eBay and USPS collaboration is hurting the small time seller. Rant complete, move along
