Thanks Drew. I've blown off getting Nemesis in favor of getting a case of Hot Toys AVP figures since I already have Terminators for Joe & Cobra to fight.
I was originally thinking of using HD's chest for Robocop, but I thought it might be too large. I'll go back and look again, Magick. I will get this damn figure done. lol. Even as a stand alone film not connected to Joe, I see RoC as a poor writer cobbling together a bunch of scenes he thought were cool in other movies, changing the names, and having almost no plot & even worse dialogue to go with it. It's just not for me when a movie runs mostly on special effects and this movie has some really bad ones.

Sith was better. *shoots self in the head*
I like how Hasbro/Marvel tried to give us MU fans an army builder 3-pack at TRU. Except it's a Chaste Ninja (Good guy, not a red Hand Ninja), a SHIELD agent (Nick Fury body + silly looking new head), and a HYDRA agent. Why could they have carded the HYDRA agent and stuck the red Hand Ninja in the dang 3-pack? $23 x 5 = $115 I didn't want to spend to get at least 5 HYDRA agents. lol. Oh well, one day I'll have bought 5 of them, but not anytime soon. ;) I guess since the Hand Ninja has been peg warming for so long (I have 5 already), they didn't want other generic bad guys to suffer the same fate. Stopped by 4 of the 5 TRU stores near me while looking for the Marvel 3-packs. Every store seems to be flooded with Wave 1-2 Collection 1-2 GI Joe figures. Allen had some Wave 3 (Helix, Crimson Viper), but that's it. Frisco has a 25th blue Cobra trooper (Red Mask, Red Sigel) if someone still needs one.

Yeah I was up there in Frisco today to go to IKEA to get another Bertby (3 bertbys full of joes now LOL damn customs helping push the envelope). Saw that Red Sigil trooper and gung ho and Duke x2 from 25th/ME, can't beleive they are still selling the old CG and Firefly 5 packs for 24.99 LOL. Along with tons of ROC figures even at 2 for 9.99 a pop. All of the targets and walmarts have some figures to some degrees. Saw some Crimson Hydras and the retarded Buggzapper XH-1 helo on my side of town today but still no Doctor wave anywhere to be found south and west of the target Beltway along 75 central expressway. Mostly Helix wave everywhere along with waves 1-2-1b-2b
Nirvana I think I found you some possible arms for your Robocop. That bulky robot figures in a comic two pack from an older wave of star wars comic packs, some guy called Durge? Comes with Anaking Skywalker, take a look at those upper arms/forearms. They may be to bulky for a Joe torso though but have that rounded armor feel like Robocops had. They have a comic pack near me if you need one picked up just let me know. it's 12.98 though I would have gotten myself if it was not so damned expensive! I saw a really cool new build a droid exclusives at a walmart tonight, has a pretty decent looking build a Dark Trooper and he's pretty damn big figure. Just not worth 5 x $17.00, freaking $100 for a figure I can't tell if it even has articualtion once completed! Lotta walmarts still sucking it up with selections on ROC guess well see what happnes next weekend if anything changes, wanna get my Gung Ho so so I can forget about that place for good till next year or later on. I am all caught up anyways on everything else I wanted from ROC so if anyone sees hints of Charbroil's wave lemme know!

The original barely had any articulation, so I wouldn't be shocked if this one has almost none. Skipping it either way unless I see a full set on clearance in 6 months. Does anyone here actually get SW figures besides Drew? I gave up with the $7 and $8 prices.

Only ones I have bought I htink one or 2 were for customs. I ended up getting some Target 3 pack with the 3 sith apprentice thingies in it for thier scarfs and accessories to use for Ninja stuff for 25th customs but not for star wars itself.
I stopped collecting 3 3/4 star wars figures at the end of the first 2-3 waves of Episode 3 when they got excruciating to find wave after wave of figures not well carried locally.

Nirvana.. I took another look at the Accel. suit upper arms.. they look just about right minus the horizontal ribbing.. nothing a good sanding can't fix... but as an alternative.. maybe armored CC? Need to try and pull mine out to look at it. My joes are still boxed away screaming to be set free. LOL
Oh.. and what did you think about using Salvo's helmet? HD chest.. way to big.. just looked at mine.. it would look funny on any other lower torso and if you use the whole torso he would be built funny. Although Robo was kinda beefy.. aesthetically... My vote would be Duke Reactive full torso, Accel. suit legs and upper arms, Possibly flash lower arms? Aren't Robo's lower arms solid and smooth? Thus that suggestion. Torpedo's head and Salvo's helmet.

I sent you a txt. We'll figure this out. lol.
My eBay MARS troopers arrived Friday at 7am, but the postal service wouldn't let me pick them up until today. About 30 mins of scrubbing, trimming, some super glue, and heating later they are all ready to join the rest of the RoC mini army. Not to bad after they're cleaned up.
