So, one of the greatest playable features of G.I. Joe are the interchangable accessories. Are you a purist who only gives his Joes the accessories they came with, or do you equip them as you see fit?
Generally speaking, I stick to the equipment given. There's exceptions though. I re-equip most DVD Joes since I really dislike the cartoon and its laser rifles. I've also changed up the knife on everyone with a commando Snake Eyes body. The new knife that comes with Resolute Duke is AWESOME and a perfect fit for Snake Eyes sheath, it nestles in just right so the handle doesn't get in the way of the webgear like the one that comes standard. |

I gave '88 Stormy the red handle swords from Legions Stormy, also Hard Master's bow and comic Stormy's claw. I also traded CG Fred and SRO CG Officer's rifles, the officer looks much better with the Springfield and my 2 troopers having the assault rifles. Oh, and I threw Baroness' knife in Comic pack Stormy's leg sheath, since he didn't come with anything to put in there.

I had the same question for my Bro Tanker yesterday. As in, do I give w1 SS the claw from the FF/SS comic pack so he more closely resembles the vintage camo SS?
But I added another wrinkle -- do I want to give vintage accessories to my 25th? Do I give the blow gun from the vintage butterfly knife SE to the 25th version? Also, should I file down vintage backpack pegs to fit 25th? I sent a vintage Tele Viper scanner to another Tanker once and he added it to his 25th TV and it looked great. What to do, what to do.

I don't swap so much, as I replace. I have few guys using the smaller .45s that come with Scarlett and Lady Jaye, but that's just untill I get another order placed with Marauder.
I think most of my swaps are coming from the Best Of DVD pack. Firefly is for sure getting the bomb that came with chrome headed Cobra Commander. CC himself has the pistol that came with another Commander, that got used for custom fodder. Needless to say, I've removed his parachute. The Paratrooper has been given standard trooper webgear, and the Commander's CLAW. He now flies air recon. O face Duke will be getting the head and accessories from a Tiger Force Duke. Untill TF Duke arrives, O Face is wearing a full face helmet from a dirt bike figure. That silent scream becomes unsettling, after a while. |
