I got my Cobra Island set today. I primarily bought it for the Cobras, but I picked up the extra joes. As I was opening the pack, I noticed that Zap looks like Vincent Price and Recondo looks like one of the actors that played the original Three Musketeers.
Did anyone else notice this? Many of the head sculpts resemble actors. I almost expect to see the Zap headsculpt on a Crystal Ball figure next year if they ever make one. Ripcord= John Wayne Outback= Chuck Norris Aqua Viper Commander aka Red Lamprey= Scott Bakula What other headsculpts resemble famous people? It seems like Hasbro could sculpt actors of old much better than they could any of the movie actors. |

ARAH Hawk v.2 looks like Robert Mitchum. Seriously.
There was a good thread on this at YoJoe.com few years ago. I can't remember all of them mentioned but I'd say Rock Viper V.1 looks like a typical 80's Porn Star! It's the 'stasche.

I think somebody made a thread saying that Tracker looked like Johnny Cash. LOL. And I think the new Joe 5-pack Flint looks like John Kerry.

The original Repeater totally looks like R. Lee Ermey.
Though I think CI-pack Zap looks more like a younger Edward James Olmos than Vincent Price. Last edited by Jmacq1; 07-23-2009 at 07:19 AM.. |

If they add little white hairs on the sides, he'll definitely resemble Vincent Price. Do you think this was intentional?

Isn't the 7-pack Ripcord just Red Star's face?
