Good point. Will do that when I update.

The overall colour is a potentially major issue as far as character recognition is concerned, one that I don't think will be easily resolved with minor tweaks. It came down to one of two things: either go with the contemporary ACU and lose a fair bit of the visual ties to the original character design, or go with older, Army camo from the prior century similar to Footloose's original uniform, such as the
6-colour desert pattern
that was the standard during the 1980s. I went with the former, on the basis of that approach being more consistent with how I've made all the other Joes.
Good points about Recoil's helmet, I'll be adjusting the shade on that one as well.
As for Shaq to the Cavs... I think the latest rumour is that Danny Ferry is hesitating on pulling the trigger, on the off-chance that he might be able to swing a deal for Wince Carter (yeah, that's me, just another disgruntled Raptors fan
).
EDIT:
Recoil updated as per MT's suggestions (went in the opposite direction with it though, changing his helmet to match his webgear/suit, for a more unified multicam look). Also, since we're sneaking in NBA rumours here, anybody else hear the rumour about
the Indiana Pacers possibly relocating to Vancouver?
I'm not a fan of owners "stealing" other city's franchises but seeing as how Vancouver used to have an NBA team, I think it's all just karmic sports payback for Michael Heisler spiriting away the Grizzlies in 2001.
