I never post my bash. I have my Dusty from SS still in the box but with( $23 shipped for head, uniform, helmet and boots) some Dusty parts and part I already had I made my own.

I got Dusty. My first SS, and I am impressed. I have read a lot of people saying that pictures do these guys no justice and you have to have these guys in hand to appreciate them. When I took this out of the box, I was elated over the detail, the fine work. The pouches, the zippers, the paint apps, the rounds visible at the top of the mags, the various velcro patches you can use to customize him, the slide even moves on the .45. WHAT. I could not believe it.
There were some issues. I had to superglue a couple of things like the patch on his beret, a piece of the sling for the rifle, and the strap for the goggles was about to fall off, so that needed a quick superglue. I also find it difficult to keep the tiny velcro to stick to each other, especially on his knife scabbard. But man, these are tiny issues compared to how great this guy looks. I just got in the Ninja Viper and Stalker as well. Not as much equipment as Dusty, but they look great in the boxes and I can't wait to set them up as well. Some pics of my Dusty below. I went crazy with pics, so many to choose from, and I am not done, yet. |

Heh, thanks. I'm seriously considering the Cobra Desert sniper and officer. I'm impatiently waiting for the Viper to have a Cobra trooper. But I will be making my own desert scene. I am willing to pay $$$ for these amazing figures, but I can't do that for scenes that I know I have the capacity to make (motivation is another story).
In the meantime, Dusty has been keeping watch over my living room: |

I know what you mean about the environments...I'd rather get another figure instead of dishing out $120+ for a set. For example, the Arashikage Temple is awesome in size and detail, but the almost $300 price tag is painful in the wallet.
I would like to see someone have the SSC Joes and Cobras displayed with the environments on a shelf or lighted cabinet...haven't seen anyone post yet, just mostly the figures and stands.

Hmm. Yeah, does any collector have these environments? I guess they do, just no photo evidence yet.

Cool. I completely missed your July photos, Viper. Good stuff. And yeah, Ultra's look really nice. Glad to see that environment out and about in fan photos. Looks awesome.
