The hood is slightly different from the fabric, which is probably more realistic, but I was curious to see any updates done by the awesome customizers here.
I'm on the wait list for the red sdcc version now. |

The hood being a different color from the fabric of his uniform bothered me at first. Until I got him in hand. Mind you, when he isn't wearing the trench it does stand out a bit more, but for some reason, when he's wearing the black leather trench, it all looks "right". Wether that is just a trick of the eye finding the darker mask as the median between the black and the lighter uniform, or just the jacket shadowing the clothing underneath, I've no clue. It works for me, even in pictures. That said...I HATE the trench he comes with. The collar/shoulder pad things are just lame. So, while I dig everything else about my CC, and the fact that the jacket kills the shades of blue issue for me, I think I'll be getting him a new trench. Possibly something from one of the Angel or Spike figures, or maybe Blade. Can't wait until next month when I FINALLY try to get my Troopers.

Here's what I've noticed.

With the trench on, it looks fine. Without, that's when it is entirely noticeable. All in all, I can't complain, as it's one of my collection items. So you're going to buy your 12" Troops online? Which ones are getting? How many? Where are you buying from? I am now falling prey to being a SS/GI Joe completist and will be looking as well. |

I hear you on the urge to become completist. I think the only figures I will likely stay away from are SE, SS, and likely Flint. Honestly, When I first saw these I was determined to just work on a bare bones Cobra infantry unit. Duke, Beachhead, and especially Firefly have convinced me otherwise. I keep telling myself I won't get Flint, but if I get Duke and Beach it'd be way to tempting to get a "Little Bird" for him to fly them around in. Plus, As much as I like to try and fool myself, if they come out with a really killer Commando SE, I'm totally game.

I will be buying them online, and I'm thinking two is a good number. Atleast to start with. My Officer needs someone to boss around. He's always shooting me dirty looks.

Have you seen one somewhere? Would you build it yourself? I wish you'd never have said that LOL.. |

Here's a link to one of the Ultimate Soldier 'Birds... Sorry, they are nice. lol 1:6 ULTIMATE SOLDIER AH-6 LITTLE BIRD HELICOPTER MISB ! - eBay (item 120415056080 end time May-27-10 18:55:21 PDT) I've also debated getting my Officer one of the 1:6 Dirtbikes or Motorcycles they have all over the 'bay. I'm going to be choosy with what I buy, for both budget and room concerns, but this seems like it would work really well for my Officer, especially with a little help from CobraStickers. I'm thinking something like this will be my next big accessory. Though I'm unsure if I should go with one of the racing style bikes, a dirt bike, or maybe a BMW or Triumph style bike. NEW RAY 2008 HONDA CBR1000RR CBR 1000 RR BIKE 1/6 RED - eBay (item 400120898349 end time Jun-07-10 21:30:20 PDT)

Unfortunately, no. However, everything I've seen from Ultimate Soldier has been awesome, so I'm sure this is aswell.
