Man, I don't even know how many versions of old GH I've done now... Jungle Assault Gung-Ho - This one was inspired by my kids. They're always asking me to play Joes with them, but they want me to use my own figures. Well, most of my figures are the "for display only" variety. So, I decided to make one that I could use to play with them and not worry about it getting dinged up. My little ones are 5 and 6 years old, so they don't really know much about the classic Joes. Most of their figures are of the newer RoC style. So I decided to make a "Jungle Assault" Gung-Ho to fit in with the upcoming Pursuit of Cobra themes... Parts: Entire figure (Comic Pack Gung-Ho), Lower Arms (RoC Tunnel Rat), Tactical Vest (RoC Pit Commando), M16/M203 (Marauder, Inc.), Rucksack (Comic Pack Gung-Ho). The base figure was not modified in any significant way. I did swap the lower arms for a set that didn't have the silly-looking sweatbands (or whatever those are supposed to be). Aside from that, this whole "custom" figure basically amounts to a new camouflage pattern on the cover and trousers and some new accessories. Jungle Assault Gung-Ho recently aided my son's Tiger Force Duke in defeating Cobra forces at the Battle of the Wooden Block Fortress. Last edited by Sgt Humpty; 08-29-2012 at 03:03 PM.. |

A couple of people freaked out when I told them that I made this one so I could play with my kids without messing up any of my "good figures"... LOL.
