Oliver- i love your idea for "striker". Sands is one of my all time favorite movies.
I wont be getting any of the RoC figures but i went to Target yesterday just to check them out. Shipwreck, Deep Six, Sgt. Stone & Desert Duke were the best in my opinion. I immediately thought of Troy when i saw this version of Shippy. If you have trouble finding him up there let me know and i can pick one up for you. Good to hear from you. Yeah, I understand if you're not getting any of the RoC stuff, but you might want to think about just a few of them. Sgt. Stone, Shipwreck, and Desert Duke are pretty impressive. Obviously it's up to you, but you could pick and choose the ones you want. Thanks for the affirmation about my Striker idea... it feels kind of weird to just rename a figure, but I justify it by the fact that this line is not "A Real American Hero".

Kind of have to rename 'em to make 'em fit. Because RoC Duke looks nothing like ARAH Duke, they really are different characters.

I think the adult market for 1:18 scale realistically rendered military-themed figures and vehicles is relatively limited, at least when compared to 1:64, 1:32, and 1:6 scale toys. I think the problem is that it's a bit of a "bastard" scale: it's too big to create anything larger than a realistically scaled Humvee or Little Bird helicopter without becoming prohibitively expensive in terms of production cost (not to mention storage and shipping) and it's too small to allow for the amount of obsessive detail and articulation that many adult militaria collectors are interested in.

Yeah we've pulled that out at some point. One thing I noticed on the DTC exclusive Falcon is they added his language skills. Arabic, Swahili, Spanish, and French.
YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Lt. Falcon (version five) Sounds like Stalker. And Convention Bullhorn seems further as a ex-FBI agent according to that filecard, even though he wears captain bars on his lapel. And as an FBI guy he should have been and officer like Bullet-Proof. YOJOE.COM | Bullhorn According to Convention Lowlight's Filecard, he doesn't need a Spotter which we know, but there is a GIJoe CID Commander. i wonder who that is? (Obviously Sure-Fire) YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Low-Light (version seven) Shockwave is the best though. They really didn't change anything except get rid of Choir. But he is the SWAT Leader and they kept his E-7 rank from the DEF days. YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Shockblast |

Damn you're right. I was looking at mine and it felt like I had never seen it before. I was bored and was looking to add something new to the thread.

I'm upset that we finally got a brand new Joe (new name and everything): Air Raid, and we get the new crappy filecards for him.
I'm holding off on saying Rollbar is brand new until see the filename since there was already a Rollbar character.
