I'm dying to see mock ups of the Vietnam Kickstarter figures. Tiger stripes? Awesome! Green Berets and SEALS? LRRPs? Hell yes! I hope we'll see some SCUBA gear with the SEALs. Maybe even some HALO/MFF gear isn't too far down the road.

I wonder what uniforms they'll be using for the SEALs. Blue jeans with camo tops?

I wonder how this will affect production of their original Troopers? Will they continue making everything that they've made in the past? Seems like alot added to their menu.

I’m going to be honest but I’m a little skeptical. Sounds like Joytoy figure articulation/builds. I hope it doesn’t deviate so much that it doesn’t fit ascetically.

Good notes - you didn't miss much. Except listing all the freebies we handed out and the BBQ dinner. Unofficial poll - should we look at doing something like this again?
I do believe the ultra gear will be modular just not the bodies, like WWII. The thigh swivel will be designed so it doesn't look odd when not in the perfect place. Second neck articulation was mentioned as well, but all heads swappable. Wrist articulation is all new - I sort of understand it - but have not seen it yet. Ankles will be similar. MJ really wants to make ultra - ultra realistic and ultra poseable. Also making sure everything is forwards and backwards compatible as possible. I am trying to talk MJ into Black Multicam as one of the initial colors for ultra. I wonder what the price difference will be on these? Jason |

Yeah me too. But I guess if people started posting pictures of the event, it would take away from the exclusiveness of the whole thing.
I'm curious as to whether the Vietnam and Ultra Kickstarters had pictures of prototype figures or if they were just the digital drawing mock-ups. One bit of information makes me think they were actual prototypes and only the Wrath Kickstarter was mock-up drawings. Jason |

So much cool stuff mentioned here, particular items that jumped out to me: new heads, Russian female sniper, pilots, Vietnam era uniforms, Air Cavalry, Tiger Stripe, bare chest and arms, shorts with boots, scuba sculpt and gear. Not that rest doesn't sound good but there is only so much you can buy!

I am with you here. I am worried that Ultra is not going to be for me, sounds good for those who want it though. I guess I am going to have to see how much they cost and more importantly how they look next to the older figures. |

These are my notes as I took them down during the event:
Vietnam Kickstarter (not sure the base launch set) - US Army Infantryman - US Marine - Bare arms and sleeve arms for figure - Special Forces aka Green Berets - Tiger Stripe. - US Navy Seal - US Army LRRP - Viet Cong - black pajamas - North Vietnamese Army Soldier - Tan fatigues - US Air Crew/Air Cavalry - think Wild Bill and Door Gunner figures for Huey, nod to Wild Bill and Apocalypse now cowboy hat - US Army Nurse - Think show China Beach, MASH style That ended what I wrote down. I'm kind of going off of the WW2 Kickstarter where there were 4 initial figures and then followed by 20 Unlocked Stretch Goals: 1. US Army Infantryman - green uniform, rolled-sleeves, w/ helmet & baseball cap 2. USMC Rifleman - green uniform, rolled-sleeves, w/ flak vest, helmet & 8-pt cover 3. US Army Ranger - camo uniform, long-sleeves, w/ black beret 4. NVA Soldier - green uniform [Mayhem says black uniform] Stretch Goals (and again, I'm being reasonable here and I kind of group the Stretch Goals together like MGR did with WW2 KS): 1. Viet Cong - grey pajamas [Mayhem doesn't specify color] 2. Viet Cong - tan & grey pajamas 3. ARVN (South) Soldier 4. ARVN (South) Officer - w/ maroon beret 5. US Army Special Forces - green uniform, w/ green beret, Swedish K 6. US Army LRRP - tiger-stripe camo uniform, rolled-sleeves, Boonie, Mike-One-Six [Mayhem says the Green Beret will be tiger-striped] 7. US Army Delta - giraffe camo uniform(?)[not sure if Delta had giraffe camo], jungle or Boonie hat. 8. USMC Machine Gunner - bare chest, criss-cross ammo belt, ammo belt on helmet, flak vest (I'm thinking kind of an "Animal Mother" look). 9. USMC RTO - green uniform, rolled-sleeves, radio pack & gear 10. USMC Force Recon - camo uniform, long-sleeves, Boonie, M16 Carbine 11. USMC Grenadier - African-American bare chest, flak vest, M79 12. Weapons Pack #1 13. US Navy Seal - bandana, camo uniform, long-sleeves 14. US Navy Corpsman - African-American, glasses head sculpt (see below), medical gear molded onto the helmet 15. US Helicopter Pilot - Calvary hat, yellow bandana, sunglasses w/ mustache head sculpt, green flight suit. [Can't wait to see how close my description is to MTF figure!] 16. US Helicopter Door Gunner - green uniform, flak vest, helmet 17. Australian SASR - camo uniform, face paint, camo beret 18. USMC Drill Instructor - "Smokey Bear" hat, green uniform, long-sleeve (thinking Gunnery Sgt. Hartman like figure) 19. Weapons Pack #2 20. Head Sculpt Assortment For the various head sculpts, I think given the Vietnam era, Marauder could really stand to use some sculpted-mustache head sculpts. So, I suggest at least these 4 different head sculpts (Caucasian and African-American) not counting the 2 maybe 3 Asian (Vietnamese) head sculpts: 1. Short hair w/ mustache 2. Military Glasses, I'm thinking sculpted frames but you can still see the eyes 3. Bald Head w/ mustache 4. Sunglasses w/ mustache And then for the Weapons Packs, I could see various weapons like a Swedish K, Mike-One-Six w/ Starlight Scope, M-60 w/ shoulder strap, M-79 "thumper," and even an extendable LAW rocket launcher. With these uniforms (OG-107 variants) in green and different camo patterns, along with gear & weapons with variant head sculpts (mustaches, glasses, etc.) Marauders would fill a tremendous gap of available MTF products for specific G.I.Joe-esque customs. Your thoughts? I am already putting money back on this Kickstarter. I'm going all-in on this one! Or as fIREHOSE said, "Ragin, Full On!" Jason

I've been part of every Marauder kickstarter but see myself buying a lot of the Vietnam era. Not because of the Vietnam war but that era really matches ARAH Joe. Can't wait to customize an OG13 with Vietnam uniforms

I usually only get 1 figure in Marauder's kickstarters, but I'm going to go a little wild with the Viet Nam one. Passing on 21st Century's VC and NVA figures is one of my biggest collecting regrets.
