There's a really weird plotline where the AT goes to a sort of "Mirror Universe" Earth and a lot of ARAH characters feature in it. As I recall the revelation about his relationship to the Adventurer comes up there.

Looks like Force Recon in a new camo pattern has been added.

You can also add funds to your pledge off the jump that will go towards the unlocks, as well, if I’m not mistaken

My pick 50 is starting to get stretched out. Probably gonna add at least a $100 to the backerkit.

Hot damn. They did it, didn't they. I really dig this but am surprised they didn't use face camo. I will have to swap a couple of SEAL or LRRP heads onto this figure.

I like everything but the field cap. I'm a civilian. I can't find any pics of Marines wearing field caps.

I'm surprised they even referred to the figure as a marine given it's the army infantryman repainted (I'm not complaining tho).
For a while now I've had this idea of doing little squads of region-specific Cobra partisans, groups of fighters who aren't necessarily full-Cobras but militia guys and gals fighting on their behalf, maybe coordinating with them. I've mentioned before I'll be using the VCs as SE Asian ones, I've had the idea for some Middle Eastern ones (Kurdish specifically, and maybe even some foreign sympathizers grouped with them) using some contract-ops bucks and some odd parts, something similar for some African ones, but one that I really wanted to do but wasn't sure about the parts for was some Irish ones, given the time period. I think this ERDL figure cracked that; I just have to find some way to mate the skirt to some contract-ops legs, throw a balaclava and an M16 ontop, and bam! Plus he'll make good filler as a greenshirt outside that. |

I'm kind of going off of a reply I made to someone's comment on the KS site, but, to me, it looks like with many of these specialty groups (Recon, LRRP, Green Beret, etc.) that there was a lot of cross-over of uniforms, gear, etc. Meaning, you should be able to slap a green beret on a LRRP action figure and have a variant Special Forces figure and vice versa. Now concerning the Field Cap (mentioned in another post), MJ said on FB that they went with the field cap (1) to offer it in green through the KS and (2) because he's seen pics of Marine Recon wearing the field cap. Again, I'm no Vietnam historian, but from the approx. 100 photos I've seen on Google of "Marine Recon Vietnam" I can't find one photo of a Marine Recon wearing a field cap. In fact, there seems to be a pattern of Marine Recon wearing a boonie hat with the front flap pulled up--not sure if this was group "thang" or not. But honestly, if I were MJ, I'd swap that green field cap out with a new boonie hat in ERDL camo (whether the existing boonie available on their site, the new LRRP boonie, or an even newer boonie with just the front flap pulled up). I think the fans/supporters, especially Marine veterans, would appreciate a Marine Recon figure a little truer to its historical counterpart. And MJ can say that they'll offer a boonie in ERDL in the online store after the KS, but they could just as easily offer a green field cap in the online store. As we say down south, "it's six in one hand, and half a dozen in the other." Hopefully they change out the field cap with some type of boonie. I am excited about them offering a figure in an ERDL-type camo pattern. The variety from this KS alone will supply fodder for A LOT of GIJoe customs. Jason
