Cutex nail polish remover, but mostly water, because I wet a piece of paper towel, squeezed out the excess water, applied a minimal amount of nail polish remover to the moist towel piece, re-wet it with a sprinkle of water, and then rubbed the paint off of the mouth with rapid scrubbing for a few seconds. Then I rinsed the figure's head under running water, inspected for any missed spots of paint, and repeated a second time as necessary. The nail polish remover was so diluted using this method, that no damage was done to the toy.

I'm a country mile up the road from Smallville and the local Wally-World is stocked up on dusty boxes of Blue Hiss tanks. There are more of them than Classified figures from the Snake-Eyes movie. No other Classified figures, and only Stalker/Trooper retro figures (10-15 each) though they had Grunt and his counterpart a few weeks ago.
If this is correct, let me know. Maybe we can meet for lunch and talk toys. |

I just returned from a road trip from MI to NC. Stopped at 6 different Walmarts between OH/WV/NC, only to find two officers and zero Grunts, and a crap load of Stalkers and Troopers at one of them.

For those of you who have Stalker or Grunt, just wondering about the hand and feet proportions. I have the Retro Pilot that came with the FANG and it looks like he has size 30 shoes and can palm a beach ball.
I know the Trooper and Officer are the same body mold, but are the proportions on the Joes just as bad?

No. I say the Joes proportions are really good. They don’t look like Fortnite figures like the Cobras do.
That said, I actually really like the Cobras too. I swore I wouldn't get the. But in person, really not as bad (to me) as the pictures seem to make them out to be.

Middle figure is a hybrid of parts, replacing the CT's exaggerated parts with Stalker parts:

@HissHissFangFan -- That's a gorgeous fix. Did you have to sand down the texture on the arms?
@nighthawk, @AdventureFan -- Thanks for the info! I don't mind the Pilot figure that much -- the sculpting details are great and I love the head. I just can't get past that the feet are 50% bigger than any other figure...

For the Cobra Troopers, I don't know why, but it just didn't bother me as much. I guess I'm just a sucker for anything Joe related at the 1:18 scale...haha. If I somehow get an extra FANG pilot head, I actually want to modify the mask so it's removable, but I just don't want to go for it at the moment since I only have one.
