And here are a few examples with real fur , and tons of detailing: img]https://i.imgur.com/cqmtgSd.jpg[/img] Road Pig new era- 2 nd Dreadnok , and with this I am shining some light on how the Noks should be portrayed. Ruthless. Killers for the highest bidder. Savages. This version of Roadpig cuts no corners. Every inch hand painted Real concrete block for hammer Real chains, Real nose ring Export dipped wraps around hammer handle Real wire for meat shield Bat I invisioned Road Pig as a merc Biker based on real types of weapons. Boot knife, and clever. Here’s Road Pig, the 2nd to my ongoing Dreadnok Project: To be honest, I’ve never been a Duke fan. If anyone died more in my Joe battles he was the one haha. And over the years it’s be countless remakes , countless medicore figures, and just bland to me. I took Duke a different route. 3rd group bearded bad ass mo fo route. Now Duke looks like a man who has seen combat. Countless wars. The 1000 yard stare.A Boots on the ground GI Joe leader. He has been completely revamped from top to bottoms, Head all hand painted including the highlights in the hair, geared correctly, with homage paid to not only his colors, his signature binoculars and updated backpack as well. Real MSS ( Modular Sleep System) with Canadian Jam knots( Miltiary guys you know this not very well haha) Here he is:

I’m going to go out on a limb and assume Puma is Stalker.

That is my guess, or possibly hopeful assumption, as well. Fingers crossed.

I'm going with Flint. Others have said Gung Ho, which makes sense if the lines are intended to mirror each other in some way.

That would be sweet. I would love it if they used the entire POC CT future and webgear sans the head and gloved hands. They could use the gloveless hands from Lifeline and the club Jammer/TF Stalker head and beret. Deco with a full figure camo and your are done.
If they did a camo pattern, that would be sweet custom fodder. I'd have to get multiples.

Yeah so far they seem to be. I’d be happy with either of them. Flint and GH did have 50th builds already done so they’d have them ready to throw out in the new packaging. I’d be happy with either of the three. But if they do go with Flint I hope they correct the arms. Aside from the wrong sleeves it’s a really nice Flint. 50th GH is perfect as is. If it turns out to be Stalker I’d be curious how the execute the figure.

Sure, technically you can do it, but there are a bunch of practical reasons it isn't feasible. Think of any time they make clothing for a figure. The fabric weave, the stitch size... not everything scales, and even when it does, that extra effort toward miniaturization costs you. An itty bitty zipper for a 6" figure costs pretty much the same as a zipper for a coat you can actually wear. There's a lot of extra effort to overcome the challenges of scale, and you've got to (literally) pay for that trouble.
Sculpt fidelity drops the smaller tooling gets, so accuracy goes, and something as simple as paint thickness can make a huge difference. A single coat can make the sculpt pop on a 1/6 figure, but completely fill in the detail on 1/18 and make it look smooth and featureless. Gun barrels need to be made proportionately thicker to be appropriately durable, joints have to be larger to handle the stress that you put on it because leverage is a PITA, corners that would be a-ok on a larger figure become cutting edges when you get small enough so they've got to be rounded, etc., etc.. There's a reason Hiya Toys' 1/18 figures cost $20, and even then when you've got them side by side with a NECA figure they're still obviously not a detailed despite the matching price point. |

I actually like the 25th Stalker head better than the POC dread head, but if they decide to put one out with the Jammer head and removable beret I would by multiples for certain.
A new torso for Duke with the POC head, Retaliation Mouse arms, and a god pair of 30th legs would do it for me. That new torso could then be used with the arms we got with Retaliation General Colton (with gloveD hands) to make a vintage accurate Flint.

Cobra Commander, Duke, and "Puma." Well, I pegged two of the Wave 3 figures.
I am really hoping for the 50th Cobra Commander in dark blue and gold to pay homage to the mail-away figure. They could even have him in the bubble with the hood on and the "battle" helmet as an accessory (gold face plate?). Duke REALLY needs to be the 50th DOTD Flint build with ARAH color scheme. If this figure is not the DOTD build, then Hasbro will seriously miss a great opportunity to make all the fans/customers happy. Love him or hate him, you all know that a 50th DOTD Duke figure will be awesome. I'm really hoping for a Renegades v. 44/45 Duke head sculpt, but if not, I'll be swapping it out anyway. Now on to "Puma." If Hasbro goes with the DOTD Flint body for Duke - which by golly they better!! - then I just don't see releasing the same figure build for a second character in the wave. So, that means, to me, Flint is not an option as "Puma." Plus, "Puma" is a predator cat, like a "Stalker!" So, my hope here is for the POC body, I personally think Hasbro could get their money's worth out of this build because it's the perfect army builder, but with ARAH olive and dark green camo. I could live with the Jammer head sculpt, but hope they give it a darker skin tone than the Fan Club figure. Jason
