Oh yeah. Forgot about those forearms. We have to thank Bobby for that snafu. He used those arms on the MCC CO and CT. The elbows are wonky with that combo. I think I have plenty of wrist articulated hands to swap out if needed.

Yeah. 2009 Baroness is still 25th. I wish they would have used Pythona's torso for her. Or the one they used for Dr. Biggles-Jones ( if it's not the same as Pythona's.) Hopefully, Scarlett will use that Pythona torso if they are not going to sculpt anything new.

Please do not use that 50th CO/Shooter torso for the next female figure. Please never use that again. It's so frail, and out of proportion. Plus there is no elbow ROM. I know it's more PC, but that torso is just terrible.

A limitless retool to the upper torso to include the sculpted Cobra logo and I think the ROC Baroness body would be good enough. I wish they would have used the con head with the headset... that’s probably the best Baroness head we’ve got so far.
The Shooter sculpt is fine for what it’s supposed to be, an female equivalent to the OG 13 sweater body. They need to get better wrist pegs and a smaller holster and I can support it for fighting, non sexy females

Yes, I wish they had used it too. I think the 2009 head can look ok with proper paint apps (which the 50th reissue lacked), but it's inferior in every way to the SDCC head.

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:

Top notch work there!

I used soft goods on a couple my customs. I never intended to, but it worked out so you can get nice small detailed stuff I guess, like Slice's Customs mentioned.
Gave Pathfinder a fabric vest cause it would allow for all his gear that the plastic one didn't allow for.



And there was no head to mimic the vintage Rampart hood so I just made one out of Dusty's cape.

Can also put the goggles up too


Hasbro should have been able to give us the hoses for Charbroil too, so if they tried, they can get a lot of detail.

They also re-used it in one of the SDCC sets too. I liked that one the best cause it was all black, but I didn't like the head.


I'm still debating if I want the new Baroness or not if I see her cause I like the new paint on her face.

[lespaul59]

I'm leaning more and more towards canceling my Snake Eyes pre order because it's not a figure I gotta have, plus I could put the money towards figures I want more.

[Adventure Fun]

Snake Eyes, SS, Hiss, and Baroness back up!

The difference between Walmart's handling of exclusives and Target's is staggering. Besides the AWE Striker, I think anyone who wanted to could have gotten whatever they wanted.

I just don't get Target. Or Hasbro. Or why it has to be so hard to give companies money in exchange for products.
