I like Big Ben... but I'm worried they will just do a straight up Dusty repaint with a new head.. and they shouldn't. Big Ben needs a more baggy or "puffy" look... same as Dusty should have gotten

I expect there will be some reuse from Rock & Roll as well with the ammo belts.

This picture seems more iconic, at least from my defective memory.

Most of the pictures from the Falklands show berets or helmets.

Here?s just a few examples:

A Real American Hero.

I do remember seeing an advert on TV, it might?ve been for Sgt Slaughter and the Triple T, which had the song lyrics ?GI Joe, International Hero? but the packaging was definitely ARAH.

I've seen a few Gung Hos at Targets and Wal-Marts, the detritus that naturally occurs from a fully sold case of BATs and Alley Vipers.

But can't miss the guy front and center with the "British Smile".
Hope Hasbro isn't that accurate with the classified Big Ben.

Big Ben V4 please.

Wakanda can help add more international flavor to the Joes.

Good use of the extra M'Baku heads if you bought a couple of ML Eric Killmongers back when he was $9.
