You guys are amazing.
I am blown away by the creativity, and oftentimes the execution. I'm currently going through the submissions, organizing them in advance of our team review, creating a consistent flow for each character, and helping clean up / optimize some of the photo submissions while I'm at it. You all rock. Seriously, I'm blown away by the participation. I know the team will be excited to see so much enthusiasm for this project. - Carson |

D?oh, so sorry!
Added him to the list. I may need to re-watch the movie before finishing with comments, but I think it?s a cool idea. Maybe ideally there?d be your ex-ARVN and then an ex-Montagnard as well, though not in the same wave. If the ARVN guy is in camo like Stalker?s, maybe a Montagnard would be in tiger stripes like Falcon. Maybe some ?Malayan Emergency? style troops would be interesting too. But to return to Tiger specifically, I like the idea of circling back to the early team and adding in a character who would help round out that team, as well as potentially add to the history and sense of personal connections among its members, stretching back to SEA. Have you imagined him as someone who knew any later-to-be-Joes back in the day? I like that you explained how he made it out ? that was my first question when I saw ARVN up top in the description. Have to assume it was the close connection with US personnel that got him the ride to a hospital that far away. Maybe a pretty serious injury too, if he left while US forces were still there and hadn?t returned by the time of the fall. I?m reminded of Hama?s story about Colton and his Washington visit, even though all the details are different. Snake Eyes more than once too. I feel like on a purely visual basis, adding another soldier in ?lizard camo? would be beneficial to the overall look of the team too. Having one camo guy alone was always a little awkward imo, even though Stalker?s very cool look made that a very worthwhile tradeoff as opposed to having zero. Tiger is a good name. Does it relate to the movie, or a story idea you have for him? Like I said, I?m thinking I may need to rewatch? |

Carson put a great video showing loads of submissions on Instagram its really impressive. Watching them I realise my lack of art skills is going to be an issue on my submission. Oh well I m still enjoying the project.

The idea around TGB was solely referencing the hat and not necessarily anything more. I was basically going for the idea of him being someone Hasbro could've made and cheaply back in 1982/3 to expand the team. I went with an Asian character since I remember Hama's comments in the past about being annoyed Storm Shadow was the sole Asian guy and was a villain. I also wanted to do a character from Asian who was NOT a *@#$ing ninja. All I had on the backstory is what's on the picture. The name is derived from 2 things: 1, tigers are my favourite big cats and 2, tigers were used on the logo of the ARVN special forces and ARVN Rangers.
I also always thought the early Joe team needed a Starlight scope too, but I’d give that to Shooter since they didn’tt give it to Stalker. A Swedish K somewhere in the mix would be cool too….at least, IMO…. Anyway, I like your thinking and I wish you luck! Last edited by books; 06-04-2022 at 04:49 AM.. |

Circling back to this comment for a moment, The Malayan Emergency was 1948-1960. Waaaay too early for anybody to still be in the military in 1982, except as a flag officer. Other than The Troubles in Northern Ireland, better backstory-fillers would be the Aden Emergency ('63-'67, although pushing it), Dhofar Rebellion in Oman ('62-'75, far better), Borneo Confrontation ('63-'66, again pushing it, though my Dad served in that and was 40 in 1982...) or of course, the Falklands in 1982 for anyone coming in to the Joeverse in 1983 or later.
