Both Stalkers look great. I always loved that vintage figure when it first came out. I just couldn’t get into that club Budo. Colors too off and helmet too big.

Me too, I’ve always liked this version of Stalker. It always seemed like such a good deal to get a vehicle packed in with a regular carded fig. As a kid, I also liked the figs with pets for the same reason. My only complaint would be derpy eyes on this Club version. I’m not a customizer and I’m hesitant to even use a fine tipped sharpie to fix the eyes.

I think you have stalkers backpack/float upside down. I know it looks weird with the back hollowed out, but I think it is suppose to hook under the arm, like the balancing float

I used to think that but if you look closely, it looks like a radio molded on the top.

Wow, my account is still active Yo Joe!
Glad to see the past and present thread is still alive. Just came back to my Joe collection and I'm happy to see the Jonny is still very much alive!

Its funny how many of the 25th heads were worse than their vintage counterparts. It would have been better to drill out the vintage to plug onto the peg. Once POC hit this generally changed, but odd to see.

I'm surprised Hasbro or the Club never made this Scrap Iron version (not even a concept case mockup). I've seen others here use the POC Cobra Trooper body, but not the 50th Firefly whose collar and undershirt seemed to match up better without the original.
I don't take as many Past & Present photos as I would like, but in this case I had to pull out the original from cryo. My first pass at this guy was way too based on the Hasbro 25th version color details, such as a lighter blue base suit, and other odds and ends which I had forgotten if they were suppose to be red or black (knee pads, boots, leg gear, etc). The gold trim on my update is a probably a noticeable deviation--stolen from the ROC darker repaint. I made sure that at least the original didn't have those bits in silver. Coincidentally I've had to pull out another 1984 Cobra for a minor update these last few weeks. |
