So my question is...do you make "Driver Sandstorm" & "Disguise Sandstorm" the same Joe?
With Ross unleashing the canceled Target exclusives on us... we now have 2 "Sandstorms" in a short amount of time. The canceled "Driver" one with the Desert Ram, & the unofficially named one that is Desert Battle Zartan's disguise... The disguise was called Sandstorm by a reps at the Cons & even an early leak of Zartan's ROC version file card (before the "movie likeness" heads were changed for POC) mentioned that he "murdered" Sandstorm & disguised himself as him. The name was dropped on the POC file card & now he is simply titled "GI Joe Trooper." Before that, we had the (now un-)canceled Target exclusive ROC/POC Sandstorm that has officially resurfaced for collectors. Both characters look different (w/ the Driver Sandstorm blue-eyed, covered & sleeked out, looking like he fits with TRU's ROC Desert Vs 5-pack.) & the other more of a Desert Wild-Boy/Nomad type. I'm interested in finding out if this guy is the same guy in your Joe-verse, or are they different people, maybe you have even made one of them a designated different already existing Joe (like Switch Gears)or a new Joe altogther with a new name (like "Sunburn")... Thanks! |

While I enjoy the Sandstorm figure, as well as Zartan disguised as "Sandstorm," no matter how many years go by, I still wish they would redo the original sandstorm.
With Dusty of course ! |

With an official release Sandstorm now availalble I've got to go with a different joe.
My baby boy isn't sleeping well so I was rocking him the other night and mulling over this same topic. Heres are some names I came up with: Sahara Mojave Dune / Sand Dune Desert Fox Sidewinder Sun Devil Tumblewood Sagebrush Coyote Sunstroke I liked 'Brushfire' too but thats doesn't have much to do with a desert environment. Anybody who is actually familiar with that climate have better ideas? Last edited by Dod Ear; 12-28-2010 at 11:28 PM.. |

I've yet to put a spin on where I view these characters, but they will likely be two seperate characters, and the Target uncancelled Sandstorm is likely the winner of the name.

Yeah Owner, I'm in agreement that the Officially named Driver Sandstorm is the winner of the code name, & now I need to name the Disguised Sandstorm something else, as I bought an extra Zartan just to make his disguise a full-time Joe to be doomed...

I don't have the Bike Sandstorm, and probably never will :S
In any case, in the Sigma line there's a desert guy that is not part of the arah line, called Desert Wolf. The bike-Sandstorm looks black, and has the desert camo pants. On the other hand, the disguise-Sandstorm has a considerable sunburn, and the Sigma Desert wolf doesn't has black features really (it's a Duke repaint), so i guess it might work for any Sandstorm *shrug* Ore make a new guy and call him "Sunbow"
