So,
I don't know if anyone has done it yet, but I decided to pull this quick fix on some Joes!!! As much as I love the PoC, and guilty like the SOME of the PoC figures, I still try to retain the characters in how they originally appeared in the Comic/TV series in the 80s. But I do appreciate adding new characters. Sandstorm looked pretty sweet when I saw his head for Zartan's disguise, and I did see all the sweet swaps they did with Sandstorms head from using the RoC Desert Ram Sandstrom, to using RoC Desert Duke. But none of them appealed to me. I was at Target the other day saw the PoC Recondo figure, and I realized that he had FODDER written all over him. His body may be Jungle themed, but the colors were enough for it to use as a desert themed outfit. So I took all of Recondo's head & webgear, and swapped it with Sandstorm's. I think it looks great and unique (making him more of a Joe than a generic troop), rather than having the bland desert camo the RoC figures have. Plus the skin colors of Recondo and Sandstorm kind of match, so it's hard to notice it. But I managed to also use Recondo's head for PoC Night Fox, and he does look a bit more Hispanic, rather than some masked figure that hasbro was too lazy to sculpt. And I finally used PoC Recondo's Hat and Rifle for the 25th version of Recondo so I can give 25th Recondo a bit more character as his original equipment was a bit bland. I hope you like the concept I came up with! Any opinions about it? |
