I wonder if there’s a BFS skin tone that will match the VC figures…then we can throw some bare feet on those legs.

My kids are about done with the action figure phase and with this stuff being 2 years down the road I might be wasting every cent I put toward this stuff anyway. Side note: I really hoped to see the WWII desert brits in the backerkit so we could get a buck with shorts into the mix. Dress uniform stuff was another pipe dream delusion I was entertaining. Alas... Yeah, sorry about that! I'm figuring like others have said...bare torso, VC legs, and BFS bare feet. I don't think we'll have to be too careful with the skintone matching across brands for the bare feet given that the VC pants look basically full-length so no shins are showing. Matching a 25th Quick Kick's head's skintone (or maybe a Gamerverse Ryu's head's skintone) to the bare torso will be more pivotal. Right now I have a BFS torso attached to a MTF trooper waist with 25th Quick Kick legs but a natively-compatible build with articulated ankles would be nice to replace it with.

I think the Wrath figures are supposed to have a buck with shorts. I can't do anything with the WWII Airborne trooper, but I would have used a Desert Brit shirt for Recondo.

Also, I may use the Airborne mowhawk head as the base for an MTF Zartan figure. Jason |

I think I've decided that the WW2 Airborne figure torso will make a good base for a Tiger Force Duke custom. Duke's original outfit looks more like some kind of short jacket or a jacket that is tucked in rather than a khaki shirt. I'm hoping that based on the mock-up image that the green is a little lighter, but I'm not holding my breathe because the WW2 Japanese-American (I think it was) was drawn with a very light green and all the figures came with the same tone of green.

Maybe I misunderstood but I thought that if you pledged the Mayhem and, say, an additional $139, which is the amount for the squad-level pledge, then you could get the Mayhem figures plus another six of the original unlocked figures for the cost of a second pledge, but I don’t see where one can do that in the backerkit survey. I know that the backerkit figures like MACVSOG can’t be selected for either but I don’t see how I can add another six for the price of the squad-level pledge or additional $139 that I pledged before the KS ended. Anyone have intel on this?

That change in green on the Nisei soldier irritated me. I was looking forward to having a variation in the green. Any sort of mass produced garments will have variations in color due to production variables and fading, so it would have added a little bit of realism. But people complained that everything wasn’t going to be all matchy-matchy so I got changed.🤷🏿*♂️
But I've learned to expect that the final products will be fairly similar to the mock-up designs. I'm really hoping the factory can get the heads sculpts close to mock-up designs. Jason |

Yeah, I remember with the WWII kickstarter I was kind of disappointed how the "Hank" head ended up actually looking compared to the mock up. It's not bad just looked different from what I thought.
