Will they be operatives separate from the Joe/Cobra factions? Will they get their own code name and join the team? How do you see these fitting into your collection once they arrive? And how many more do you think you'll purchase?

What I'll probably do, is since I see most if mine being cobra troopers, I'll probably line them up in their battalions next to my cobra army builders. The desert troops looked more Joe-ish to me, so they might fill out my squad in the tomahawk.

I haven't gotten multiples of any single style of figure, so I'm probably just going to make some independent operatives and some new Joes. We'll see what happens once they're in-hand. Can't wait though.

I've got 4 of each figure coming (someday). I see most as Cobra teams. Maybe some could be joes.

The solid green figures with this head will make good Hydra Soldiers.

I need to spend some times going through the options, but my thoughts pre-delivery were:
4 x Tan - Joe desert troops Dusty, Sandstorm, Night Fox and desert Crosshairs or maybe a version of Doc 4 x Black - UK Action Force with some SAS characters or versions of Soap, Ghost and James Bond 4 x Grey - Cobra urban fire squad 1 x Blue - Cobra officer or a version of Scrap Iron. 2 x Red - battle ready Tomax & Xamot with a nod to the original Red Shadows 1 x White - not sure, maybe a Storm Shadow v2 or a homage to an Action Force snow trooper I had as a kid. 1 x Green camo - not sure, maybe Kamakura or Falcon. |

I plan on using the Tan set up w/ a blonde head for a Freefall custom. These figures turned out even better than expected. Gonna use the Blue as Some type of Cobra trooper.

Here is what posted last May, the plans I came up right when the Kickstarter closed:
Quote:
I bought in at the Commodore level (plus a bunch of extras) and here is how I envision my Marauders:
4X Desert-Ops (tan) - To me, these are the regular Army troops that would fight along side my Joes on special occasions. Four figs makes a nice little fire team. i'm thinking M-4s for everyone, with two guys as basic riflemen. The third would be a machine gunner, with an M249 as his primary weapon. The fourth would either be a sniper (with a 50cal or M200 from MGR) or a grenadier/anti-armor man (with the grenade launcher from Ultimate Flint or rocket launcher from Ultimate Duke). 4X Urban Ops (grey) - I see a few options here. 1) Use one for a quick custom Firefly, though the Retaliation 3-pack fig nails the classic remake for me. 2) SWAT team. 3) Urban Cobras who support POC Firefly and are like JV Alley-Vipers. Give them a bunch of close-quarters SMGs like MP5s and shotguns to clear buildings. 4X Night Ops (black) - These can make for great sci-fi-ish troopers with the full armor package, but i really think that they are begging to be only one thing: IRON GRENADIERS! I love the idea of mixing and matching different colors of figure and web gear. Trading around the tan, green, black, and grey can do a lot for the more realistic tan and green figs, but I think this is where we can have the most Joe-niverse fun. Paint some gold highlights on the figure and mix in some red gear from LOGAN/NATHANAEL and you've got new front-line mercs for Destro's private army. Not sure what weapons would suit them best, but they would need to be futuristic-ish. Maybe "commando" rifles or Vector SMGs. 2X CARMEN Spec Ops (green) - The obvious sci-fi use here is for Colonial Marines (with the MGR pulse rifles). In my Joe-niverse they'll be either regular Army (like the tan figs) or some heavy green-shirt Joes who would back-up POC Beachhead on a mission. Give each one an ACR with some personalized modular accessories to make them unique. 4X GUERERRO Security Ops (blue) - This is my Cobra fire team. All will get a mix of AKM/AK47/AKs74u and old school RPGs. Alternately, depending on how the NATHANAEL red tactical vest looks and how well the Hasbro heads swap here, we may have a great update to the old-school standard viper. 2X JULIE Arctic Ops (white) - I would make this a winter sniper/spotter team. The shooter would get an M200 rifle and a T9 SMG as a personal defense weapon. The spotter would get binoculars or a spotting scope stolen from another fig and an assault rifle (deluxe ACR, commando, or FOS). Mixing in some of the grey or green web gear and pouches could work really well here too. 2X LOGAN Command Ops (red) - These are an obvious update to the Crimson Guard and i can picture them being the lower-level CG troops led by the Retaliation CG or the Crimson Horsemen. These guys would get "commando" rifles or Vector SMGs similar to my "Iron Grenadiers." Alternately, you could go really heavy with their weapons--like gatling gun heavy--and make them into CG Immortals. |
