Thanks man! Appreciate the comment

I've been a huge Sgt Savage fan since the original debut. It was my first Joe cartoon (minus reruns of the original) and despite their size comparison to some of my original joes, I loved em. I only wish they made more than Savage, Dynamite, and D-Day (for the good guys) or that I received any of them besides Savage. That being said I've always wanted to have the team and now I do, so away we go... We'll start with the team shots and the reference in case any of you aren't familiar with the group Savage will lead off here. I've never had an issue with the Capt. America knock off back story because I felt it was changed up enough, and lets face it, Cap doesn't exist in the Joe world, to me at least. A simple custom with a leg change for height and some paint. Resolute RB and copperhead from the waist down and battle kata RB elsewhere. Next up is D-Day, the heavy weapons and hand-to-hand guy, Renegades Duke with a new head and paint. Next is Dynamite, demolitions, in my update I made him partially blind in one eye, he does love his explosions and it seems fitting for him. POC Duke with Res. Alley Viper legs and a new noggin. Grill, the mechanical savant and weapons guru, is a straight up Renegades Ripcord w/ new head. Headbanger, the comms specialist, still enjoys his rock but gave up "hippy" for mutton chops. Res Beachhead and new head. Mouse, not the pipsqueak from the movie but the REAL Mouse, is the largest member of the team and the hacker/computer expert. This guy was the challenge b/c of the height issue and after many many iterations and finally getting to drop the bazooka body in favor of the Retaliation RB (two of them I might add) I finally got a towering hulk of a figure Last but not least is Tank, the vehicle specialist, he's listed as the least developed character but he still stands out to me; a short stocky fellow with a block for a head, very distinguishable. This ones a Resolute conglomeration, Stalker and Gung-Ho as I recall. I'll tack these on as well so you can see just how much height difference there is with Mouse, and a custom RB and Major Barrage, with the normal figures I'm very pleased with the final product and I think I did them some solid justice, let me know what you guys think! Thanks to The Angel Forge for D-Day, Grill, Savage, and Headbanger And Onyx Phoenix Productions for Mouse, Tank, and Dynamite Awesome head sculpts all around, now if only my painting could do them justice.

GI Joe Figure Subscripton Service 3 Revealed
punishment-101 replied to RecklessEndangerment's topic in G.I. Joe
I gotta admit, while there are 9-10 of those I want (I didn't get a Nocturnal Fire set) I'll be waiting for them to become available on ebay or the club website. Really want to see their parts choice for Bombstrike. -
Backed! Getting one of each with squad commander level, I'd get more but extra spending cash is at a premium right now.

Air Head - Tank Commander Night Skull - Ninja Warrior Yellow Condor Jungle Panther I'm with the rest of ya, Cobra here I come

Don't forget Beachhead, never been to 'Bama myself but he still had a southern accent. It never seemed as heavy as Cross Country's thankfully.

Conceivably Sgt Savage could be their Serpentor. His back story involved being genetically experimented on by the Nazis in WWII. So while he isn't a genetic construct like Serp he does have some genetically enhanced abilities like strength and stamina (think the Joe's Captain America).

maybe he's trying to pull off an undercover op or something? Uniform would certainly stand out in that case -
New Snake-Eyes Image From G.I. Joe Retaliation
punishment-101 replied to The Wire's topic in G.I. Joe
seems to take some Resolute styling tips, definitely looks better than the ROC rubber band -
I had three lego technic figures that would always get "blown up" i.e. disassembled and scattered around the battlefield for ambiance. It wasn't that I hated them I just liked making my battles a little more realistic. Bad guys always got revived after a battle since I had a small number of figures but the good guys that died stayed dead till the end of the war (5 or 6 battles). Incidentally I used to have an old 92 Eel that met his end in a law mower accident, I would still find a piece or two for a few years after.

I don't think I can say about your figure that hasn't been said. Absolutely amazing figure Joe, beautiful work

You could be right, but it could also be that it's just so well integrated into the mold (combined with the lighting) that it's hard to see it, like the Joe trooper's ankle articulation looks like its just the wrinkles in it's pants (if it actually does have ankle articulation). I think they all have ankle articulation, if you look real close at the ankles there are slight ridges where the foot and leg meet, in fact it looks similar to the Renegades Scarlett ankles I like em all except Zartan, who will most likely be bought and turned into someone else, and what the heck is Duke supposed to be wearing?
