Finally, some OD greens!

I don't really care much for the set; but for damned sure, I'll be getting a couple sets for my Joe team.

Nice. Those would work well for joes.

He's got that perfect dumb look.




Sucks that they didn't include the V-Lights and Manta Strobe the CIRG figure had (I'm missing those from my set). That shotgun ammo strip would be prefect for modernized Flint kitbashes.

Glad he's coming with a gas mask to hide that stupid smirk.

hly $#T when was this announced?

I like this better than the black version. Definitely looking out for this if price is good.

Nice set. Defintely some custom fodder there.

Never picked up a Soldier Story...
this will be my first for sure.

I'm sure it won't be your last, buddy!

And prepare yourself to spend HOURS to get this figure fully-kitted. LOL

That's the best part.

TRUE THAT!

I'm only familiar to Sideshow and Hot Toys, which come packaged ready to go. How does a figure like this (from soldier story) work ? Do you just buy the clothing, accessories, and supply your own body or what ?

For SS figure, the package itself comes with what is advertised. You get the full body figure with clothing, vest, bag and accessories. Like the lads mention, the best part is really spending time to gear up accessories to the vest.

I started SS with Neptune Spear and since then I am hooked! More than 5 figures now. SS is one of the best in this line. I can't wait to get this and U.S. AIR FORCE TACP/JTAC!

Exactly what Leafster said, pal

And if I may add, I also find Soldier Story's base bodies very impressive. Not brittle, doesn't look/feel cheap, and well-articulated.

While I may not get this since I have the CIRG with better headsculpt, I might get the JTAC with Cheadle head.

I agree, I like SS bodies quite a lot, but their heads especially on older figures can be extremely undersized so beware:

I should also add, that the figure pictured there looks fine with his helmet on:


Many of the recent SS figures though have proportionate heads, the CRT guy is one of them.
I'd rank some of SS most recent head sculpts and paint on the same level as Hot Toys, for instance:

It may not look 100% like Aaron Eckhart but it does look incredibly life like.

Not digging the head sculpt but a definite buy (maybe x 2). Passed on the other version but this one looks nice.

I know it's been suggested using the BDUs for GI Joe Greenshirts, but if you remove the patches and use some SSC Joe patches, you have a pretty good modernized Greenshirt right out of the box. Just need to replace the head sculpt for multiples.


The body from this one is a new updated Soldier Story 2.5 body. Changes are a new rubberized upper torso, longer neck with internal neck joint, shorter forearms, longer mid torso, larger lower torso, bigger butt, wider shoulder opening for better movement, and ankles like Hot Toys True Types.

Nice to hear about the updated body!
