Re: Beach Head Teaser/Preview Awesome! He looks pretty much perfect and he comes with a ton of stuff. This is a strong year for the SS Joe line. I'm really digging the headsculpts on these Joes.

I agree with Mando. The 1994 Shipwreck was the best figure in the last year of the original Joes.

I'll still take one off your hands.

That head kicks ass just like all of your other stuff. I call dibs on a painted one if it's still available.

Awesome! This figure rocks. I definitely like the hardened look. This almost makes up for Firefly...almost.

I'm interested too. Maybe if I pick one up it will force me to get off my ass and make a custom or two.

I got this movie as a Christmas present but I hesitated to watch it out of fear. I finally decided to give it a shot. I feel violated. The costumes were so bad they would make Stevie Wonder cringe. The only real positive note was the Baroness/Scarlett eye-candy.

I remember my friends and I making a game out of it with dice. We would take inventory of the weapons that the characters had, and each one would do a certain amount of damage to a character's hit points. We used the Snake Eyes v3 nunchaku for grenade damage radius. Good times.

Re: SSC 1/6 Scale Tunnel Rat: Props To Larry Hama Tunnel Rat would be a cool figure further down the road. If and when he's made, anything less than the likeness of Larry Hama (in his younger days) would be blasphemy!

A Viper would be awesome. I'm not sure how a Tele-Viper would translate into 1:6 scale, but it would definitely have to be based off the classic design rather than a trooper with different gear.

One officer, one trooper and eventually one sniper. One of each is fine with me (and my wallet).

Chrome for both all the way. Polished aluminum or a similar metal would make a cool faceplate for CC. Destro's headsculpt would be trickier but would look awesome if Sideshow has the capability to produce it in the same material. That would eliminate the problems with flaking or paint wear.

Some classics: 1. Destro 2. Gung Ho 3. Roadblock 4. Stalker 5. Baroness 6. Snow Job In all of their 1982-1984 glory with some minor modern updates.

Thanks Mando! I've been impressed with the other figures so far and I think they've been a good representation of the classics with subtle modern tweaks. Firefly is a bit of a disappointment, but still fixable.

Major gripes aside, I'll still buy him, although this will be the first Sideshow Joe figure I feel I need to modify to get the look right. He comes with some great accessories and I like the headsculpt. A new uniform and some paint will get him looking like Firefly.
