I'm glad they're taking the liberty of inventing faces. They're giving them insane amounts of character. This line has become a lot like The Dead in that regard.

I do too. He looks like a real world soldier and not some movie soldier who walked off the fashion runway to dress up in a military uniform.

I gotta say, even though I got out of this line, and I never cared one way or the other about Beach Head....
This release just about made me change my mind and jump back on the G.I. Joe wagon. He looks AMAZING, and everyone will look great together, which is so important.

I can see where you're coming from, and I agree that SS is really having fun with this line by making all these figures and having their interpretations of each. Since I'm just an average Joe collector and not a die-hard fan like most of you guys I just want the version that I remember from the cartoons. I'm just now getting around to reading some of the comics so I doubt I'll ever see most of the character versions that you guys are mentioning. I'm just really happy SS is catering to all Joe fans.

Re: Beach Head Teaser/Preview
The unmasked head is growing on me a bit as time goes on. However, just like Storm Shadow, there is absolutely zero chance of me displaying Beachhead without his green balaclava, so I've got no reason to pay the extra cost for the Ex.

Now that is a thing of ____ing beauty. Can't wait to have these 4 in hand. Yo Joe!

Ordered my ex last night. This line is so powerful, I will be clearing out some of my other collections to make room.

Re: Beach Head Teaser/Preview
i knew this figure would be more expensive based on the new base price Flint set, but I like that ex head enough I took the bait, hook, line and sinker!
I did note the ex price difference is $10 instead of normal $5, but I can sorta understand since you get the head plus a hard beret.
edit, actually I'm surprised to see the reg price for both Flint and Beachhead are the same price...interesting!

What do you guys think of the camo pattern on the pants? What style is that with the little squares? The boots look dope from what I can see, too.

They look phenomenal.
I'm nervous about when they start bringing the ladies in. These are hard men, and the women have to be just as fierce.

The ladies need to be sexy and bad ass at the same time. I don't want Scarlett looking militant butch.

Conversely, I don't want Barbie or something Triad Toys would come out with. No rooted hair!

rooted hair from some companies don't look too bad, but SSC never was one of those companies.
Luckily a few of the ladies have pretty short hair or a ponytail which will look ok sculpted.
Not sure how the Baroness would look with sculpted hair.

Re: Beach Head Teaser/Preview
Rooted hair crosses the line into Barbie territory for me. We all have some line somewhere distinguishing things you can and want to collect, and things you don't and can't collect. Rooted hair is on the other side of my line.

I preordered when it went up but couldn't check the forums until much later due to us having company over. I expected a ton of bellyaching over the exclusive headsculpt but was quite surprised as well. Here's the rare example where everything SSC did either honored or enhanced the character.

Re: Beach Head Teaser/Preview
to be fair to SW there's only so much you can do to an existing design.
SSC just needs to be more willing to pick from the cooler design characters. Episode I is stacked with really cool costumes, the Nemodians, the Naboo soldiers, etc, if only they would start doing some of them.

QFT. I guarantee their hands are tied with taking liberties to enhance the character design. I hope they can give us a couple more 1/6 SW figures that are home runs.
