Yeah, but he went out with style! Blocking the log bridge and going blade to blade with a Predator....good stuff! Just wish they would have shown it!

I know one of the Customizer sites has heads that look like Dutch, Billy and Blain. Can't remember if it was Broken Arrow toys or trigate creations! I got the Dutch head and put it on a Major Barrage body! Looks pretty cool!

Slightly OT, but have you noticed ROC Bench Press and ROC Duke (Desert Ambush) look like Mack Gerhardt and Bob Brown, respectively, from the TV show, "The Unit"?

I just went and made my own back when the ME/25th/early 'Resolute' line came out:




Methinks you've never seen the movie Predator

The next wave of figs. Recondo. Dusty etc,; is set to hit the American public roughly around September 1st. That is according to Big Bad Toy Store. I pre orderd the next wave from them.

Actually, several times....thanks ;)

PoC 'Spirit' is potentially 'G.I. Joe *Billy*' material....as has been discussed on other boards.

I'm confused here by your pic? Looks to be a picture of billy CC's son? The topic is of Billy from the pred movies. I think this is why Roland doesn't understand where you are coming from neither do I.

Haven't seen Predator?

It was at one of the roundtables with Hasbro that they said that they were doing a Predator-based idea. Not a full theme, but just playing with some ideas. I don't have a link for it anymore but I'm guessing if you were to look around at the ToyFair or ComicCon, then you'd find it.

I don't know that I can think of a better set of guys that would fit within the Joe mythos. If you think about it, those guys looked like Joe characters, you could tell they were military, but had their own interpretation of the uniform.

I've been shopping around the internet for Spirit, still no luck.

But some more Predator References:

Duke with the Alien rifle looking thingy, he resembles a blond Dutch.

Recondo might pass as Blain.

I'd really like a Mac looking character (possibly Roadblock).
