Whats your favorite Joe (Except Snake Eyes)
I got to go with Shockwave when I first saw the figure as a child I was suprised a such cool figure could be a good guy. There never were sold any Beachheads where I grew ups so this was the first masked figure on the good guy side. And the bright blue and blocky camoflage did not look so bad back then as it does now LoL.
Who is your favorite Joe? |
<-------- See my avatar!
(...And in case you're blinded by his all-consuming awesomeness, it's Duke.) |
let me see : beach head yep he rocks ( ARAH) , flint , shockwave , recoil , dusty (91) , heavy duty.

Falcon.
Tunnel Rat, Flash, Repeater and Muskrat get mixed up into it. |
I Gotta Say This Is A Tough One For Me. I Tend To Always Lean On The Side Of Cobra. But That Beeing Said I Always Thought Beach Heads No Nonsense Was Kick A$$. The Idea Of Chuckles Leads To Tons Of Espionage Scenarios, But If Were Talking Figures He's Not It. Then There Is Roadblock A Huge Monster Of A Man With A Huge Gun.

Storm Shadow by far...
It dont matter for me if he was a Cobra or a Joe... as I've always considered him having his own agenda, like in the comics. He is neither all goody two shoes, nor is he all evil and twisted. He has his own ethics and moral code of which he lives by, so if needed he can be completely ruthless and dangerous, or not. He is sort of an antihero for me...(you know, sort of enigmatic and neutral but his own agenda just happens to go along for the good guys, and he ends helping them... much like Sub-Zero in Mortal Kombat) So basically hes not part of my Joe team, nor is he part of Cobra (anymore), he sort of is there for himself (and his friends, who happen to be mostly Joes). Although the idea in comics of being brainwashed him back to cobra was the worst idea ever...but they did that for getting SE and SS on opposite sides again... I wish they would have made it some other way, cos' that was just stupid imo. |
Hard to say.
I kinda like Grunt and his commando sweater wearing ugly mug. But the 1991 verison didn't cut it. To me the basic infantry man is the heart of the team, not the loose cannons, bad arses and grand standers. To that end, Crazylegs, Dusty and Footloose are cool, too. Also, the niche specialists, Barbecue, Airtight...some of those are nice. Low Light has a nice anti-hero air to him. But then, along comes the 1991 mold and it messed with my view of the character. Still, he hasn't been totally fanwanked to death the way Beach-Head, Flint and Snake-Eyes (well, he was officially beaten into the ground) have. Honestly, I've often viewed the female characters as just window dressing. That's because they all have to be attached to a male joe. To that end, Cover-Girl is probably my fav of the lot because she's a "free agent' ;) and not an undercover/intell whatever type (no matter what Devil's Due thought). But to get old school, 1982 crew aside, the ones I played with most in the day were probably Airtight, Recondo, Beach-Head, Lowlight, Duke, Crazylegs, Dusty, Crankcase, Dialtone and Roadblock V2 (i didn't have v1). Of course that based on what I had so... |
Hardball, I love Hardball.
