JoeDios.com Forums - View Single Post - The "DEFINITIVE" Version?

I've faced this question myself -- as some of you know, I've been taking a series of "class reunion" shots; group pics with all the Joes who joined the team (ie character first had a figure released) in a particular year. I'll probably post them at JoeDios when I have every year done, but there are characters I don't have any figures of yet (Starduster, Hardtop, Cold Front, etc...).

I was presented with the choice of which version to use from my collection; I was influenced by the comics since I follow them so closely, and being reunions it's how they could look now as opposed to back in the day. You can see the ones I've done already HERE .

So with that in mind, here's my list for this thread:

1. Duke - VvV (o-ring, not buttplug)

2. Roadblock - Spy Troops

3. Beachhead - VvV (I do like the JvC design but the proportions are too much)

4. Scarlett - VvV (ideally the single-card version, but I don't have her!)

5. Snake eyes - VvV with Timber, although I'm often drawn to the Ninja Lightning one.

6. Stalker - VvV

7. Hawk (aka General Abernathy, aka Tomahawk) - VvV (might use a comic pack/'86 combo in stories though)

8. Cobra Commander - ARAH version that came with Chameleon

9. Destro - gold-head Despoiler pilot

10. Storm Shadow - VvV (mail-in for when he's a good guy)

11. Major Bludd - RAH Chinese exclusive (I don't have the DTC one yet)

12. Baroness - VvV single card

13. Zartan - comic pack

14. Zarana - comic pack (because I don't have the Spy Troops version yet)

15. Flint - comic pack

16. Gung Ho - VvV (o-ring)

17. Lady Jaye - comic pack

18. Dr MindBender - VvV

19. Xamot and Tomax - original (would be the 6-pack ones if their suits were mirror-image)

20. Clutch - Mega Marines (really. I like the head sculpt, and the armour on the sculpt is cool. DEFINITELY needs recolouring though. I might pick the Desert Coyote's Double Clutch if I had him)

And I'd just like to add comic pack Firefly to the list, since he's had quite a few variations himself!
