Flint and I have completely incorporated the Joe/Cobra pets right from the word 'go'.......

We love using them hand in hand with the figures.....considering the prevalent theme of unity in our Joeverse, pets fit perfectly.

The wolf (Timber) and his visor are really what peaked my interest in Snake Eyes as a kid. Now, however, I don't find myself using the Timber much at all. AS for the others...I like Mutt and Junkyard as a pair and hate them alone. Same for Law and order, although I rarely use those two. I'd use Voltar and his Vulture if I had them. I really like the idea of using Freedom too, but don't have a good Spirit to use him with. *runs to ebay*

My thoughts concerning the others:

-Polly I have no place for, just don't ever need him when I'm using SHipwreck.
-Deep Six's dolphin, useless. But as a kid I thought it was cool that he came with one.
-The Manta Ray that came with hydro Viper, see above.
-Max just doesn'tdo too much for me, given I don't even have Spearhead.
-Dusty's coyote, Desert Storm was it, was an interesting idea, but would work better in dios as a wild animal and not a pet.
-Croc Master's croc, perfect for him!!!
-Serpentor's snake, I'm not a really big Serpy user to begin with.
-Undertow's barricuda was more of a prop than a pet, similar to Hydro-Viper.
-Gnawghyde is actually kinda cool with additional of the warthog. And what better pet for a 'Nok!

I actually "borrowed" Timber to use as a "pet" wolf in some of my Lone Snowserpent shots. I also have plans to use Law & Order as well at some point.

PA pretty well summed it up. Apart from the dogs, which obviously are based in reality, the rest of them are virtually just props, with no real value as "pets".

I think just like Outrider. The ones based in reality are very useful, altought the eagle of Spirit give him a more native american look, what's nice. Voltar's pet, a vulture, eeks.
