The "DEFINITIVE" Version?
Ok, how many figures out there have like 20+ Versions of themselves? A few come to mind! Duke, Roadblock, Snake Eyes and StormShadow, Cobra Commander.
I got to thinking the other day. When I do my dios, even though I may have 10 versions of a certain character, I chose a certain version for that particular scene. For Example, I used the Spirit from the DD 3 pack for my shots I did when GI Joe is attacking at night,( but I may use my DTC single pack for the day scenes, just because the color of the uniform. But the DTC mold is my "Definitive" version.) The one I chose to use over the others. Same with Major Bludd. The DTC is my Definitive version. The one I chose to use out of the 7-8 versions I have. But what about other figures? Which version is the Definitive version of the following Characters;
1. Duke
2. RoadBlock
3. Beachhead
4. Scarlett
5. Snake eyes
6. Stalker
7. Hawk (aka General Abernathy, aka Tomahawk)
8. Cobra Commander
9. Destro
10. Storm Shadow
11. Major Bludd
12. Baroness
13. Zartan
14. Zarana
15. Flint
16. Gung Ho
17. Lady Jaye
18. Dr MindBender
19. Xamot and Tomax
20. Clutch
You can add more if you like, but don't say "Night Force CrossHair" because I wanna know what sculpt, and there is only one sculpt of that character even though there are 3 color versions and in that case I can use the same scult throught my dio and just have the diffrent versions for the environment he's in! But saying "I like the Version of Barrelroll that came with the desert colored Glider" makes sense because there were two molds (the VvsV and the DTC, and you are highlighting one color variation of the VvsV mold) Am I making sense? Well, just try your hand at it and let me know!
