Not an army builder per se. I bought two Viper-Pit 6 packs, though I have only modified one set for use. (I bought these since I only had one of the 1986, and I had always wanted more.) I should take the time to modify these to bring out an even dozen. (Although a few have been given other heads for the "helmetless look."

I have 4 1988 IG's, though they are rarely used, which is shame on me...
I applaud those who choose to army build and those who choose not to. I only have two hands and limited funds, so I don't "need" more than 6 of any figure... 3 to 6 usually does it for me. (3 1985 CG's, 2 1986 BATS, 2 1985 Eels, 2 1985 Snow Serpents are ones who come to mind.)

I DO love to see massive displays of others, as it is really cool. It shows your patience, enthusiasm and photography skills. Good thread!

I'm not really a huge army builder, but I do have two of the old Toys 'R' Us Cobra Infantry packs, so I guess that means I have eight Cobra troopers from those sets... But they have different skin tones and hair colors, so do they still count as the same figures? Likewise, I have eight 25th blueshirts, but they're a mixture of the 5-pack, Cobra Legions, single pack, ranking officers, and DVD pack sets, so they have slightly different paint schemes from one another.

If we're just talking about absolutely, completely identical figures that I have more than one of, then it's three JvC Neo-Vipers (the gray ones that came with Wild Bill).

Personally, I see no need to have hundreds of any one troop type (10 is usually more than enough for me), but if it's something that makes other people happy, who am I to question it?

By army builder I think that the figure has the same uniform as the others, if the head and skin is diffrent then that is just bonus for extra detailed army builders.
So the toys r us figures are army builders and the mixed 25 blueshirts are notl.

Single Figures? Have to be a tie between my 31 V1 Vipers and my 31 V1 Iron Grenadiers.

I have like 30 (5 setts of six) pf the Viper pit and the Night watch, but since they aren't identical I guess they don't count. I have about 34 CLAWS, but they are various versions! I do have 30 DTC Cobra Troopers!

I usually collect Army builders in squads of 10, but if they are low on the cobra heirachy, (Vipers or blue Shirts) I go with a platoon of 30.

Well, as a keen army builder, with my Cobra Legion nearing 1,100 figures, you might think I have enormous numbers of some troops, but the most I have of any single figure is 24, which is shared by v1 Vipers, Night Vipers, Night Watch Troopers and TRU Blueshirts. Then it would be 18 Shadow CG's and 16 Techno Vipers and 16 Skull Squad Troopers. But if you're talking type of troop, it would be the 120+ of various Viper versions, and 60+ of various BATs and 50+ of various CG's. Hmmm...now I know where all my money went...

My joes are packed it totes in no real order from my old ones to the new ones. I know I have excessive amounts of several figures, the new blueshirts and crimson guard but thanks to toywiz having marked down the red ninjas I now have a total of 50. Ninja ku I so far have 16. I have a plethora of all the Storm Shadows guess I could just use them as white ninjas.
