Its time for the next Joe!

[FLOSI]

We're not getting crap tonight.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Yeah I have a feeling we wont see anything on a new joe either.

​

lol, I didn't mean I'd PREFER the Devil's Due look (black sweater, watch cap) for Shipwreck, just that it would seem more appropriate to how the line is going. You know, all "realistic/modern" and what not.

I just don't see them going for the classic look, that's all. If they do I'd be pleasantly surprised.

C'monnn Low-Light.....

Realistic/modern would be that new digital blue Tigerstripe the Navy's experimenting with. Though, while that helps camoflage the seamen, how the ____ are you supposed to see them if they fall overboard or need air rescue?

Also, they are on a giant ship. you will see the ship before you even see the personnel.

Whoever's making the decisions for camo should be drawn, quartered and left to hang out in the sun. With the exception of the *cough* Marines, the rest are ____ing retarded. ACUs might as well be called "Sniper Bait Pattern." Same thing with ABUs and the new Navy Tigers. They don't blend with ____.

The ACU is good if you are prone on a gravel road..or a couch like that one pic that was floating around. ABU is def. worthless. I just looked over the Navy Stripe Camo..that is retarded too. I felt very exposed in the digi camo. Not a fan. Much prefer the desert storm style uni.

Also...according to the higher ups in the military, we the soldiers designed the new ACU. HA!

 

[Scarrack]

I'd like Shipwreck in Navy Seal Dive Gear.

 

[DinoDB1975]

No, tonight is the night they announce that Flint is shipping soon. Next week will be the annoncement that you can get on the waitlist for the exclusive. The week after that will be the announcement that the regular is in-stock.

The announcement for Stalker will be during Spooktacular.

Spooktacular will give us a silhouette teaser of Stalker. Preview and preorder will be early February.

Crimson CC vs. Timber dio will be next week.

Yeah, we'll get new production pics of Flint tonight. If that's all, hopefully we get to see his beret less portrait.

Also, I know you two totally didn't mean anything about it, but "spook" use to be a derogatory term for those of African descent.

 

[FLOSI]

GIMME STALKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bloodsport]

Big BOa baby. Bring on Big Boa. That figure will need a new muscle body.

 

[devlinboy]

i believe you mean BIG BOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bloodsport]

Hot Toys are pumping out new figures daily. Sideshow just pumping out statues and the only figures are the funny looking Disney figures. Seriously does anybody buy these Disney figures? Big Boa, Croc Master, Doc, Quick Kick, Spearhead would be nice. Or give us the arctic Cobra Ninja, better yet the just Timber only.

Hmmm. Last I heard the general who approved ACUs and the XM8 project was pending investigation and possible court martial for taking bribes. The charge for ACUs is pending decision regarding the results of the MultiCam testing in Afghanistan (for potential replacement). Was that just rumor mill?

 

[Bloodsport]

Sideshow please make Fast Draw. What a figure?

yeah,with Hot Toys pumping out a 12" figure every 2-3 weeks...imagine if Sideshow did that with the Joe line...eventually, everyone will get their favorite joe and we all wont be dead from old age waiting to get it.

Not sure if that is rumor or fact. But i did hear about some Gen. getting some flak. Anyone who thinks the system is not corrupt is crazy.

I do like the multicam. Works great in woodland, mountain, and grass.

The current ACU sticks out like a sore thumb. Sometimes i would see troops in the cities who looked like they were glowing due to the contrast of the tan buildings in the combat area.

Sorry, misspoke. Put Casey in there as the General who approved XM8. Dont think it was him.


Also, When my unit complained to our CO about the ACU he told us to shut the hell up and said that he was told 90% of the grunts approved of the ACU back in the development stage. There is no way in hell that is true.

Well, I suppose if you get shot at, you can always kick open a door, run inside and dive on the first couch you find!

Yeah, knowing the Army, they'll want to pin it all on one person.

 

[devlinboy]

after you get a little dust on the ACU it is ok, but fresh out of the wire you look like a shooting gallery duck

here is a summation of an article about the politics behind the non replacement of the colt m4/m16:

We don’t have to replace the M4/M16 immediately. Have a user test with existing, off-the-shelf systems and a range of soldiers who represent our entire Army structure. Once the solutions are “soldier tested,” then make changes to a “soldier selected” weapon. It may be the Colt system at the end of the day.

Let’s do this quickly without all the bureaucracy typically associated with change. Find someone in our ranks who can make a decision — who hasn’t floated a retirement resume with a gun company — and make the decision now. Just look how fast we were all issued the “highly coveted” black beret or the digital uniform. Find that recipe card, change out the word “Velcro” with “battle rifle” and that may be a start to finding a solution.

Our men and women deserve much better than we are giving them, and shame on us.
