Its time for the next Joe!

I really, really want Low-Light. It would be so simple to do.

A V2 Storm Shadow would be great, as long as he has NO Joe logo on his gi.

Unrealistic wants include:

SAW Viper
Wild Weasel
Ace

I don't see why they wouldn't do Ace, at least. Having a fighter pilot in the mix would be pretty cool and stand out. Only problem would be making it realistic but still look like the original figure, which kind of looked like an astronaut. I suppose they could go for more of the cartoon look though.

There hasn't been an Ask Sideshow in a while, but I sent them a question asking them if any characters that came with vehicles would be done in 1/6 scale. There seems to be a lot of support for guys like Wild Bill, Ace, and Wild Weasel, but I don't see Sideshow doing them in 1/6 scale. I'd love to be wrong, but what's the first thing you think about with those characters? Their vehicles - the Dragonfly, Sky Striker, and Rattler...none of those three came with any gear (except maybe helmets). It wasn't until the later releases that the drivers / pilots came with some gear, mostly only weapons. I guess Sideshow could just add gear on their own. A Wild Bill or Ace loaded with survival gear as if they were shot down behind enemy lines could be cool.

Don't look at it like that...

You've gotta stop thinking of them as Hasbro 3 3/4" toys. All the sculpted goodness on those figures would be actual accessories. Wild Bill would have a knife sheathed on the right side of his vest, a .45 on his left, six guns strapped to his thighs, removable glasses and cowboy hat, etc... Wild Weasel would fall into the same category. Ace could be a little light, but likely the detailed flight suit and helmet would make up for that.

Yeah, I was thinking that as I was typing, 'Nam, but I'd like the fully loaded guys like Snakes, Duke and Beachhead. Maybe they could do the pilots as 'Con exclusives or something.

I have seen a very nice kickass Wild Weasel custom, I'll have to see if I can find pics.

Oops, yeah, just realized you said Wild Weasel. Well, while you're busy tracking it down, we can enjoy this awesomeness, courtesy of Mando:

Team Testosterone has turned, we are flesh eating machines

I FOUND IT!!!!! I'm truly in awe of this...

 

[the angry orc]

[hansolo350]

I'm actually not feeling this. It's just basically your standard pilot with a red helmet and flightsuit. Kickass pilot custom? Absolutely. Wild Weasel? No.

I dig it!

Kickass!!!!

I truly hate that picture though. I really to need to reshoot the team in better conditions. Bill could use some fixes too.

I dig the Nosferatu sig, Orc!

I FOUND IT!!!!! I'm truly in awe of this...

Its solid work for sure and I like the Cobra airforce insignia. But, for me at least, Weasel isn't soley defined by his red flight gear but that big clunky helmet as well.


I f'n love multi-quote.

With help from Hot Toys Raptor could be a kickass figure.

Looking at this artwork again (and the 70's and 80's toys had awesome painted artwork) to me the 87 lineup with Crocmaster, Big Boa ect had a GIJoe Adventure team of the 70's to it.

Still think nice Croc Master would rock in 1/6!!
