Its time for the next Joe!

Rock 'n' Roll needs the M240B if they're not going with his original amalgamation.

It'll still allow him to have his crossed ammo belts too.

PERFECT for Rock N Roll

PERFECT for Rock N Roll

Yep, excellent choice.

 

[devilof76]

Ok Sideshow, we figured it all out. You can announce him now.

 

[DPrime]

Yup, no development needed at this point. Blonde? Check. Beard? Check. Crossed ammo belts? Check. M-240B? Check.

That's all you really need. Make it happen, Sideshow.

Seriously, this doesn't even need to be one of the expensive figures. Maybe give him a pistol belt and M1911, helmet and that's it. He doesn't need to be as geared up as the others.

EDIT: Exclusive can be the MG-3.

 

[ProgMatinee]

I would make the sweater exclusive just like Stalker.

Lame cop-out. No need for him NOT to have it in the first place.

I think the only reason Stalker had that was because doing the camo pattern might not come out right in the sweater fabric...

At any rate, every exclusive should be different.

None of the greenshirts need to be geared up to the nines. Rifle, helmet, sidearm, and whatever distinguishing feature the originals had. Bandoliers for Rock n Roll, backpacks for Flash, Breaker, and Short Fuze (maybe a pair of glasses), etc.

Zap and Grunt...

They had no distinguishing features.

 

[EVILFACE]

Yea, they just need their bare basic fuction weapons and nothing else other than a 1911. Helmet with visor. Clothes? Just matching colored outfits using the same pattern shirt and pants and boots from Duke, Flint ect.

Rock N Roll - Dark Green - M60
Zap - Light Green - Bazooka
Short Fuse - Olive Drab Green - Mortor
......

Gear 'em up! Sideshow has a bunch a stuff already made. It can all be re-used.

Grunt could use some typical infantry stuff - frags, smoke grenades, a small pack (NOT that one-strap schoolbag though - I'm so sick of seeing that!).

Zap would likely have a few rounds of ammo, pistol. Maybe some TNT or something, I don't know. I remember he blew up a big door once in a cartoon episode with some.

Yeah, but if it means we can get a few figures at the Cobra Trooper $90 price rather than the $125-130 price, we can sacrifice a few extra hands and weapons for the savings... Save the expensive gear for those who need it.

 

[devilof76]

It's easy enough to buy extra canteens and pouches if someone wants all that. I can see a few grenades, but even that I can live without.

I've always thought these should be no more expensive than a basic Cobra Trooper.

Meh, hopefully Sideshow won't listen to that. I like getting the figures and having the ability to gear them out to look more modern. Whether or not I use it on the figure, I'll have stuff for future kitbashes.

What's wrong with Toy Anxiety or Black Op Toys?

Nothing, but you know as well as I do Sideshow'd charge a price relative to the other figures they're releasing. Might as well have that padded with accessories.

 

[devilof76]

I see your point. The Cobra troopers have more gear than Flint. If greenshirts came with a rifle, sidearm, webgear and a pack, they'd still probably start at $125 minimum. $90 troopers aren't coming back.

Exactly, and at $125, they should be gearwhores.

So...Zartan and Rock n Roll at SDCC?

 

[The Craw]

so does anyone think they might unveil a new female body and some female charaters at this years SDCC, or is it still too soon for that? i haven't been paying attention to the Q & A's.
