SSC Beachhead

Re: Beach Head Teaser/Preview

Holy freaking crap I love that exclusive sculpt and the figure itself. The sculpted portrait gives me a total 1950's cartoon soldier vibe (somewhere between Sgt. Rock and Beetle Bailey ) which I love. It also seems to accentuate the drill instructor nature of his character on base. I can see how it wouldn't be for everyone but Beach Head is SSC's best. figure. from any line. to date. Well done!

With Duke, Flint and Beachhead, I think it's going to be hard to have a "best" figure. SS's best line? No doubt.

Where the HELL is his Moustache and Goatee?!!!

Plus he looks like he loss his dentures WTF?

Its based on the comic. Thats why he doesnt have the mustache and goatee.

The Ex looks really cool to me and he has a ____ load of gear. Love the job done on this one and will look forward to Q4 when he finally ships.

Agreed. I think BH has a couple of extra touches like the extra head that can actually wear the beret that's been attached to his shoulder for so many years, the crossbow, finally adding the boot knife, etc., that put him over the top but a case can definitely be made for Duke and Flint as well (pity Firefly's modernization takes him out of the running.)

Its cool that BH's laser rifle is green compared to the black ones carried by Duke and Flint.

I hope that goggled Snake Eyes comes with a scorched portrait as his exclusive.

SS's best line? No doubt.

You said it! Finally got some Joes to fill the ranks!

I still would like to see Sideshow's take on Cobra Commander's face too.

Re: Beach Head Teaser/Preview

I wasn't going to get the exclusive, but I thought of how he'd look unmasked next to Flint and Duke, and so far it's such a mean looking crew that I couldn't pass.

Re: Beach Head Teaser/Preview

Khev I think you can still include Firefly in the discussion of one the best figures. He still looks totally kick ass.

Re: Beach Head Teaser/Preview

I still think Firefly is a top notch figure, but not being close to the original does hurt his "best" running.

I hope not.

Revealing Cobra Commander's face is going a bit far.

Yeah, I suppose it does a bit. Still a top notch figure like you said.

Re: Beach Head Teaser/Preview

Ya know all the Exclusives we have gotten lately make a punch dagger look kinda weak..

Re: Beach Head Teaser/Preview

Yea, his big sword or another head would have been better, but SS prolly planned the line out more after he was done.

Exactly! Think of how much cooler he'd be now if he was being announced. He's already a awesome figure but each release gets better IMO.

Re: Beach Head Teaser/Preview

WOW . . .

I am impressed . . . with both figures.

I cashed in my reward points towards the regular version and going the flex pay route on the exclusive.

I'm aware of where it's from. I still prefer the face from the 11th Editon of Beach Head over Pop-Eye the Sailorman.

Regardless I still bought the EX. If the exclusive was a ballerina skirt or a jar of piss, I would still get it simple because it's Beach Head.

Re: Beach Head Teaser/Preview

If you don't like the sculpt, why get the exclusive then?
