SSC Beachhead

[devilof76]

Either because they forgot to take out the cloth one when they took the shot, or because they wanted to show that the one that goes on his head is not the same as the one that goes on his shoulder.

This may be a dumb question but why does BH need a cloth beret on his shoulder if he already has a plastic beret on his head

I'm guessing that pic just shows both. The rolled up one really isn't a beret, just a mock one you can tuck there while he's wearing the balaclava.

I always laugh at the guy in the video when he says "and for the exclusive....we've unmasked BeachHead" just for some reason I thought that was funny

 

[EVILFACE]

Ever see the original figure?

 

[ezewok]

BEACHHEAD can kill COBRA Troopers with chewing tobacco.

WOW, 'cause there's a joke we haven't heard like 50 times already.

For all we know . . . this is Sideshow's way of teasing/testing a prototype for an upcoming 1:6 version of Popeye they're working on . . . the exclusive version will come with an open can of spinach.

I think it may have been mentioned before, but when watching the Wizard of Oz last week with my kids, I thought of Beachhead when the Lollipop Guild came on.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

he's not Popeye....he's one of the lollipop kids...

 

[the angry orc]

really impressed with the accessories. he is going to be a lot of fun to gear up.

If Sideshow wants to start putting Hot Toys heads on the Joes, I just ask that they first make any green shirts and Doc with as cool a face as Beachhead has.

Done, they are starting it with Dusty

And I can live with that. Only if they do the rest of '82 like Beachhead, Flint and Duke.

If not, then I guess five Joes will have to be enough (I'll get Scarlett no matter what; I'd rather she not look like Popeye). Would have been nice to have Stalker, Doc, Rock n Roll, Short Fuze, and Breaker with some character in their faces. I was never interested in much more than that (Will Bill, Gung Ho, Barbecue, Roadblock, Mutt, Spirit and Low-Light were the only others on my list.)

I'm not a Joe fan. I'm a Cobra fan. The rest of what I want is masked or female. So I'm still in. I just get to spend more money on Star Wars.

 

[EVILFACE]

GIJoe > Star Wars

 

[devilof76]

Not if they're just going to make a bunch of Hot Toys soldiers with ARAH designs.

Star Wars is getting into the best of its possibilities. They're two figures into the cantina, bounty hunters and Hoth are a year away, and they still haven't done tuskens, biker scouts, or a full reveal Vader. This stuff is why I started collecting 1:6 in the first place.

 

[Skiman]

Vader the Fett is all you need....

the rest is meh and continue with your glorious GI JOE line

While those are kewl looking, most do nothing for me. The Hunters? Besides Boba Fett, they all stood around for one sceen for few seconds, like most other characters in the flicks.

There are only about 12 or so SW figures I want vs 200 Joe figures.

But get what YOU want
