Those new comics sound retarded.

 

[the angry orc]

Now it's just The Walking Dead and the reinstated Hama G.I. Joe.

same here. the walking dead is awesome.

still want to see some more pics of flint. hoping the headsculpt/paint look better in hand.

 

[FLOSI]

I'm going to go take my morning dump.

Uh no. The new comics have been totally fraking badass.

 

[lerath666]

ssoo.. suggestions on a replacement head?

Kinda leaning twords repainting the TT slim at the moment.

 

[ProgMatinee]

its way huge, but the TT broad shoulder isn't bad. probably too big though.

I'd see more Flint in the last reg TT head (the Cruise one) than the Prison Break version.

And I agree with Nam. That head (prison break) was released for folks to bash the Blade 3 baddie.

If I do anything, I'll be getting the SS head painted. The sculpt is still great.

That's your best out of the box option right now for swapping out. Definitely a great sculpt. Might not look gruff enough though for some folks I suppose.

I think he's talking about the reboot series by IDW, not the reinstated one by Hama. In which case, yes, it does suck.

Yep. ATM, the best option is the Cruise TT head. Sucks though because it doesn't exactly match up with Duke, nor, likely, the rest. If the head really is that bad, I'd love to see what a repaint could do before committing to a headswap.

 

[lerath666]

i was also looking at the Secret service guy one as well.

Imo, this head would make a better Flint, too bad the paint apps do not look nearly as good. I think it also come with the basic TT body before the Cruise one.

Yeah, he doesn't look all that mean but it could be a really easy and quick fix.

Crappy thing is I was on the fence to begin with, and you know how tough it can be trying to justify buying a figure knowing he'd need a complete repaint.... Still, looking forward to seeing how Flint looks with various head swaps and repaints though.

Didn't you think Duke was pretty damn good? The only complaint people had was about the hair, and mine turned out great, TBH. At least the Indy line was moving forward as far as overall quality was concerned. This step backward is really frustrating.

Ah I got ya.

The last TT head before the Cruise was the Scofield head. I don't think I've seen that head on a TT. Maybe the very first Caucasian release? In which case, it's looooooooooong gone.

 

[MANDO]

Yeah that was a TT head ages ago, like when the Beckham head was out.

I have absolutely no issues with Duke. The problem I have now is if a headswap is needed for flint, finding one that'll be on par with the rest of the Joes. The Cruise TT head looks too young and looks out of place alongside Duke.

I got lucky then, cause I just scored one on ebay last night.

Out of the box it looks like this.
