I love how RnR looks with the EX portrait and the helmet. Was hoping you could do that when I first saw pics. Good work. Get mine this week!

Hopefully they base him off of Michael Ironside. Be a nice nod to the OG figure who always reminded me of him.
Grunt is a must to the joe line, I hope they give him the proper nob hair cut to with his trademark widows peaks. The basic od bdu's with brown webbing and the m16. I still love my hall of fame grunt even thought his is out dated in many ways, too me he is still the best 1:6 grunt until sideshow make one
Hopefully he comes in at about $100.00 and the exclusive could be the classic gijoe logo t-shirt.

When you do get it and attempt this be very careful as I didn't pad the helmet with the included pads so that it would fit. Wouldn't want to scratch the paint with the straps and rigging.

Is it a tight fit?

Combover, maybe, but widow's peak?

Yeah your right, the 82 grunt does look like a comb over, hope they don't go for that look on the hair
I was thinking more of the hof version, on the hof file card I remender it saying he had widows peaks but I have the boxed one storaged away so not sure.

HOF. That was some high end quality stuff right there.
Not high end I know, but this is about 20 years old now. I grew up in the 80's with 3 3/4 joes as a kid and hof came out when I was a teen. The hof is when I started collecting and stopped playing with gijoe, back then they were awesome to me and I still love them today. The sideshow joes are miles better than the hof but I will always have a place in my collection for them(even if its in a box in the closet
)

Come on, EF, HOF was good for what it was. In 1991. Laughable now but for me, the first Joes I collected as an adult. I still have my Karate Choppin' Snake Eyes.

They were garbage. I was a teen when they came out and still had memories of my Adventure Team figures from the 70's and the HOF were no where close to them.
The only good point about them is their body is nearly indestructible.

No, but you just have to be careful as the clips obviously make contact with the head.
I guess late teens in order to have had 70's adventure team joes
I will say that the articulation sucks on hof compared to the 60s and 70's joes(even the 80's 3 3/4 joes had more articulation) I'm not saying they are great but they did start the rebirth of 1:6 back to the market, and if they did'nt exist nether would most of the current market of 1:6. Alot people that collect 1:6 now got started in the 90s collecting 1:6 gijoes.

EF was collecting HT in 1991. I remember Spawn being the bees knees back in 94.

Hi sugarbuns.

ugh.... no thanks. Those things should be burned into dust at an extremely high temperature.
Not really, no. I remember seeing the HOF figures and literally laughing. The 1/4 scale weapons and dog tags looked absolutely silly on the horrid figures with sucky articulation. Even the BDUs were sewn cheap.
Ok, just to make my point clear, cause I think its getting confused. What I would like to see from the sideshow grunt is the 82 BDU's olive drab with brown webgear or alice system with a crew cut not a comb over, an m16 and the regular loadout of grenades, pouches, smoke grenades, combat knive, backpack and so on. Just a basic grunt, I'm not saying that it should look like the hof grunt, just the crew cut that the hof one had.

Uggg that first wave of Spawn figures was terrible.
I do remember the HOF figures being everywhere clogging up the pegs.
I feel sorry for all those people that bought cases of the 1994 30th Anniv HOF figures. Worthless junk now.

I disagree. With the exception of the Star Wars 12" released by Hasbro to coincide with the Special Edition theatrical releases, Hasbro really didn't contribute to the 1:6 market in the 90's. Especially with the HOF figures which were, as EF said, pegwarmers (and we live in two completely different demographics). As much as they're "meh" now, I think companies like Dragon and 21st Century rekindled the interest in 1:6 figures.
BTW, Dragon announced Avengers product. Wonder what it's gonna be.
HOF started the rebirth of 1:6 in the early 90's, the starwars, dragon, and 21st century would not have even existed if it was'nt for the hall of fame. There was no 12" action figures since the adventure team ended in the 70s. They might not have been great figures but they did serve an important milestone.
