Testing heads:


Alot of head sculpts work on this figure. I think this figure is waay cool KT. You need to get past the denial stage.

I thought I was going to stop at 5, but these are almost a must.

Nah, I'll let all you closet cases have them, especially at 9-10 a pop.

My STs will have to wait a bit longer for a worthy OpFor.

Too late to army build those. Hell, never had a chance at even one Hawk.

Variant DG Shiwreck, though. That guy is gonna be awesome.

Fighting, forever alone.

I managed to find a total of five today. I limited myself to two today. If I go back tomorrow and the rest are still there, I'll pick them up. They're pretty cool.

Really Midget?! that's what you call self control.

Sitting in your car sniffing the packaging. Should I go back in or just wait till tomorrow.

What's going to happen when they aren't there tomorrow??

I'm not worried about it. One less thing to clutter up my appartment.

Cool!
Say, does the blue or tan scarf come off?
If it did, it could be replaced with the one POC Night Fox or ROC Desert Viper came with.

I believe they modified the Shock Trooper torso for that scarf. Taking it off and replacing may not work out well.

I should be getting a trooper or two these next days. Has anybody tried to soften the glue in hot water like preparing for a boil'n pop?
If not, I'll give it a try when my troopers come in.

I like the one blue hanky for the squad leader even if it says "shoot me first".



Nice! Just simple headswaps - but still cool. I have yet to open any of mine...but looking forward to it.

I would think you would be able to place them in boiling water and with enough effort get the scarf off, but you may not like what you find underneath...

The mailgirl brought me an armful of figures today: 3 Indiana Jones figures, 2 Joe Troopers and the Dojo Set 3-pack.

Upon closer inspection, the scarf on the Trooper seems to be glued down in the front and in the back only, the sides being loose.
A little cut with a scalpel should take the scarf completely off and if I don't like what I see, I'm positive that two drops of 3M PR100 will put it back in place.
I'll keep you updated.

I just pulled mine off, or rather out. It took a couple of minutes, but it finally gave. Boiling might help though.

A gaping hole. It's stupid that they made the neck and "scarf" one piece that pops into a frickin' hole in the top of the torso.

Yeah, I can't figure out why they went that route. It's stupid. They should have made the scarf a separate piece, much like what they did with Resolute BH/Stalker and the Steel Brigade troopers. I can't figure out how it was more cost effective to do it the way that they did...
