No, that's Column 4, 7 down.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Zombie.

oh yeah...huh, guess that is Zandar...

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

what figure is the robber looking head on?...can't say i've seen that one before

It's the masked Law head. And it's fucking awesome.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

wait wait wait...how many heads does law come with?...cause a helmet isn't gonna work on either of them

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Here's the Law masked head:

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

so the head that is supposedly Law unmasked (with the beret) fits under the helmet?

I can't count. That's Dial-Tone. One above it is unmasked Law. Looks kinda like Duke, with a cow-lick. I'm an idiot.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Sounds like the one I was thinking was "Horrorshow" may be Sci-Fi's "under-helmet" head that we haven't seen yet. The helmet's removable, and it sorta makes sense.

Several of those would make great repaints as Oktober Guard though.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

you short bus riding tard...thanks for the confusion...

as for the other two unknowns, who knows...Horrorshow is a good guess for the one, but a weird choice being as Redstar is the only other OG done...and i guess it could be Airtight, though it wouldnt be a removable helmet figure as the helmet wouldnt fit over that head...well maybe, if that mess around the neck was gone...

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

really, either of those two could be interchangeable under the AT or S-F helmets

 

[Mandingo Rex]

Check the Airtight and Sci-Fi from JoeCon though.... AT has the exact same neck ruffle, and Sci-Fi has a very profound upper lip. I thought the "Horrorshow" head had a mustache, but I think it's just a bigger upper lip now that I look at it.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

i wanna see an update of this guy

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Check the Airtight from JoeCon though:

hmmm, maybe, though i always thought that that collar piece was like the one on Steel Brigade, Reso Beachead and Stalker

Nah, think Shock Trooper.

 

[pcsguy88]

My order of Hawks just processed from BBTS. Bad timing financially.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

Nah, think Shock Trooper.

that actually kinda sucks...really limits head movements/posing

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

Today I switched the armor on the cash Destro and IG and it really makes a difference. Just need to paint the arm pads and that is gold! I actually want the IG figure now that I've seen it. Highly recommended.

 

[K-Tiger]

I hope that balaclava-wearing L&O head fits the ST body. Think I'd like to use it on my ST DM.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

its definitly a good "baddie" head

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

So after seeing the two figures with the switched vests and armor I can say that the Destro body will probably work pretty good for a heavy Alley Viper. Once you switch parts it makes you wonder what Hasbro was thinking. I just went and got about 4 more just for the switch.

 

[Big Jim]

and the pics are?

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

I have not had a minute to take any pictures. Hopefully the internet will be back where I'm staying so I can get stuff done. I'll post them later if so.

 

[Mandingo Rex]

He's needing all his internet time for his hand. Boy just drove across the country, let him have his fap-time!

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

Guess you've never driven through the salt flats before. It's straight ahead for 60 miles. Gotta' stay awake somehow!

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

Pics of figures switched:

IG

The ammo belt is just sitting in the back pack. It could be made to sit in the slot on the back pack but I didn't want to spend the time on it.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

Destro:

I wish I had my AV's with me so I could see if the helmet would look decent on this for a heavy weapons AV.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

that looks great MB...considered painting the red pads?

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

Yea, when I get my stuff out of the car I will. I'm still not unpacked from my trip. I'm thinking a light gray on the IG and black on the Destro.

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

that'll definitly work...the all red Destro looks really cool

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

I think the AV helmet on that will look pretty cool. I guess the camo could work if they were in a brick area or maybe a shale environment.

 

[pcsguy88]

They really knocked Hawk out of the park. Looks like he walked out of Ghost Recon and is ready to go kick some North Korean ass. Keep it up Hasbro!

 

[Mandingo Rex]

So it's the same head as the 25th Hawk, huh? I was wondering what head they were reusing. Looks a lot less "babyface" without all that paint on it. I should've gotten a second Hawk at least. I may throw one in my POL now, if they're still in stock.

 

[MAJOR BLOOD]

That Hawk is excellent! Going to need a bunch of them for soldiers. I honestly like the POC figures because it has helped my lazy ass have decent figures en mass.

 

[fogger1138]

Yeah, it's a nice figure.

I'm actually happier with the Steel Brigade fig now that I've got one, too. Looks a lot better with the helmet off.

Exactly. So many of them make good Joe troop builders with little fuss.

and you have to order these guys right? Cause nobody is selling them retail that's for sure.
