They look awesome! Love Grunt and Rock n Roll.

Thanks!

Stalker is cool, but something a little plain...maybe I'm used to camo.

Isn't the UK Jammer (no camo) really expensive and rare!  ;)

Martin  ;D

Can we see a new shot - the pic has your old Repeater and I'm sure you have other updates.
Interesting that you made your own Tan Grunt but used Tan Clutch as is.
If you want to expand:
How about a Spearhead and Max?
Perhaps one of the females?
How about someone on Communications?

Like it!

the only thing i don't like is the chunky bandoleers on Rock'n'Roll to cover up the red cross. you should've used the Doc chest and arms together with Stalker's head and 'cast' him as a new medic guy.

Oh... that's just an old picture. In that picture I have the good old Tan Clutch and Tan Grunt. My last four additions are not there like my Tan Ram (Ross exclusive) and Light Tan Vamp Mark II (Cdn exclusive)...  ;D

They look like a great sub group... I'm just missing the Mauler... but space is now rare...  :(

You are totally right! thanks!

How about someone on Communications?

I'm already working on it... Full Tan Grunt body + Breaker head to make a Tan Breaker...!  ;D

Like it!

Many thanks!!

Yeah, but my goal was to get a Stalker as close to the original... but in Tan colour... like Hasbro did for Tan Clutch and Tan Grunt. But, to respect as much Stalker, I should give him a little brown camo... I now have a fully posable, chip proof fig!

As for R&R, those ammo belts are my pride! This fig will stay in my collection no matter what. I didn't want to hide the cross, as I will, somehow one day, remove it any way... like on Stalker arms.

I also think that something is off with Grunt... but can't put my finger on it!

I think the main problem with Grunt... is his ugly face  ::)

Woah...easy on the personal attacks!!!  >:(

I contribute nothing but positive feedback and you spit venom...

From the original UK I have: Steeler, Jammer, Red Laser and two different SNAKE escape armour. I love all those! About Gaucho, I prefered the Convention exclusive instead of the original.


Where did the NF Ace come from?

Not really a NF... more in my head!

... I got him from Hal, few years ago (free ad for Hal!).
