I'm thinking civilians too... no doubt Tria will agree. What they like for head swaps with Joes?
Different type of heads, would need to make a neck mod. The DD figure's heads have the neck on them, not the torso.
I use them as civilians. Used the one in my recent End Of Days episode I did for Keenan's story. I actually really like these guys. Cheap plastic, bland looking, but for some reason I think they kick ass.
I'll keep my eyes out for ya. I want to grab a few more to paint up for other civilian customs. I got a few heads that may work for these torsos.
There's a gift set coming to Walmart on BF. Has all the figures, a truck and trailer with a small boat. I think most of the accessories are included too.
Wow, I didn't realize that even these figures had those "advanced" molded in arm joints. The pretty much confirms that these types of joint construction is not patented by Hasbro.
Or that the patent expired.
Is there any way to view toy patents? I'd like to know if Hasbro has any of the GI Joe construction patented. It seems like that type of thing should be required to be attainable. I want to produce a modern style action figure using modern Joe articulation, but I don't want to get into trouble.
The new DC figures and the Ourwar figure also have the rivet-less arms.
Looks good for civilians.
Care to post some pics beside Joes and WW2 OurWar figs for comparison?
