once the ROC stuff hit clearance in my area I actually stocked up on those SS's, mostly the plain whit ones but I think I have 2 in the version 2 camo and I have 2 from the ninja battle sets with the red jacket and grey pants. The only thing id the head seems a tad on the small side.
Yeah the cardboard does have a glossy finish to it so depending on the angle and lighting you will get some glare. I wish their were still photography studios around here so I could develop my own film and prints like I used to in HS then I could almost elimante any glare with a little manipulation.

Film? What is this "film" you speak of? ;)

I know everything is digital now, not that it doesnt make for great pictures and you can immediately see how your shot came out. But it just doesnt have the same soul to it

I know. I'm just raggin'. I like it so that I can rifle off a million shots and if I don't like them I can shoot some more.

Dont get me wrong digital is an awesome medium and I use my digital for almost everything. But if I go to a car show or or am doing scenery I take both. If I'm shooting film its always B/W. The digital gives me a great color pic and also a reference for when I develop my B/W print for shadows and everything. The only problem is I dont have the space or money for my own darkroom and the places near me closed up so its almost impossible for me to shoot, develop and print my own film.

Looks like they're getting ready to announce series #6, according to Facebook. Some bits:

Yes, once we get the issues with Series #6 settled & released. Hope to get out our "rubber" series that will have belts,holsters, headgear, backpack, sheaths & other "non-weapon" gear. MJ

Yes, the Bren "almost" made the final cut for Series #6. It was a TOUGH decision (it is such a cool looking weapon and a personal favorite). In order to FINALLY get the series back on track, we had to trim the selection from almost 30 items down to around 12 items (not counting "new" scopes, grips, silencers, clips, etc). Hope to post the final list shortly.

The FAL is one of the final candidates..but we have to "trim" the series down from almost 30 items to around 12, due to prototype & other issues, to try and FINALLY get the series released. So if the FAL misses the final cut, it is still a candidate for a the next series.

In Series #6 there is a "modular" European style grenade launcher attachment.

No way the FAL should be cut, and there's a total of what, 1 Bbi British para out there?

So unless they've got a "Bren Girl" figure in the works the Bren can get to the back of the line.

Have him cool his heels in a Koncentrationsläger for a while and he'll have a sufficient attitude adjusting and accept any weapon he's handed.

I'm not sure that's going to calm him down. Plus I'm tired of looking at him carry that dinky Sten-look-alike that I got off the RoC Lamprey Officer.

Ha!


Anyway, this really isn't new news. We knew they were having some kind of issue and it reads like it's not really resolved as of yet.

I'll be happy when he announces the line up, as that means it's actually gonna happen. Though the grenade launcher is easy to figure out, probably an AC36 or M320, both by H&K.

Where's the info on this wave? I've looked at the facebook page, but don't see anything there, nor on the website.

Yes...I caught that. I'm talking about THIS.

Eh, unless it has a folding buttplate as well i'm not interested. I'll wait till the wave comes out, because AKMs and TDI Vectors are really something i want in multiples, but over all not a whole lot to fire me up.

I would love to see MJ make an SKS. I just think it would look cool for some troopers to have instead of that SVD all the damn time.

I think Cobra Troopers get SVDs because Hasbro continues perpetuate a 29 year old fuck up for the sake of nostalgia.

That said, I'd go for an SKS. More interesting choice than some of the items in wave 6. You'll notice, however, that Marauder doesn't do non-pistol grip firearms, hence no non-exotic sniper rifles or shotguns.

95% of Joe figures won't hold them correctly, so i imagine they'd be slow sellers.


The new wrist articulation, while not being as good as designing the hand to have a rifle grip, at least makes it possible for them to hold them. I don't imagine we'll see those things until the new wrists become universal.

He could profit from that and make the correct hands or team up with SDS. This is just wishful thinking though...

I recently got a btach of weapons from MJ, very happy with them. i got 12 Pulse rifles, mini Gatling, Dreadnok style sawblade rifle, dreadnok style melee knife rifle, night ops sniper rifle, Couple of AK's - both folding and wooden stocks. Really happy with them all, I love the Nok weapons. Stormrider finally has a kick butt weapon.

Found the Nok weapons on the Ebay store, not at main store.
