So I found the new Marvel 1:18 figure: Crossbones in Target today when I went to get some Sky Strikers... Good figure, and I wanted to ask what y'all think...
So, the old ARAH "Skullbuster" figure (the leader of the Range Vipers") is a cool character (anybody remember that awesome DDP issue with Skillbuster and Shipwreck? Skullbuster is supposed to be some awesome Ex-SEAL), but his uniform pretty much sucks... seriously - purple, bronze, and light blue highlights? really?
So, since I've gotten a pretty big collection of 25th/ROC Range Vipers (not to mention my DTC Ranger Viper horde)... I feel like Skullbuster needs a bit of an update. And I was going to try and paint one of my 25th Ranger Vipers a little differently, but then I found Crossbones tonight...
I also was able to grab a few Crossbones figures from the new Captain America line - it's the same figure as the Comic pack, but in different colors (see pics). Anyway, I was thinking of using the comic pack Crossbones as my new ME Skullbuster, and the other CA Crossbones figures as sort of a unit of elite Range Vipers, hand picked by Skullbuster.
What do y'all think? I'm open to criticism, fellas. Really.
The pics didn't load correctly. The picture of Crossbones is the CA version, the Comic Pack verison is the same mold with OD green pants, a grey shirt, and a black assault vest. Sorry it won't show up, but I'm sure you get the idea.
