Self Modifier - I'll leave it up to you. I was hoping that your favorite Joe figures would most likely be your fave characters as well. I know, there IS a difference. Think of the topic more as "List your Top5 Joes". You'd have to figure out which are your all-time faves, be it figure or character. Go ahead and shoot with what you want. The idea is if you can create your own subteam of your fave Joes (5-6) and shoot them in various scenarios.
TG - It really needed to be said, but sometimes it needs to be stated before something weird happens. "Keep it clean" means keep Joe (or Cobra) porn out of it. In Japanese, the word is HENTAI.
BTW...
My own team would look like this...
Lt Graydon is a custom. He's in front.
Snake Eyes Stalker
Beach Head Bombstrike
Footloose GungHo
Not necessarily my faves, but the Joes I use for my RRTS (Rapid Response Tactical Squad). I have 2 squads, Roadblock shows up in the other as does Recondo, Barrage, etc. Anyway, these are the best Joes for missions based on speciality, looks, and utter kick bootiness.
