Like Colored Shockwave has his Army of Shockwaves.....does anyone else do that? I have always wanted to army build airborne troops like Ripcord and CrazyLegs, or even Army Build Hit-N-Run, but I've always been too busy army building Vipers and the like!

This is a variation as instead of armybuilding, it would be uniform building with each guy with his own distinct personality/headsculpt. And there are a few heads/bodies that work for this type of troop/small squad building. Put a v1 DialTone head on a v1 Falcon body and you have a Special forces officer reminiscent of modern day looking Bernie Montgomery (IMO). I have 4 or 5 Footloose v1 guys and they look good all in a line or moving in a team fashion toward a helo. If you see them all from the front, it looks like "the Clone wars have begun."

I am ordering a comic pack firefly off ebay, so no one worry about my griping for army builders!!!

Where did you read that they would be 4.25" tall? The latest report I read on TNI states they will be 3 3/4":
