I have space precinct figures with a chap mei police squad car as the local gendarmes.. I also have Luke N Bo duke and the general lee and boss hogg as well. I mainly collect most moveable poseable 3 3/4 size action figures so they are the most used that fit within the joe verse.

Stormer Wasss once a man Offline --> Posts: 1,430 --> Join Date: Nov 2006	My original "Stormer" figure was Face from the A-Team line. I only used him because he had the least-distinctive head sculpt (couldn't help but see the others as nothing but the show characters) and the cool black outfit. I didn't identify myself as the character then, but when Steel Brigade came around my Face figure had broken & been thrown out so I co-opted the name. I have a few non-Joe 3.75" figures I'd use alongside them but nobody I'd make into a main character. I think any backstory & codename work nowadays would go towards a custom. __________________ * * * * * Come check out my Flickr account for more pics of my collection and additional shots from my JoeDios photoshoots.

Sonneilon aka 'Paul WS Anderson' ;) Offline --> Posts: 7,751 --> Join Date: Jul 2005	I used CloneTroopers as "armored troopers" in the Transformations dio. They were NOT from the SW, but rather, just duders as part of an alien force. I used a couple of Microman figures to act as villains in Transformations. Now, the key sometimes, is NOT to use strict 3.75" figures for the dios. There are a lot of toylines that aren't 3.75". Like, I was using Spiderman's Ultimate Lizards (or whatever they were called) because I wanted monsters and they are BIGGER than the Joes. Same w/ Alien Racers's red monster dudes. IF they were actually 3.75", they wouldn't be nearly as menacing, scary or destructive. I'm using McFarlane's Cyberunits for the current dio and they are working well enough. These are NOT 3.75" and if they were, they wouldn't work at all. Gotta look outside the 3.75" realm for my dios!

Dzirhan Veteran Offline --> Posts: 368 --> Join Date: Dec 2006	Well, if you talk about joe repaints in the Action Force line, I use Red Laser as a Cobra affliated mercenary. I'm toying with the idea of using the first series Soldier Force figure that looks like Iron Klaw from G.I Joe Extreme as Iron Klaw and his Skar troopers (the black uniform version as iron klaw and the green version as the troopers). I've put together an unamed mercenary/covert ops guys using various parts of the Hot Toys colonial marines figures. Otherwise I do customs utilizing the headsculpts from other lines and put them on joe bodies since the original line figures lack articulation or the military look, primarily from Chap Mei and Lanard's WOW girls but also did 2 using the voltron Princess Allura head. Of course if you talk about vehicles, it sounds heretical but I tend to largely favor Chap Mei and BBI vehicles over joes most times.

I have one BBI soldier and 2 Clone troopers. I'm thinking of using the Clones as upgraded security forces for CC. Just really hard guys with sweet armor.

Defending and killing off assassins is a tough job, and Storm Shadow keeps switching back and forth, so he had to go with some "contractor help."
