Decided to cancel my preorder at BBTS and just pick up the new comic packs from WalMart. Ace/WW and the twins are now mine. I shall be getting SE/SS soon...but I knew I'd come across them again in the future, so I passed today.

Congrats SilentDusty! Good pick-up.

Here's a link to my old thread on how to make slight modifications if you want them to be able to move around:

If they are going to be standing in parade formation, no need to modify!

Glad to hear your army is coming along!

Thanks for the link yorktownjoe, I think I may end up doing that. So the 25th Joes finally started showing up here. I picked up Shipwreck, and a Crimson Guard, Flash and Snow Job were also there, I may have to go back and pick them up on pay day.

I highly recommend Snow-Job, even if you are only half-sold on snow troopers. I hardly ever used my original Snow-Job, as something always felt wrong with the black visor molded on.

The 25th has the best of both worlds...and you can slap another head on there to create a snow team... Of course I bought the only one I ever saw, so it's not likely I'll make an arctic team.

Thankfully I can show him in action against Snow Serpents (both old-school and DTC).

Try my Viper surgery method on one and try him out a little. If you don't like it, leave the rest the way they are. (I waited to do the surgery on the gold-head viper until after I had practiced and felt confident...) I know my boys would have broken them if I had let them play with them right out of the package.
(Thanks to Justin Bell General Joes' and JBL for originating the idea and giving the warning about the fragile waist piece. All I did was follow the instructions and then added pictures and wrote my own instructions.)

At least they won't looked hunched over if you sand down the back peg...

Madman Craig send me a Convention Flash!!!

I'm not half sold on the snow Joe's they are amongst my faves, I actually am probably going to pick up an Ice Sabre to go with my Snow Cat and Polar Battle Bear. I am slowly aquiring the snow troops, I still need Avalance, and Windchill, and probably a couple more. I have Snow Job v1 and just picked up the 25th version, Frostbite, Iceberg, Whiteout, and Big Ben. I have two Cobra Snow Serpents so far, and am picking up another soon. I also picked up 25th Sgt Flash, though I'm not overly impressed with him.
