    Those clear pieces are money.

    I think he also has some blue tint ones. I saw them last night. I check a few etsy store pretty frequently for new stuff.

    Yeah, I’ve thought about that too. My main point for bringing it up in general is that I’d love to see something offered on Pulse as a reduced cost army builder. I mean, they absolutely don’t have to as they’d be leaving money on the table. We are all happily falling over ourselves for the opportunity to buy these figures at the regular price. I think they could limit it to just the figure, a helmet and some version of the Sunbow standard rifle and that would hit the sweet spot. Maybe offer a few different skin tone versions like Super7, but that would work for me.

    Those are great but you can guarantee Hasbro will end up releasing a clear chest version.

    Nice! I’ve been hoping someone would make these. They’re a little rough, would like something a bit clearer (with maybe more darkly-tinted plastic) but I’m definitely gonna keep an eye on this.

    Had an idea.

    This is Crossfire, he’s a Joe from a 2001 set.

    Crossfire is lame.
    But his body had a look that inspired me.

    But where to get ahead in this project (Ba Dum Tish), the original one was a swivel head and not compatible with the body.
    The ninties version wasn’t the look I wanted either.
    Then I remembered Topside.

    Blonde beard and mustache and a compatible head fit.


    Behold, Rock n’ Roll!

    Quick easy custom that works pretty well I think.

    Can we get him to print them with the lines going vertical? Then we even get a quasi-lenticular effect. It's one of the few times that 3D print-lines can actually be a good thing.

    Got the 5poa S7 Cobra Commander and Snake Eyes. First S7 figures I got and I probably won’t ever get any more but the chrome on the CC figure and card are a nice touch.

    Did you find them in the store or were they something that you preordered? I haven’t found to many stores in my area that carry the Super7 Reaction figures. So far, I haven’t see any of the G.I. Joe ones.

    Just ordered a couple sets of chest pieces. Mostly clear/no color, but one in orange for the Python Patrol B.A.T.

    Also doing some customization on the B.A.T. I ordered separately.

    I probably wouldn’t be able to resist those if I saw them in the store. I don’t even really collect ReAction figures, but those look pretty cool. Really like the chrome visor on Cobra Commander!

    I preordered them from Target. I’m slightly amazed they delivered.
