    Just curious, how many people are buying this set for Gung Ho when it come out. It looks more like cartoon Gung Ho, but something about it still doesn't look great to me

    I think it's because the costume lacks detail unlike the rest of Classified.

    That could be it. I actually like the classified Gung Ho as is, but I do like the nostalgia of the blue vest. This is a good attempt, but it's not for me. The hat looks good though

    I've never been a fan of Heavy Duty, but I just hate that beard they gave the Target Roadblock. He looks like some southern incest cannibal to me with that beard. Well that or a huge hipster.

    Anyway, as much as I'd like a Target Cobra Trooper for the weapons, I just can't justify buying him online and stuff. If I see him in person, I'll do so.

    I got one of the weapons packs on pre-order with BBTS and it looks like it comes with the hat.

    Took me about an hour of spamming F5.

    And shipped! Sucks the Viper is a PO.

    I got this on preorder on BBTS, but now you are giving me second thoughts. The baby blue clashes with the dark pants, like he got dressed in the dark. Now I might just get the hat from the weapons pack and cancel this. That is if this stuff ever comes out.

    Oh man, don't let me deter you. To each their own. At least it's not too expensive, so if you don't like it, you're not blowing a ton of money

    In my opinion…that jacket just needs some deco (a wash…some highlights…etc.). As it is, it just looks like a wad of blue tack molded into the shape of a jacket, lol.

    No, no. You saved me some money. Already spent too much on upgrading Gung Ho as it is. I bought the proper chest tattoo for him from bad mother tattoos and grenade launchers from both Mark2designs on Etsy and elias discounts on eBay.

    The blue jacket and gear just doesn’t work with the green pants. Im not paying extra for only a half classic Gung Ho.

    so i'm thinking of making some significant changes to Firefly when i get him and I am looking for opinions. First thing first is to remove that stupid vest
    [​IMG]
    the unpainted areas leave a bit to be desired so i'm gonna go with one of 3 smaller vest ideas, which do y'all like better?
    Option1
    [​IMG]
    or Option2
    [​IMG]
    or Option3
    [​IMG]
    now of course i'll be painting everything so pay no attentions to the Punisher skull on Option3. Also i'm gonna undertake my hardest paint job ever and give Firefly this look

    red urban camo, lord help me :confused:
