Head: RoC Pit Commando
Torso, arms, legs, mortar: 25th Short-Fuze
Helmet: 25th Hawk
Like many fans, the original 13 Joes were my introduction to GI Joe. Short Fuze, Flash and Grunt were my first and remain among my favorites Joe team members. When the 25th line started, I wanted to collect the original 13. Hasbro slowly released over the course of a couple of years. Unfortunately, most of them had flaws (wrong colors, articulation, etc). I undertook to improve on what big H release to make the OG13 a bit closer to the originals. Although I am happy with how these turned out, I will continue to improve them as new parts become available.
