I'll take figures that would be great as a 25th/PoC style release for 500 Alex. The Heavy urban Jacket with the RoC Duke/Desert Ripcord arms really sells the figure for me. |

I've got one or two out in my garage somewhere (along with about 20 years worth of other Joes I need to sort through...).Smashing work though. Using the vintage upper legs was rather clever. |

This looks very cool... how about getting a caster to cast the parts you need? As I know these guys aren't very cheap. I don't have any of them.. |

That is messed up that they would not ship to Canada. It's not like you are on the other side of the planet, You're just a stones through north. Canada is America's attic were we store all the good stuff so that nothing happens to it. |

I know I have a headhunter stormtrooper, but I'm not sure about the troopers, but I can check. |

That works REALLY well. In fact, it legitimizes the idea of the Headhunters for me somewhow...as if the absence of the wonky proportions on the original were the biggest obstacle to my acceptance of the idea back in the day. Any plans for Headman or Gristle? |

Any plans for Headman or Gristle?[/quote funny I was looking at my vintage Gristle literally 20 mins ago, trying to figure parts. So yes and hopefully 2 more troopers as well as BATS (just don't know what I'm going to do with them, don't want to repaint them in con colors cause I don't think they'd fit in)
