Seriously - you have to take an extra photo of one of these next to the 1:6 counterpart -- this Marine looks too good to even believe it is 1:18 scale!

Thanks.

That would be cool. I'd have to find someone who has a vintage collection locally to collaborate with, but I'm certain that's feasible.

Superb!
Magnifique !

Fantastic Jungle Fighter and it's cool to have a shot of a figure without a hat.

These are awesome, and it is obvious that you are VERY passionate about this project. The attention to detail just shows in every shot.

I don't expect you to go changing anything based on this, being all hindsight 20/20 and all, but I think the Lamprey gun might have been a better starting point for the flamethrower.

That is a good idea. The flamethrower didn't come out the way I wanted, so it is on my list of fixes for this project. I'll look at the Lamprey gun. I think I have one in my fodder.

You have got to find a way to get these on display at Joecon this year. I think they'd be a HUGE hit with both the 12" and 3 3/4" collectors.

Man, I love how you pull off camo! Smooth and very "Hasbro".

All these are amazing. I hope the rep from Hasbro who secretly visits boards like these is paying attention and passing along ideas...

21st Century Toys also did a WWII era flamethrower that would work perfectly for your Joe.

I've been watching this project from the start, and I have to say that every single one of these have been fantastic.
The idea itself is great, and second only to the outstanding execution. Bravo.

Continued Amazement...

Thanks guys. The final Action Marines are up. We start our last 1960's ''Action'' theme tomorrow.

Oooh, I did not know about that. I'll check it out. It would definitely be an improvement over the one I have. Thanks.

LOVE this. Everything is friggin' perfect. Those shrunken heads are amazing - and don't appear to be pea-headed like the Club's feeble attempt.

It all looks factory-quality or better, and I'm jealous as %$#@.
