Now I may still go ahead with this story, not sure yet. I've got three or four WIP stories that I'm currently working on.
Now another reason I posted this was the recent announcement of the return of Botcon. Now I know it's not a Hasbro official con, but it got me thinking. I had been rereading some Joe comics and going over what branches of service the various Joes were part of. I was only counting Joes who had figures (ARAH, Sigma 6, Sgt Savage, Renegades, Resolute, etc) and in doing so I went over the FSS sets that YoJoe have on file. Adding these all together got me thinking of come of the Joes we never got in 3 3/4 toy form: DDP's Firewall, IDW's Hashtag, Extreme’s Inferno, Renegades’ Dreadnok Machete, Baroness’s Athena Army, etc. Well I decided to come up with my own FSS set.
