Z-Force Radio Operator

Post by nighthawk »

I had an extra AoCI Ripcord so I decided to make a modern Z-Force Radio Operator. He's actually kind of a cross between the Radio Operator and Infantry guy. Might even use him as Sparks, just so he has a name.

I actually really liked the vintage Action Force figure's but wish they weren't articulated like Star Wars.

Love how the headset can fit on the backpack too.

That's a nice take on the original! I can get how 5-point would seem like a downgrade to GI Joe fans but you need to bear in mind playability, these things are practically indestructible. You can throw them out the window and they'll be fine. I've seen plenty of crotchless and thumbless Joes, too.

Which is why the Shadows will eventually beat GI Joe.

What he said. Nice figure, that works really well.

Nice one
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

Thanks. Just realized that I should have put this in the Z-Force directory. d'uh.

Z-Force is my favourite Action Force subgroup. Prior to the G.I.Joe Club making them, I had made a Jammer and Gaucho as well.

I think your Jammer is awesome!
