No idea what connection it has with G.I.Joe, but I absolutely adore this Rogue Trooper custom

That's all well and good. But if you want your comments to be taken on board, you need to learn to use constructive criticism, rather than having an outburst.

Thank you for changing your avatar.

:?: Not sure I understand what you mean, Squad Leader.

Getting back to the Q Force set. Dolphin is an accurate reworking of AF Dolphin v2. Natalie Poole is an accurate 3 3/4" edition of the Action Man figure. The boats are black to fit with SAF / SAS and the Q Force logo is there as a nod towards both the aquatic element and Dolphin v1.

I may not agree with the decisions made (and yes I would have LOVED to be have been asked to consult), but I can understand the rationale behind the decisions and can see that attempts were made to appeal to as many aspects of the fanbase as possible.

there have been a few pics of the figures on display at the con with the box which yiou might have missed with all the posts. there were also some shots of their file cards but as far as im aware nothing on the interrogator file card yet. dont think its clear yet exactly who he is (either hes "just" the interrogator or someone else) and what hes up to?
