Now we've cleared that up - is the Escape Armour figure exactly the same as the HISS driver?

I really like the figure, so have hidden a bland one in my Escape Armours that dont have rubber skeletons, and also a Baron (the Baron makes good his escape, whilst the others act as decoys).

Yeah, he's the same guy Steve. The basis for my Red Dingo ;)

I have been sorting all my Joe bits out and have amassed a pile of REALLY crappy parts. Big Boa legs, Dr Mindbender head, Raptor torso etc. I plan to make a figure for holing my Escape armour together. His code name will be Captain Craptastic. He really is the epitome of sh*tty Joes ;) Poor mutant bastard.

Anyway, I was wondering if you could scan (with ruler) the rubber that holds the Escape armour together for me? I plan to make a replica, but need to get the size right.

Cheers

Mark, you really should have worked for Kenner back in the late '70's.

Your name-making skills would have fit right in.

Classics such as 'Walrus Man', 'Squid Head', 'Hammer Head', 'Yak Face' and 'Prune Face' were clearly the results of many minutes of Kenner brain-storming around the local bar table.....

:doc: :doc: :doc:

Lol, thanks for the compliment. Its all I could think of, you really have to see it to believe it tho. I mean sh*t, what were Hasbro thinking of with the likes of Mindbender and Raptor?

Actually what went thru my head was "Captain Craptastic, Mr bombastic....". Lol. Damned morning radio.

"Walrusman" was my first Star Wars figure btw. Oh. happy days... Ooops. Trying to find the robot chicken Walrusman scene on youtube. No luck.
