Since this unique modern Joe made a secret hit and run attack on storeshelves
last August, very few ever got a look at him. I got lucky and thought a photo
might be in order.

My small Target had the one shown here which wasn't even in their computer
system so they gave me a bargain price. After checking one visible wrist for
the telltale divit at the end of the forearm, I had a hunch he had an SA body,
and since discovered his pricepoint to be $20--not bad for SA articulation.
Hopefully he'll make general rounds in various retailers soon.

He has a new headsculpt that's all Brit and very blonde. Weapons include the
GPMG (General Purpose Machine Gun) and the M72 LAW (Light Anti-Tank Weapon), a
one-time use rocket launcher, with bandolier. He's wearing a new camo (maybe
someone else knows its name) and a compatible neck wrap, plus two-tone hightop
boots, goggles, night vision gear, smokebombs, a helmet, and beret with flash.

The molded vest is quite detailed, but I wish it were cloth--I'll give it a
coat of dulling spray and hope to find a suitable cloth replacement. Wouldn't
it be something if these were pulled from distribution so that could be
changed?

I have a hunch he'll make another sneak attack at sometime in the near future
so more of us have a chance to snag one. Have any of you seen him in your area?

Haven't seen this guy since the convention. SA will make it worth it.
Maybe dress him up with some Armory gear. Desert DPM is the camo name.

Desert DPM camo... thanks, Andy. What does the DPM stand for? (dumb question I
know, but...? )(

I'd be interested to know if ANYONE has seen any to buy? Surely they appeared
somewhere but at my little Target?

Q. for Rudy or Derryl: Any reason why these were held back or whatever?

Can someone provide me with a link to the website that shows all the
headsculpts and gives them a name? I thought it was a Hasbro site, but can't
find it or the link I thought I'd saved.

Thanks,
Valerie
