My initial thought was great custom fodder, but who all is actually considering the possibility of becoming a The Corps collector. I mean actually adding new Corps to your existing collection as is. Of course I am going to buy some to modify but in my opinion these are good to go as they are. (they could use more paint apps but that aside).


Also Just heard they showed new Star Force with new Space Cowboy and horses at the toy fare.

Saw this deluxe pack on Amazon that appears to have 2 of the female figures in it.

There are a few of the characters - El Jefe, Smoke, Puma, and Titan - that I like the backstory (somewhat) they did for them, and will keep those as-is.

If I ever find them in person I would definitely be starting fresh with the Corps I. E. Not incorporating them into any Joe mythos . I haven't collected joe for a long time (other than the comic book) . Corps would be a new 1/18th beginning.

Grabbed the smaller George. Great sculpt- better than Schleich, even. Just wish he was a tad smaller.

Also lol Rock.ImageImageImage

The Mega George has more articulation than Kong as far as I am aware.

I do not have one yet, but from looking at it in the store it appears to have ball hinge shoulders and elbows, swivel hips, swivel wrists and feet and a double jointed neck allowing the head to both swivel and look up (look straight ahead then he is walking on feet and knuckles).

The small George (Canister Contact assortment) does indeed have a fantastic sculpt. Too bad I have no need for apes in my Universe as that set also comes with the only intact Canister in the line. The ones with Ralph and Lizzie are twisted/bent and torn open respectively.

George has great articulation. He has a cut at the hips so he can do the gorilla on all fours stance. He also has a swivel and hinge at the elbows that Kong doesn't have

Yeah, I'm seriously considering grabbing one to paint him up like Kong. Plus - he's only $20.

with a Kong head swap that just might work. May have to consider that myself

I'm not sure this is the case at all Walmarts, but the Walmart near me has put Corps 2-packs on clearance for $1.00.

So, for those of you looking for some cheap cannon fodder (or custom fodder)... :)

I have found a lonely single two pack at my local, Snakebite and whoever she came with. However, I noticed they removed her cleavage and tried to make it look like she has a tee shirt on.

Am I the only one thinking of the possibilities of turning Kong into Grape Ape?
