As a result his mini was the one I wanted the most when I first saw the model and I'm delighted to have got hold of a spare cast. More Zygons are coming too, as I work towards doubling my initial meagre Faction.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-62486621082293243322017-08-04T14:03:01.672-07:002017-08-04T14:03:01.672-07:00Thanks Jez.

There seems to be huge following for the toys/universe too, so I'm really excited about this mini-project :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-3012996937193378752017-08-04T13:07:51.672-07:002017-08-04T13:07:51.672-07:00You're in Britain mate, the comics and cartoon...You're in Britain mate, the comics and cartoon I watched as a lad in the 80's was re-branded for the Brit audience as "Action Force". ;) It'll always be Action Force to me.<br /><br />Sergeant Slaughter's inclusion into the cartoons was a fun cross-over from the old WWF wrestling and strange to my young mind as in WWF Sgt Slaughter was always a Heel, not a Face!<br /><br />Everything in this post is very cool Simon.

TBH the only place I've seen the Zygon black hands & feet is on the official "Warlord Games" paintjobs, so I'm not sure where they've come from - I do like them though. Plenty of "G.I. Joe" posts to come, so hopefully you'll enjoy them and catch up on the franchise.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-90577653612627706562017-08-04T05:40:07.879-07:002017-08-04T05:40:07.879-07:00Thanks Bryan.

I've seen better and I've seen worse. No doubt I'll learn a lot more about this franchise from your blog postings. <br />I understand the need for reinforcements for your Zygons.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-27688822069370161972017-08-04T01:04:34.787-07:002017-08-04T01:04:34.787-07:00Nice start on the Joe's Simon, Snake Eyes was ...Nice start on the Joe's Simon, Snake Eyes was a cool character and Sgt Slaughter was modelled after the wrestler with the same name.
