RogueTrooper's Collection Part 2

Great shot Chris

Lovely outside picture there Chris.

Nifty outfit too!
Specially those sneakers!

Thanks fellas

I like his clothes too, nice jacket!

Where do you find the shirts? I like the screen printing.

It's more likely to be a "thermoprint".
It's very rare to find anything silk-screen printed nowadays, and yet it remains the best and most durable method.
The process is considered too labour intensive, ...a different screen being required for each colour.
I still screen print occasionally (full size and 1/6) and really enjoy the process. It wears and irons FAR better than any of that modern computer printed rubbish.

Pardon the diversion.

Ah, I forgot the paper you print on an inkjet that you can iron
onto fabric. I didn't think of that at all. Thanks for the reminder.

Screen printing is still done here by companies making shirts for
events, fundraisers etc. There are two or three companies here
in town.

IF you don't mind it coming off in places the very first wash! One wear is all you get!

Yeah we have 'em here too. They call themselves "screenprinters", but if you inquire further, what you invariably do get is fully computer done.
I guess it does come from a "screen" of sorts so technically they can call themselves such.

This shirt, along with an AC/DC one were custom made for me. They weren't cheap, but definitely worth it in my opinion.
The jacket was bought recently for another figure,  but when I was opening it my mini me figure was on the workbench and I thought " hmmm I wonder of it would look better on him" and as I have a full size one very similar it seems to work.

Chris did you have any trouble getting the jacket over his hands? I have bought some very impressively made jackets but the sleeve openings are sewn very tightly.

Yeah I have had the problem before. So I took the hands off to put the jacket on.

Unfortunately the majority of my troops do NOT have removeable hands, .....and they are ENORMOUS!

Nothing to see here. Just two fellas out for a stroll in the sunshine

That’s the most casual, relaxed, realistic posing I’ve ever seen anyone coax out of a No Face figure. Have these guys been rebodied? Or is it their jogging and working out in the fresh air that keeps them fit and limber?

Hahaha....these two reprobates hardly leave their lair ......let alone do any exercise

They have both been rebodied Dave.

It’s really good to see the two villains out and about. I’m really liking these two pictures Chris.

They obviously forgot their sunscreen!
Some SERIOUS facial damage from UV rays there!
Their hands look OK though.....

I haven't been able to find the red version myself.
Is it No Face too?

The red one is actually a Joe ARAH Cobra Commander made for the first
Joe movie. I have him. The lower part is exactly the same as MAM's
No-Face, the upper part of his body is the same as a Classic Collection
Joe.









His jacket and weapon seem to the be same as No-Face.

I wish I had a No-Face.

They do appear from time to time on eBay Daryl, and if you're not buying from O.S. the shipping isn't too bad.
I got a fully complete specimen with his coat, facial bandages and disguise a while back.
(I'm sure my blokes jacket is grey, not black though.)
Of course there are more on offer with just the figure itself.

Ran a search, there were two listed.

One, after the price with shipping, is $57 USD. Has bandage and jacket.

The other, price and shipping, is $74 USD. figure and disguise. $52 of
that is shipping.

Too rich for me.

Yes, that is expensive!
Still, occasionally there are cheaper ones on offer.
I had wanted the talking, face moving Duke for a long time, but every one I saw was WAY too dear, (or damaged/not working) until one day one came up that was reasonable and I was lucky enough to get it.
Took a while though.
He's my best cowboy now!

Shipping from the UK ranges from $35 to $47, depending on the seller.
I have long wanted the Action Man Jungle Explorer vehicle, but none
can be found here in the US. There is one from Greece that is $30 and
$34 shipping. $64 in total. I don't need one that much.

But I think we should discontinue this discussion on this thread,
after all it's RogueTroopers collection thread.

Managed to actually get 5 minutes to myself   .  So I took a few quick pics of some of the lads.
