Rogue Trooper's collection

I totally agree about the vam joints. Which is why Snowy will be getting long sleeves
When I was a kid my favourite figure...the hero of all of my escapades was a blonde bearded adventurer.  And I've got jet black hair...well I did have when I was a kid  so as a kid it was definitely a seperate entity.  Now...its me having these adventures..definitely  me

Don't worry too much! Years later, and costing FAR more, Phicen hasn't managed to come up with much better ankles and wrists, even now!
They are truly shocking after all their carry-on about realism!
In fact I have MAMs with FAR better and more realistic ankles than some of those expensive Phicens, ...male or female!
Surely they could do a bit better?

Interesting thought! But perhaps you wanted to be a blond?
After all, we were always told that "blonds have more fun"....remember?      

So are we all living vicariously through out figures?
I think there's a lot of that in our kitbashing and creation of fantasy scenes.
For example, how many of us who create war-time scenarios actually went to war?
Perhaps it's a safe way to live out the idea?

Definitely as someone I wanted to be when I grew up.

I guess I haven't grown up yet.

As cool as the Rogue father and son team are, whenever Rogue-Trooper posts pics of his entire team, my eye goes to the flocked fellow front and center in the pullover and jeans, packing the rifle. THAT guy is the iconic Adventure Team era GI Joe in my mind.

Yes, that one certainly has that outdoor adventurer look all right! Perfect outfit for him too!

Ah yes that would be Rufus. He is a carbon copy of the childhood adventurer that I mentioned. The only difference is he has no shoulder holster. The one that was destined for him went to Snowy because it just looked right on him. So I will have to find another somewhere

Here's  a handy guide of the one I have named so far....because I forget all the blooming time
I will update it as I name more.

A handy guide!

Is the guy in the back row, left side, rolling his eyes?

If you mean the fella between Finn and Ted..his eyes arent quite in line. I could try to realign them, but I have a kind of affection for him as one of my eyes is the same after getting kicked in the head as a 15 year old

Thanks to Dal kicking me up the butt...I've finally got my ladies out for the first time in probably 2 years.  
Lots of unis n stuff needed, but these 3 will almost certainly be my lot as far as females are concerned.

Tough dames, ....that's for sure!
Trouble with having females is that you then have to start buying fancy outfits for them.
You just can't dress them out of the Q-Store.

Looking good Chris

It’s really good to see your females out RT .

And Snowy now has long sleeves

I am sure he will be a fantastic asset to RT HQ!

Snowy looks fab with the longer sleeves! Overall excellent fit!

Handy guide and great names...

"WILL YOU STILL NEED ME..WILL YOU STILL FEED ME..WHEN IM 64"  

I'm making an eyepatch for one of my fellas. So I ordered some rubber cord off of Ebay.  The smallest quantity I could order was 100m.
So i used some to replace the ridiculous red leg straps on my officers.

Great work Chris!

Cool RT!

God, I hope I don't look that bad when I'm 64...no wait...I already am 64...

Outstanding aging of this fig! Finally, a figure who looks "mature" but not like a caricature of an old person! Well done!

NO MR EBAY SELLER THESE PINT GLASSES ARE NOT 1/6 SCALE DESPITE WHAT IT SAYS IN YOUR LISTING....SO YES...I WOULD LIKE MY MONEY BACK
