The shared Wal-Mart / Pulse exclusives thing goes for the retro cards as well. At retail they're WM exclusive but Pulse still sells them.

Regarding Range Vipers; they are the sick fuck brigade of the Viper corps.

Basically, they are sent into areas with the guns they have in their hands/backpacks and ZERO supplies (not even food) and are told to basically find/pillage whatever they need while carrying out gorilla terrorist attacks on a region.

And yes, in certain areas/missions they DO commit cannibalism.

(IDW did a really good issue in the second Cobra mini that covered Range Viper training that's pretty disturbing)

Pink/purple Range Viper meanwhile is a sad sack female mountain climber who was in love with GI Joe guy Ambush, who ended up no-showing a date with her that led her to join Cobra to arch him.

IIRC there were only two episodes with Range Vipers in the DIC era; one was the above mentioned girl Range Viper, but the other was a white guy who was a football rival with Captain Gridiron.

If we get a female Range Viper, they might as well make her the DIC female Range Viper; maybe even put out a retool of the male Range Viper to be Gridiron's rival and give them unmasked alternate heads.

Would make them sell way better, plus give an excuse for us to get Ambush/Captain Gridiron made.

I thought I'd be done with Shooter by now but I'm still waiting for the parts for her to arrive. In the meantime I ordered some parts to do a custom 1/18 Sgt. Slaughter and they arrived fast enough for me to get right to work. It's actually pretty straight forward-- cast Sgt. Slaughter head off of ebay, a movie Roadblock body, some Marauder hands, and all the skin gets painted to match. I dun goofed though and accidentally melted one of the hands with my heat gun while trying to accelerate the paint trying.

The head is basically done aside from needing to get sealed. I still have more work to do cleaning up the paint apps around the skin but that will be easy. Sealing might take a while and involve multiple steps just to make sure I hit everything and I think I'll use my airbrush for that to make sure it doesn't go on too thick.

Quoted By:

>>10330097
Cobra Troopers were the first henchmen/foot soldiers for Cobra. They are the rank and file troops and later on, there were Cobra Officers who have like minor variation in look and design, often being that Cobra Troopers have blue bandanna masks and wear gloves while the Cobra Officers wear a red bandanna and go around without gloves.

(there is also a vehicle driver who wears a gray colored outfit and black bandanna).

The Cobra Trooper/Officer molds were retired after a couple of years, so Hasbro came up with new henchmen troops. At first they all had unique names (Eels, Crimson Guardsmen, Snow Serpents) though it's canon that Snow Serpents=Eels, as far as Eels who distinguish themselves in combat can get promoted to Snow Serpent status.

The first "Viper" was ironically NOT the regular Viper, but Tele-Viper. Which started the trend that all future Cobra flunkies were X-Vipers.

Viper proper didn't show up until the 1986 wave. They were the new henchman troop for Cobra. Their mask and costume made them stand out compared to the Cobra Trooper/Officer figures and were popular enough that they became the default henchmen for Cobra in a lot of mediums.

In-canon, it's always been a bit vague connection-wise. In some canon, you start out as a Trooper and then if you distinguish yourself as a Trooper, you can either become a Cobra Officer (which is leadership position) or a Viper (which means you'll stay in the arena of combat). As such, Vipers are "the elite" of the Cobra grunts and the entry point to become an X-Viper.

Other lore says that Vipers and Cobra Troopers/Officers are two separate but equal pools of low level grunts and it's arbitrary if you get made a Viper or a Trooper. But that in general, Vipers see more combat duty while Troopers are more base security types and meat shields for the Cobra Officer class.

But in general, within fandom, some people compare them to the Army and Marines. Troopers are Army, but the Vipers are the Marines.

General guide for Cobra henchmen:

>>Troopers are low level grunts
>>Officers are middle management leadership types who command squads and report to CC, Destro, and Baroness
>>Eels are Navy Seals with emphasis on underwater missions
>>Snow Serpents are Eels who get extra training in artic/winter combat
>>Tele-Vipers do communication shit
>>Crimson Guardsmen are both honor guard for CC, but also infiltrators who work in straight society as lawyers, politicians, businessmen, etc
>>Vipers are either equal to or slightly higher quality low level troops
>>BATs are robots
>>Iron Grenadiers are mercenaries that work exclusively for Destro
>>Toxo-Vipers deal with toxic waste related missions
>>Astro-Vipers are Vipers who work in space
>>Hydro-Vipers are Eels who've been generically modified to make them able to breath underwater
>>Desert Scorpions are desert troops and are considered to be where Cobra puts troopers who they are punishing as far as being lower than the average Troopers

There are dozens of different Vipers. I'm not sure what the canon is, since I don't think the old cartoon every bothers with explaining it, and I've never really read any of the Joe comics, but Vipers seemed like more adept troopers, and then they get subdivided into more specialized Viper-types beyond that in specific areas/fields/regions.

I hope someone's gonna design a 1/12 Polar Bear. It would have been a great vehicle for Hasbro to make themselves since it's not much bigger than the RAM or COIL, although I think the only way they would have done it would have been to release it with Snowjob, and since he already comes with a ton of accessories that wasn't gonna happen. They can't even be assed to release Snowjob at retail.

I collect both. Sadly all my vehicles from my childhood are long gone, but it's fun to try and pick up things here and there when I can, and do conversions.

Speaking of, most of the parts for Shooter came today. I'm still waiting on the chest rig and fabric to make her poncho, but I think she's turning out really good. The leg surgery was a good choice too because she looks more normal height for a female Joe, as opposed to the typical Marauder female who is taller than most male GI Joe figures. I also like the look of the black boots with the camo pants.

There is a 1/12 line that is going to scale with Joes and Legends. They are coming with extra hands, effects, neutral heads, and attack face heads. If the line does well they plan on making alt uniforms, more effects, and damaged faces.

1/18th has gotten too expensive for its scale and is now (by Hasbro) considered a children's line. The money is in adults and charging them more for slightly bigger figures

If Retro Collection wasn't completely botched in terms of distribution and if they hadn't cocked up so many of the character designs / loadouts, there's no reason why 1/18 and 1/12 couldn't have co-existed. Hell, Target has a rack for the ReAction series right alongside the Classified Series. How the hell does Super7 have better distribution than Hasbro did for their own 1/18 figures?

Retro Collection was about as much of a mixed bag as it gets. Most of it was cobbled together from 25A and movie figures which does and doesn't work, depending on the figure. There are some really stupid mistakes and omissions, too. Baroness's pistols are repurposed from Rise of Cobra and have pegs for holstering them to her hips, but she has no peg holes on her hips, and they didn't give her any holsters at all. She comes with an attaché case to carry her pistols and SMG in (it has cutouts for the nanite warheads from Rise of Cobra, because it's the same mold), and a grapple hook that nobody cared about. Destro comes with a break apart sniper rifle that fits in a suitcase and has no pistol /secondary at all. They should have given Destro the SMG and smaller attaché case and put bombs or money in it, and given Baroness the sniper rifle. It's easy enough to swap but it doesn't solve the problem of Baroness having pistols and no way to holster them.

I've already whined about Snake Eyes in past threads having either the wrong mask or the wrong costume/loadout (depending on how you look at it). Roadblock is a similar hodge podge of different looks, and has no tripod for his M2. Duke and Scartlett were the two figures I put in the "these suck, don't buy them" category though. They're irredeemably bad, and straight downgrades to their past releases. The only reason to buy Duke is if you want a helmet that fits on Pursuit of Cobra Duke's head, he's a piece of shit. As for Scarlett, just look at her. Her body is a sloppy repaint of Shooter and she's a disaster.

Do the ReAction figures even sell? The pegs are almost always full, and more often than not, they're getting deep discounted from what I see. I don't think may people are paying $18 for 5 POA 1/18th figures...

Really feels like the ship is sailing for crappy, minimalist hipster figures.

I was not a fan of how this Lady Jaye figure's head looked so I did a full replacement to make her look more like the cartoon. The eBay seller listed this particular head cast as Halle Berry / Storm although it looked like a shoe-in for Lady Jaye so I sprang for it.

Barely anyone beats Amazon down here anymore, or reliably carries the line.
If you want local alternatives, there's Popultcha I guess, they're a bit slow in getting things in mind you and they aren't actually cheaper. Some people say they've found Classified figs in various Toymates, up to and including the BAT/Alley Viper wave but I've never seen anything other than a plague of Profit Director Destros in any I've checked in. Robotoyz.net are local and do offer preorders or some exclusives but they don't always tell you the prices up front and they trend towards more expensive than other places. The Little Toy Company have some older stock on hand if you need it but they will charge mark ups for the more in demand stuff, I haven't ordered from them in yonks so I can't tell you how they are service wise as of late.
You might want to give the Gamesmen a shot too, they sometimes have discounted preorders. Big Kids Collectibles sometimes carries Classified figures but they never have much stock of it, last I checked they had some of the retro collection figures in stock.
Personally I just pay the extra cost and get it from overseas a lot of the time, usually from somewhere that gets they're stock from Hasbro Asia. It's the only way to reliably get exclusives anyway.

It's a helmet designed to strike terror in the hearts of people, since Range Vipers are sort of the insurgent/sabotage troops Cobra sends into countries to fuck shit up and put the fear in people.

Underneath the helmet however, is a generic bavaclava mask.

Was there some kind of connection between Sergeant Savage and the canceled Captain America 90s cartoon?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd7VinvTfiw

The animation style in the test reel looks very similar to the Sergeant Savage DTV movie. Plus, "Sergeant Savage and the Screaming Eagles" is eerily similar sounding to "Sgt. Fury and the Howling Commandos." And there are plenty of other curious similarities between Sgt. Savage and the WW2 era Captain America mythos too.

I was going to say I don't know why Major Bludd is the hill people want to die on for arguing price spikes, since he was hanging at about $30 for ages, and even back then people were complaining about how bad he was on the aftermarket. Checking now, he's more in the $40-$50 range, so I don't know why people held out so long, only for him to keep jumping.

I can only speculate that people want him in the collection but don't actually care for him. So the idea of paying any mark up isn't something they want to do. I know a lot of people that feel that way about the twins, they want them for their Cobra crews and CG displays but they don't care about them as charterers.

I want Bludd, and think he's pretty important Cobra character, but I'mn not paying scalper prices even if they're only $5 more than retail.

That said, i barely have a Classified collection. I probably have 5 figures and have Mezco's SE and Destro preordered. I hope Mezco makes a Bludd too.
I'd prefer higher end figures if I'm going to buy them in 1:12.

And that'll do it for now. Aside from the leg surgery and cutting out the poncho, this was a very straightforward build and I like how she turned out. Stylistically she fits well with the official figures, and the leg surgery means she's pretty in-line with a standard female Joe's height.

Regrettably, yes. You have to remember, at the time the high watermark for comic book movies was the X-Men franchise and Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. X-men got rid of the characters' colorful and distinct looks in favor of all-black uniforms, and Dark Knight covered Batman with metal armor plates. Hasbro was chasing what was cool at the time which was all black and tacticool with plate armor.

I think a lot of people either forgot he said that or were unaware. Maybe in combination with the digital artbook of the game saying they had to do designs for some of the characters that Hasbro didn't provide them with, such as Firefly, which ended up being the design used for the Cobra Island figure. I still kinda wish we would have gotten figures of some of the other designs from the game.

Marauder has chest rigs too although they're full of accessory peg holes and it's hard to make them really look authentic to GI Joe. Having the real Hasbro parts on a Maraduer fig kind of helps disguise its origin more.

We're the movies before or after new xmen? Because in the comics they wore that black leather with yellow highlight during grant Morrisons run. Anyway, I just don't trust Hollywood blockbusters to do anything but dilute and erode what I enjoy about certain franchises.

After, X-Men was filmed in '99 and released July '00. Morrison (and Marvel in general) made heavy changes to the comics after the success of X-Men and Spider-man. GI Joe was '09.

I was planning on repainting a headsculpt from eBay for a customized Flint and rolling the dice on fitting a Marauder beret on it. Now I'm thinking if I can get it at a good price, I'll get a 50A Falcon and do a head swap. I'm still planning on getting a movie Flint to use for my customized Falcon, and with a little luck maybe I'll be able to switch their hats around. For me, the value propositon of buying a figure for a head swap rather than just the head, is you get more parts to do other customs with.

These were the heads I was looking at before, although given that he has a hat accessory, factory paint is a lot less likely to chip from being cycled than anything I can do at home, so that's something to consider.

The first GI Joe I ever got was Scoop. I thought he was cool because I didn't realize he was an embedded reporter and I thought he was using some kind of ray gun, not a camera. Then I saw him in the cartoon and he was an annoying prick, which in hindsight is pretty hilarious.

Of the first half/season one he is along with Grid Iron and Ambush. His biggest episode being the last episode of season one 'Stuck on You' where he cuffs Cobra Commander to the wrist and they are lost in the jungle having a Bob Hope and Bing Crosby like adventure in said Jungle. Season two he only shows up in two episodes as the second season everyone on the Joe side was getting screen time so no one really stood out.

This was the slowest custom I've done in a while because I had to repaint the skin on a movie Roadblock figure and then seal it with varnish to make it more chip-resistant. I think he came out good. I was even able to find a swagger stick for him on eBay.

I did some additional customizing on my 25A Snake Eyes. Swapped his head with the one that came with Retro Collection SE, switched out his forearms with Movie SE, and painted them to match. Lastly, I gave him marauder hands for better gripping and articulation. I might pick up an Uzi with a detachable suppressor with my next Marauder order.

And here's a custom head I put on movie Jinx. The head came from China and was pre-painted, although I ended up redoing the eyes and touching up a few things. (She's got a ponytail which doesn't really show up in either of these pics.) I don't think pre-painted is worth paying extra for if you can do it yourself, although this head sculpt was not available unpainted. It did save me a little time, at least.

Lastly, I restored this modern Heavy Metal that was in kind of rough shape but I got a good price on him. One of his hands was missing a thumb so I swapped them for Marauder hands, his golden pistol had a chunk torn off so I reshaped it with superglue and painted it, I re-created his helmet with Marauder parts, and I replaced his weapons. A really nice figure to add to the collection since I'm restoring that Mauler.

It was a little pricy but it was a perfect fit for Jinx I think. My trick for getting it to fit the peg was the same one I used for Lady Jaye-- put a little synthetic grease on the ball joint to act as mold release, put some hot glue inside the head, and then stick it on and let it cool completely. It's worked a treat the few times I've done it, and if you make a mistake you can just warm the glue up again.

I found a mirror paint pen that I bought a while ago and misplaced. I forget what project I even bought it for, but I decided to paint Slaughter's sunglasses with it. The effect is amazing, it looks like the vacuum plate chrome that used to be on toys all the time back in the day.

The downside is that apparently this stuff loses its mirror effect if you touch it too much, but since the hat basically protects the sunglasses from being accidentally touched, you would have to literally be trying to mess up these lenses. I'm not really any more worried about that than I am about any other paint chipping / scraping on this toy.

I get both sides of the Classified argument. Personally, I like both styles (whether or not they should have just stuck to a singular style is another matter). I just wish the line was treated better than it is right now. It's way better than anything else Hasbro is shitting out, including Transformers, and I think it it is in a league of it's own in terms of domestic toys.

I think that Classified Falcon's troubles began when they went for a 1:1 remake of the 87 figure. The head sculpt is the most glaring issue about him, but everything else kinda sucks too. There's the weird ass skirt webgear, the boots, the backpack antenna being another example of following the 80s too closely, the knife on his chest being non-removable, the knife that awkwardly fits into the backpack. All of that is from the o-ring. I think they attempted to replicate the camo too, but it looks off to me. It's clear that they wanted to go as ARAH as possible with Falcon, and the figure suffers for it.

Since I'm in the habit of polishing turds I'm going to take a shot at fixing him up and making him look more like the cartoon and box art. Full head swap, arm surgery with a wrist watch, and I'm going to paint some brown camo splotches onto his uniform. There was some visual dissonance between a lot of the ARAH line and their on-screen or box art counterparts, although in this case the changes won't be all that drastic.

For all the shit I give the Classified version for its attrocious head sculpt I think it is a much better modernization of Falcon than the 25A version in terms of the uniform. 25A missed a lot of opportunities to bring the figure closer in line to how 80s kids remembered Falcon looking while remaining somewhat true to the figure.

Although weirdly enough I think Classified Falcon still has a molded-on knife on his webbing which is pretty annoying. I thought one of the perks of the 1/12 scale was that there'd be no more molded-in weapons. I mean, even 50A Snake Eyes had a removable knife on that spot. Poor Falcon seems more or less doomed to always have something wrong with his figures.

I mean, what would you like to see be done better than distribution and availability in general? I was OK with the Sci fi stuff, but I really like the more familiar look, especially since who knows if gi joe gets this love again? My worries are in the future when hasbro really cash cows it like marvel legends is now experiencing. Transformers are hit and miss so atleast its easier to pass on.

Vehicles. I get that the "market research" (meaning overpriced and terribly made star wars vehicles) probably scared Hasbro out of doing anything but bikes at retail, but ffs. If you are so afraid that retailers won't carry your vehicles, make them Pulse exclusives like the deluxes and two packs. You know what, I bet online retailers like BBTS would LOVE it if Hasbro offered them Joe vehicles as exclusives.

I'm not asking for Rolling Thunder or the Defiant or the USS Flagg. Give me some fucking VAMPs, Polar Battle Bears, Sky Hawks, Snow Cats, Armadillos, Ferrets. Also, how about some accessory packs and other "world building" stuff? Not just guns and helmets, but a watch tower, howitzer, etc. Again, throw it up on Pulse. Maybe pack a figure in with this stuff and call it a "super deluxe".

Let me clarify by saying that I think the Joe team is doing an excellent job with what Hasbro is allowing them to do. But those dipshit suits and corporate raiders need to stop huffing their own farts and let Hasbro be a toy company. C'mon guys, a VAMP doesn't even need to do a whole lot! Just rolling wheels, space for two figures, a spot for gas cans, and a moving steering wheel. No LEDs or figure required. I'm sure you can take a temporary loss on a mold and recoup the costs later, right guys?

I am thinking about ordering him and Baroness online but I'm seeing a crap ton of reviews talking about how shitty Walmart shipping as most of these come crushed due to the flimsy plastic they put the figures in. Is it better to order from Amazon or some other site? If so where can I get the Walmart exclusives outside of Walmart?

There is no reason Zartan shouldn't have his little swamp scooter, but after the Fortnite boat sat around for ages I don't see Hasbro willingly doing stuff like Moccasins, or even Devil Fish, at retail. Throw in the wildly successful Haslab Hiss Tank, and it's even more reason for Hasbro to relegate larger Classified vehicles into expensive "prestigious" crowdfunded campaigns.

Mine came today too, joints are fine on it, the waist is super loose though. This just sounds like the standard range of QC you get with hasbro figures.

Should clarify, the tablet is good as either a fill light or edge light, depending on what mood you're going for. And like I said, the ability to fill the screen with a specific color is what makes it a bit more useful than something like an Ott Light. Of course, the limitation is that the tablet screen casts a lot less light.

Mezco is still full of shit as usual. This shot makes it look like he has pins but the rest of the shots are pinless. So which is it? I had assumed that given Destro they would stay very faithful to the ARAH toys or card art, but every release since they take just as many liberties as Hasbro does. I don't see what the point would be in collecting Mezco Joes unless you really just enjoy preordering shit.

Attention to detail is why I want Mezco's GI Joes. Best guns outside of an expertly painted Little Armory kit and actually in 1:12 scale. Uniform/costume that isn't just painted and sculpted on bumps. Usually a great range on an excellently engineered body. Said uniform/costume not getting in the way of poses, since cloth can compress and you can also rearrange bits and bobs that could get in the way of poses.

That said, yeah, it seems like actual ownership is nothing but a pipe dream.
Let's hope them continuing to announce figures from many different licenses means they still have cash to produce at least some of the shit they've announced in the past 3 years.

>Attention to detail is why I want Mezco's GI Joes. Best guns outside of an expertly painted Little Armory kit and actually in 1:12 scale. Uniform/costume that isn't just painted and sculpted on bumps. Usually a great range on an excellently engineered body. Said uniform/costume not getting in the way of poses, since cloth can compress and you can also rearrange bits and bobs that could get in the way of poses. Very important on gun toting tacticool operators.
You say all of this like the toys have actually released and Mezco has delivered on their promises, but I get where you are coming from. Personally, Classified is (mostly) everything I need out of G.I. Joe. I don't mind painted/sculpted uniforms personally; they seem to turn out better in hand than the Barbie approach to action figures. Plus, I don't have to worry about the uniform falling apart. I like taking my Joes and Cobras outside and the cloth uniforms wouldn't hold up for long in the area I live. Outside of ninjas, the alleged additional posability is unnecessary imo. As long as they can convincingly hold a gun, it's fine. Better guns can be custom-made or purchased. Besides, I think the weird Classified guns were/are due to the current political climate surrounding guns.

I also think variety of characters is important for a line like G.I. Joe. If we're talking Spider-Man, it's a different story, but you need at least a dozen Joes and Cobras to make the "world come alive". Mezco will never have the variety. I remember them promising 4 characters a year (lol). Now, if they were a quantum leap above Classified...let's face it though: they're not and they won't be. Oh, and the head sculpts are hit or miss. Classified has a few stinkers (Falcon, Cover Girl), but outside of toy-inspired Destro and Steve Harvey smilin' Roadblock, I'm not impressed with the Mezco heads. The extra hands are the only place Mezco is clearly beating Hasbro. Accessories too, I guess.

Sigh it’s been a shitty day for me as a toy collector. I’ve been hit in the dick with the shittiest luck with my latest haul. Ordered the three pack vipers and officer on Amazon only to get scammed by the piece of shit seller who took everything out of the box and replaced the figures with two fucking python patrol vipers. Got my refund from Amazon without an issue and I guess I got two figures for free but fuck that guy for wasting my time. I also had ordered the first classified snake eyes, which I was excited for but my goodness, his ab crunch was insanely loose, I couldn’t even pose him in a standing position as he will constantly slouch over so I opted to return him but it’s a third party seller and they might charge me 20% restocking fee. I also received my AY Hawks, which isn’t GI Joe I know and the shit came with a defective hair piece. I’m beginning to think I need to stop buying toys.

Why would they change with GI Joe? Even stuff released these past few months are still meeting that level of quality.

>current political climate surrounding guns.
There was more shit going on in the 90s and 00s than today, but then, corporations weren't falling over themselves to appease twitter back then, huh?... despite the anti-war rhetoric being huge in the 00s.

>Mezco will never have the variety.
You know you can mix and match toylines, right? Nevermind I don't give a shit about army building or even being a completist in 1:12 scale. Takes up way too much space and they aren't as playable as 1:18. I only buy my favorites in larger scales. So I only own like 5 Classified GI Joes, and two of those were gifts. In 1:18, i have hundreds of modern 25th-and-after Joes.

And I also upgraded Falcon today. I changed my mind about second-guessing the paint apps for his camouflage and left them as-is, because I kind of like how the simple green+black combo looks. added a knife to his chest rig, did Marauder arm surgery (which also let me add his watch/wristband), and swapped his head with movie-Flint.

Really, if you were going to make any modern comparisons with Cobra Commander, he'd probably be close to some composite of Saul Goodman and Walter White. He has a chip on his shoulder and a silver tongue, and those two things together make him extremely dangerous.

If I was in charge of writing a new version of GI Joe I would imply Cobra Commander has a borderline supernatural power of persuasion. He originally wanted to make an "honest living" but used his gift to take shortcuts that ultimately cost him everything, and now he believes the American dream is a pack of lies and that a strict regime of dominance is what the world deserves. It could even be implied that someone on the Joes' side like Duke or Hawk also possesses a similar "gift" to Cobra Commander but they only use it to inspire loyalty, whereas the Commander uses it to manipulate.

I think it was Larry Hama who said that the difference between GI Joe and a superhero comic is that a superhero comic is a power fantasy, whereas GI Joe is a loyalty fantasy.

It was Hama who said that, you are correct. It's the friend or family group that always has your back no matter what.

I think your take on G.I. Joe would be very interesting to read/watch. Maybe Joe Colton has this "gift" too, and that's why G.I. Joe was formed: because there will always be men like Cobra Commander who use their powers of persuasion for evil, for selfish gain. Hell, that's the core tenet of Cobra. You have left and right-wingers from across the globe that come together for the sole purpose of acquiring power. Power that they use to further their own selfish desires. It's what all the Vipers are promised when they join. The downfall of Cobra is that they all want to do different things with their power. Their loyalties are immediately torn when tested. In the end, they only serve themselves. G.I. Joe, on the other hand, is in service to a different ideal.

Even the cartoons did a pretty good job of showing how disloyal the Cobra leadership were to each other. Cobra Commander wants to take over the world, Destro wants to make weapons and do super science, Zartan wants money, etc. When their goals align they're very dangerous, but there's also a lot of potential friction when they don't.

The Joes, by contrast, are loyal to each other. Sometimes they their personalities clash, but you know at the end of the day that they are going to stick together and no-one gets left behind.
