Hats off to the guys who made the latest wave of Joe figures.

This guy here only needed new head, and seeing as his likeness seems heavily featured on Guillotine, I thought that this match up makes more sense. Also customized, his legs were chopped at the boot.

Finally, a unsung Joe of all sorts, Ice Cream Soldier. Rarely spoken of, or hardly mentioned, this guy has all the makings of a unique character. Read his card, and see what you think.

Apparently he has his name from the WWII flame troopers who would be called in via radio and called "Ice Cream Soldier" to throw off the enemies listening. I like this guy. The fact that he "makes Cobras melt like hot fudge on a summer sidewalk" gives him the okay in my book too

He's currently featured in the checkpointalpha dio, "Return to the Killing Fields," linked below the pic. You can see more of him there

Now thats pretty dam cool. Its high time ICS was given some love.

NIce job.

So is the Corps and the ninja head a head swap thing or are you really good at hollowing out heads?

I've been successful with hollowing soft heads out, but this one is just a head swap. Hollowing this one out would be tight.

I can imagine. So did you do the neck post thing or do you just take it apart for pictures/play.
