How many jumps is too many? I love jetpacks, I can't explain why. I love my Duke with JUMP. I love my Stalker with JUMP.I can't wait to get Skyduster. And when the last DVD set comes out and I have an additional Duke with JUMP, I'm throwing the extra JUMP on Grand Slam. The thing is, I only have about twenty 25A figures, half of which are Joes. Can I seriously get away with most of my Joe team with jetpacks? Because that feels like an entirely different toyline.

I say go for it. Jetpacks are a ton of fun and it cuts down on space yo uwould be using for vehicles.

Plus, tell me you don't <3 the idea of Rock N Roll firing his M60 whilst blasting through Cobra territory.

That's a GREAT idea!

Actually the great thing about the JUMP is you can take it off if you are getting tired of it and it doesn't take up a lot of room to store. And if you can get a few of those SHS flying stands they'll look all the better.

So to answer your question, no you can't have too many JUMPs.

Just score some COBRA Air Troopers to balance everything out.



/I find buying more Joes solves most problems in life.

The silver JUMP from Duke looks GREAT on Grand Slam.

Just sayin. . .

I see nothing wrong with everybody having a JUMP. It's a great accessory that's got all the playability of a vehicle without the footprint. What's not to love?

The only reason I got it too. But hey, if you don't want that Duke, then just wait for the MASS pack that has Donkey Punch Duke, and take it from him. Assuming you are getting those I mean.

Why not? Wasn't there a specific point in the cartoon where the JOEs used many JUMPs at once?


Think of it this way:

1) Find a department store or online vendor that is getting rid of used female mannequins. Buy one. Buy some greenish material, some flip flops, a decent sized coffee table book, and a spiked crown. Make up a torch with a golden flame at the top. Paint the entire parts to mtch the Statue of Liberty.

Re-enact the opening scene of the GIJOE movie when all the JOEs are JUMPing off of the Statue to defeat the Cobra (best song evah!).

or

2) Instead of a dio, buy the materials and dress up as the Statue of Liberty. Watch the GIJOE Movie to find out correct character position. Secure said action figures to costume and go to various Halloween parties.

(Sure beats getting a bunch of armybuilders, tying string to them, securing them to various parts of the costume and going as a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Balloon!!!)

It took me a long time to understand what you were getting at.

The more jet packs the better.

I really like the added harness on the screaming duke coming down the line
