G.I. Joe Classified One-A-Day Beamish-Style Figure Poll - #271 - Roadblock (Resolute)

I didn't watch the stream but I actually respect them differentiating. We knew a beige Clutch had to be on the way, but I always found the two figures who felt too... I guess too much like I've met this guy at a bar type actual desert storm (or more more recent conflict) face sculpts were the first Breaker (that guy looked too much like Bradley Cooper in a war movie) and Clutch, though Clutch had so much personality in that sculpt it didn't bug me much.

The more retro/anachronistic/not-from-our-real-world the Joes look the better for me.
 
I'll admit I go the other way. I get the reflex of this reminding you of the ugly, traumatic thing, but they're very separated in my head. But I am also the guy who is utterly unable to picture Hayden Christianson in the Vader suit during the OT. Just a different character for me.

It’s more that I just don’t have any connection to nor care for the real-world military, except for the “ick” of “modern warfare”, which is definitely largely connected to that modern casual-desert-gear, Chris Kyle look that is so popular with the sniveling cowards of MAGA and ICE.

So I’m not even really looking for any military realism at all, honestly. And I never was, even pre-Desert Storm. So I don’t “miss” it when it’s not there, and when it *is* there it’s gonna be filtered through my modern lens.

Ha ha definitely agree with this, but that’s a VERY different breed of trauma.
