So desert scorpion is an army builder and not a named guy?

It's your fantasy, Luda.

 

[Justice]

I ask because I accidentally ordered 2. Thought about keeping the second just to have another huge scorpion but if the guy is an army builder too then that's kind of a happy accident.

In original continuity, yes they were army builders.

You should make one with some battle damage like he's just really unlucky with the MOS Cobra gave him.

I do have to say this scorpion gives me the heebie jeebies. He is entirely too realistic and triggers my arachnophobia and I don't really like handling him much.

That is why I skipped it. I also passed Serpentor for the glider. Yup.

Maybe it would be an easier decision if he was named Dessert Scorpion? That one "s" changes everything. I'm reconsidering him because I almost didn't buy Budo and Sarge/Mercer were shipped because I forgot I preordered. Turns out I'm happy to have those three, so maybe I would feel the same about Scorpion.

I wish I had picked up the custom kit they did for Joefest last year. Heel Slaughter with a Cobra world title. Just couldn't make myself spend the 60.00 for it at the time.

 

[Ru1977]

Yeah, I'm still looking into female damned Crimson Guards! I found another one from the European comic, Action Force Monthly, Julia Kreig.

I have three of them and just this summer all the of the bandana heads had the bandana just fall right off with a white residue where the nub was. Easy fix but worth noting. Also curious if his happened to anyone else.

I'll look out for it, though my standard head for this figure is the hat with glasses. The bandana head is nice but she's got this slight grin that feels a little too casual for the sort of action poses I want to put her in. My only real complaint with her so far is I wish both heads were modular.

A different question for folks that have either the Steel Corps Sentry or Steel Corps Commander:

Am i imagining it or do both of them have a spare pistol holster on the belt that they don't have a weapon for? I don't see anybody mentioning it in reviews but they only come with one pistol and seem to have a hip and belt holster.

I have the commander, which I put a different head on, but yes I believe I did have to give him a spare sidearm for the second holster. They do weirdness like that sometimes. Holsters without guns, knives without sheaths etc.
