Gunslingers!

What do you do when Cobra starts messing about in the West? G.I. Joe sends its gunslingers with irons ablaze! Here are a few shots of some new Joes I picked up during the last TAGCOM. I managed to buy a few dozen loose joes but mainly to cannibalize parts from These three have somehow needed no modifications except for Dart's helmet which looked too small. A quick chop and some superglue plus a resin helmet courtesy of Conundrum of TS118 fixed the problem. Wild Bill, Barrel Roll and Dart are from the Valor and Venom lines released sometime 2002 to 2004 I think. As usual, clicking the pictures below will bring up bigger pictures. Enjoy!

The Nightmare Before Christmas: Doctor Finkelstein

Doctor Finkelstein is a resident of Halloween Town. He is the mad scientist and the "father" of Sally. He is described as a pale-as-a-sheet mad scientist with a duckbill-like mouth and a hinged skullcap that he can open up to reveal his brain. Doctor Finklestein lives in a large observatory with his living rag doll creation Sally and his hunchbacked assistant Igor. James Whale's Frankenstein is quoted in Finklestein's line "I made you with my own hands" which is ironic as Finklestein's body appears to be largely if not entirely artificial. Unlike Frankenstein who takes no responsibility for his creations and disowns them almost as soon as they are completed (much like the original Dr. Frankenstein), Finklestein takes full responsibility over Sally and acts as an over-protective father and in some ways an overbearing husband (thus explaining Sally's attempts to run away) by keeping her under lock and key under the pretext of shelterin...
