    Are YOU an army builder ? :-O

    Army building can bury you. In so many ways.
    I'm not talking about a dozen 1964 GI Joes dressed as a full DIVERSE Army squad.
    I'm talking about WAVES of the same footrooper.

    I built a Cobra Python Patrol Army, A Stormtrooper army, SGT Savage Germans, Lewis from the line of Robocop ( the Commander Cash one) , Swamp Thing "Skin Man" zombies, . . . .

      Absolutely,

      What would any collection be without an army or two of like figures. I am talking Soldier Apes out the wazoo. Silver, Blue, Maroon, Lizard

      Plus a Helmet Ursus to command each above platoon.

      Star Wars original 70's and new vintage - storm troopers, Emperor's Royal Guards, Tusken Raider's, Jawas, X-Wing fighter pilots, Snow Troopers, Sand Troopers (I think you kind of get the picture)

      G.I. Joe 1982- Cobra Enemy and Cobra Officers

        At one time I was. I still have squads of Cobra Infantry, Cobra Vipers and Crimson Guard troops and Cobra Bats. I also have a smaller amount of Clone Troopers and Stormtroopers. I actually have a small airforce of Cobra and GI Joe planes not to mention armor. The downside is that I've collected myself into acorner space wise and it's been hard to sell some of these things.

              In the modern era clone Star Wars universe, I started to pick up one version of each clonetrooper and amassed a small army that way. I stopped doing this several years ago, but, still pick up a clone or two on occasion. The last one was an ARF trooper. I just couldn't pass up a soldier who called himself Arf.

              It is, on occasion, difficult to stifle the urge to have an enormous Jawa army. I could probably have a thousand Jawas and not get tired of them. Dunno why.

                  Hmmmm....

                  I like to build squads of figures. For 8" scale, I'll make 5 man teams; 4 troops and one leader. In 3.5" scale I usually go with 10 man troops, although I have a LOT of Stormtroopers. (They were pretty cheap after "The Phantom Menace" came out.)

                      I army build Pizzazz dolls.

                      You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

                        Only if they are all in the same uniform.
                        I have old pictures not scanned in yet.
                        I CANT POST PICS YET.

                        Does anybody army build teh good guys from GI Joe? I know they made a Green Shirt generic pack for TRU a while back.

                        Cobra and Stormtroopers definatelly seem to be the popular guys.
                        I'm working on a MEGO Gorilla Army now . . . . . . . .

                            I've definitely been a big-time psychotic Original Trilogy STAR WARS army-builder for years!

                            I have a couple of thousand Imperial Troops in my collection alone... as well as Rebel troop armies.

                            Just on Imperial Stormtroopers for example, I own a little over 500 men.

                              Just a couple of thousand? sigh.....Once again you have let me down. I was expecting much higher numbers than that by now. Now go back to your vintage Star Wars room and recount them. I think you will find that you may have over looked a thousand or two.

                              Pretty impressive collection as always my friend. Glad to see that you take your collecting serious.
