sadly, the comic colour variant are creeping up in price and often MORE than the MU TRU 3pack, we have a few of those as well, but use them as vehicle and mech drivers. Just never really cared for them much, they are spendy but readily available. I think it is the balaclava they wear that throws me off. They make a nice 'specialist' though.

The way to go is the dark green and red. There are 2 styles ( #12 armoured soldier and #15 attack trooper ) and the match the Dark Threat figures. Can find them from the Chinese sellers as well for around $8 a pop, sometimes. Ebay seller:therock9000 often has them.

For overall look, you can guess what ones we like ( #15 attack trooper comic coloured variant )The #12 variant figure has a brown harness and NO logo on the arm, the #15 variant figure has a yellow harness and HAS a HYDRA logo on the arm. The movie non variants are great if you just want to build up 3,5,7 or 10 of them for cheap. There are also other figures to use as 'filler' to boost your numbers and fill out a sceene as well. I will set up a big shot in the next few days with all of them and all the vehicles maybe.

Also, if you use the dark green, red and black movie figures there are a lot of options. Like the black and grey Red Skull as officers with simple blonde head swaps. I guess it really boils down to WHAT RED SKULL you want to use. ( we use the SDCC nvaders one ) I would say pick one, build the officers to match. Slowly build up troopers around those and look out for matching figures in GI JOE lines and others as well. Build you a Strucker to match as well in a common uniform colour. As long as there is a flow throughout them, it doesnt matter what figures you use mate..... just that they look good together.

Please dont go the road we went.... it is long, expensive, addictive and sort of silly. In fact, if you ever come across the ATTACK TROOPER #15 comic coloured variants, do your self a favour and get rid of it before it takes over. I will bear this drudgery for you.....

Find one, send him to me, and I will suffer for you.
