    the thing on Falcon's right side harness strap is supposed to be the mic connected to the radio on his back not a pouch. A Marauders' walkie-Talkie or similar would have worked better I think. I believe the original 1980's figure fits as a 1-0 (Squad leader) or 1-2 (Radio Operator), the 1's were always americans on a special forces team from the Vietnam war, some 1-0's in SOG teams doubled as 1-2's because the radio was their primary tool and their most important piece of equipment as they used it to call in for extraction and rain fire on much superior NVA forces after them (since they operated well behind enemy lines) and they wouldn't trust the indigenous troops that comprised most of the squad with it. I liked your figure a lot, Lt. Falcon is one of my favorite joe figures and so I hated what they did to him in the cartoon movie playing him like a goon. Never read the comics so I don't know how he was there. Supposedly, Marauder's is doing a Vietnam era figures and weapons Kickstarter soon in 2020, I can't wait to see what he is going to surprise us with.

    VideoPortfolio2010 Good question! Any decent acrylic paint you would buy at a hobby store will do for camo patches. I spray the figures with a clear coat once they’re painted. It has held up great! The paint still looks excellent. For painting an entire figure, I’d use a more expensive acrylic paint, and use several coats to make sure U don’t have brush strokes. Good luck!!

    Well, I don’t replace the paint. I just add a little more here and there. To replace the forearms, simply soak them in real hot water for a few seconds. Then gently pull them out. Do the same to put back in.

    Nice, that came out well. You're so right about the modern Falcons that Hasbro has done, blech. Some decent sculpts but the colors they are molded suck, the head isn't too bad though. For my Falcon, I used the head off the Retaliation Flint, I thought he looked more like Falcon anyways (young, reckless and cocky).

    I've just been seeing videos about Marauders, first encounter was with ODC channel, yesterday watching chapman channel and then yours. Although most videos i've watched were dated 2016 and this 2017, I wonder if Marauder is still up and running and if they ship overseas... I think it's way better than GI Joe in some aspect, especially if you're into Troop Building/Army builder.
