hmm.....Cutter's not bad. A little too macho looking for my tastes but i can probably replace the arms.
You are steeped in Joe lore i see, Mr. Miner.
If you think of any others please let me know..

there are two styles of Cutters i see. This one i like better, except the vest is a bit short. No so muscular though, which i like better.

I believe this is the 2001 version, which is a rerelease of the one you like. I've ordered from this seller a couple times - very easy to deal with. The only "questionable" figure I received was the Jungle Viper convention exclusive. The bad screw was glued in. So, I'm not sure if it was a factory reject, or if they glue the screws on the convention parachute figures. But, all the other figures I've bought have had the standard screws.
Hopefully he gets more if you buy these

I've had my eye on them, but have been waiting for him to get some new stock of other figures in (buying in bulk really cuts the shipping costs down)

well, after some consideration i've decided to just customize a bunch of Whiteouts i have. The torso is a good base for a life vest, with some sculpy work and the legs are what i'm looking for. Just need to swap heads and put on some short sleeved arms.....all from the parts bin. Zero cost and i think they'll look pretty decent when finished.
