Grunt, Thanks for the pics and congratulations on finding a canvs top. It looks good but I'm thinking its kind of not to scale or maybe its more the (plastic) canvs top just has more detail.
Zonetoys, I like your idea of glueing cloth on to the plastic top. "Suede" paint ? i don't know. I'd try a thin old bed sheet...cotton somthing like that. The sculpture on the plastic top looks great but the texture of a thin cotton sheet glued on it might look better than Hasbros Canvas Top.

The top looks a lot more real in person, not sure how to describe it, but it does. One idea I had was that you could dampen the top somehow, which would cause it to sink down and push into the ribs a bit more. That would seem to be a great effect.

Love the idea of a canvas spray texture..

where'd you get all those barrels?

They are from build-a-rama..

What is the difference on the boxes for the cloth top vs. the plastic top? I want to make sure I don't pass one up in the store thinking it is the old plastic top truck.

What do you mean "different" Vogel figures?

The new cargo truck is exactly the same, besides the cloth top isn't it? I was really hoping they would deepen the bed a bit so figures could sit better in there.

Same here, but I guess you mean the battle pack Vogel. The only thing different about the battle pack Vogel is that he doesn't have his pimp stick from what I can see.

Picked up the IJ tank battle pack primarily for Vogel since I can't find the carded figure anywhere.

The battle pack Vogel has a Luger pistol molded into his hand instead of carring his pimp stick .

For the last time...the pistol is not molded into his hand! It's removable, just like the carded figure! Jeez!!!

Found the Mutt Williams on the motorcycle set today at the Los Banos CA Wal Mart. I had not seen one in my area further south, in part because I think other collectors snagged them ahead of me. (The other parts of that assortment have been out on the shelves for some time now.) I actually like it and now have a Mutt figure

Found something yesterday that I had not seen before at WM. A pack of 3 Indiana Jones figues: Mutt w/ snake, Indy and Russian Officer for 12.88
They also had: Mutt in leather jacket, Indy, Spalko.
You are saving 2 bucks on the 3 figures, but do I really need that much MUTT WILLIAMS?? No way. I have not even purchased a Mutt figure yet. Anyone find a good use for him or his accessories?

As difficult as it is I too have managed to avoid the siren's call of the Mutt Williams figure. He may make a good civilian figure, or use him for 1/18 '60s muscle car accessories, or could be used in bunches of four as a door stop. I don't have any muscle cars and don't need doorstops so until I find a use for greaser civilians I will pass. I am looking for the monkey with fez assortment though.

I managed to complete my Indy sets with the 12" Ark...."Snakes, why did it have to be snakes"

I know this is a 1/6 shot but I havent got around to photoing my 1/18 yet

dandaman · Post by **dandaman** » Mon Nov 03, 2008 5:59 pm

I found at least 4 pegs full of Mutt Williams figures.

I wonder what will happen to the thousands of Redemption figures and Arks that have not been claimed? All the Redemption stuff is now out of date.."All requests must be postmarked by October 31, 2008"

Found the Tank duel set over the weekend, Finally got my Vogel fig!!!!!

Jesse James · Post by **Jesse James** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 9:48 am

That and the Streets of Cairo set are wildly abundant here. Like literally 10 of each at any given Target I visit.

I'm still looking for carded Vogel and Elsa, and all the TOD wave... The whole IJ fiasco is just a nightmare to me at this point, and I'm not really caring if I wrap up the line or not... Though the TOD figures are really the best looking wave of the series, which is a shame.

STUKA · Post by **STUKA** » Tue Nov 04, 2008 9:52 am

i was able to find the grail knight loose - but thats it - the new toymags have the new figures advertised - why would they spend the money to advertise something they are going to cancle?

Found one of the new IJ cargo trucks today. Looks pretty good. Need to get several more.
