Rendition

“Rendition” is a another term for snatching enemy personnel. Here, a G.I.Joe team raids a suspected Siegie safehouse, and lifts a Crimson Guard–in full dress uniform, no less! 

 Tunnel Rat pulls up the barely conscious Siegie into the Humvee while his team mates provide cover.

 

 OK, target secured.

 

 Flint and Roadblock cover the front.

 

 As Tunnel Rat and Ripcord make sure the trussed up Siegie is on his best behavior.

 

 Securing the flexi-cuffs, just to be sure.

 

 Right. One dressed up Siegie ready for delivery!

 

 Flint is the leader of the snatch team.

 

 With Beach Head as second-in-command

 

 The rest of the team are: Ripcord;

 

 Leatherneck;

 

 Roadblock;

 

 Dialtone;

 

and Tunnel Rat, of course.

Stand-offish

Here’s a desktop mini-dio I set up spontaneously. I was able to buy a CP Mainframe and Beach Head from Kidzone in Shangri-La Plaza during our vacation in the Philippines last month (John acted as my tour guide, by the way. Thanks, bro!).

A few days later, my family and I went to Festival Mall, where I picked up a Fred VII figure (no helmets, rifle, stand and revolver, sheesh!) and a PP Crimson Guard (with a sub-machinegun!) at Black Dragon). When I got home, I played around with the stuff and here they are:

‘Noks in Bangkok

Guess who dropped by Bangkok recently? Who else but the Dreadnoks! Zartan’s dreaded biker gang apparently wanted to take a break from wreaking havoc in the US and decided to take a hop to Thailand.

 

Nod, Wynken and Blynken take a look at the city’s ubiquitious mass transport system — the three-wheeled “tuk-tuk”.

 

“Is this gig cool or what, mate?”

 

But wait, the Dreadnoks realize this tuk-tuk is not 1:18 scale. “It’s way too big, m’lads!”

 

“Let’s cut this baby down to size then!”

 

“Nyahahaha!”
