cannon fodder.
The poor extra figures that were bystanders.
The guys that drew the fire from the Joes.
The ones that got the marker.
Yes, I was a sick little bastard! Judge if you want, but YOUR reading this and remembering where the bodies you buried are!!
BUT................. there had to be carnage and a red marker was a good simulation. These are the ones I kept. A reminder of the poor "other" figures that took the bullets so the glory boys could save the world.
HAHA! This is Great,I did the exact same thing when I was a kid. I still have a Death Star Trooper with little red dots all over him and a funny color from being buried so many times.
ReplyDeleteI knew I wasn't alone! So many suffered this fate!! The best is I used a erasable red marker for blood on LJN Wrestlers and it washed right off!!
DeleteRemember that scene from The Boy Who Could Fly when the little brother dug up all his "dead" Joes? He buried his heavy hitters. That scene always got to me.
ReplyDeleteWow...never seen it but I'm putting it in my queue! Alot of my joes wound up as targets for my pellet gun!!
DeleteOh, the carnage.
ReplyDeleteWar is not for the weak hearted. Doc became one of my busiest Joes!!
DeleteLone Ranger and the Adventure People never knew what hit them!
