Hasbro’s 30th Joe line is a highly successful reboot of the original Joes, updated with superior articulation and detailing. Unfortunately, some may come as too generic when it comes to accessories, especially pistols, that fit unto the molded holsters.

So! I grabbed a slew of pistols from diverse toy lines and did a comparison of which fits. Most did not fit, however, so only those that fit (with some barely!) are pictured below.

From left to right, top to bottom:
BBi Sig + light
Mezco Glock
Hasbro HK
Hasbro Beretta

BBi 1911 + light
Hasbro 1911
Destro’s .38
BBi 1911 + light
Hasbro 1911
BBi Glock
Hasbro Desert Eagle

Marauder Beretta
Marauder Sig
Marauder Python
Snowjob’s .38
Marauder 1911
Marauder USP
Marauder Luger

Test Subject: 30th Snake Eyes’ right drop down holster. Should be the same as 30th Stalker.

Closer look at the holster:

First up: Marauder Sig
Not a bad fit…

Next is Destro’s .38

…then Marauder’s Python.
Nope, revolvers look out of place, especially beside the suppressor

Hasbro’s HK is a tad oversized but not too bad…

Marauder’s Luger. Fits, obviously, but it’s not a pistol associated with modern use.

BBi 1911 + light is a good match only because BBi’s scale is a bit smaller.

Marauder’s 1911 fits ok. Highly recommend to do some painting to make it look modern, though.

Last is Hasbro’s Beretta.
It’ll do but Berettas aren’t used often, nowadays, with newer designs available.

I hope to see a two-seater in the future :D

Most are closed Pre-Orders. More to come :)

Bruce Willis as General Joseph “Joe” Colton

Cancelled Ashiko with Cycle Armour. 

Yes, it’s better off as a motorcycle and Ashiko is better off with a version of Wraith’s Armour.  He looks like a male-bot.

Tons of accessories but I think I’ll be adding highlights to his helmet.

Enjoy!

The only Renegade I’m aiming to get.  Contrary to other Renegades, Tunnel Rat is full of accessories, though some are dubious.  Unless he’s planning to camp out in a cave, somewhere, using his robot to catch rodents for dinner.  Note the scoped M60 with no ammo.  At least, he has a six shooter :)

Everything sounds classier in Japanese.

You can’t appreciate GI Joe until you’ve seen it in the original Japanese
