Character names

[Malcolm Orr]

Hi,

I'm making up my team, and here's my series bible so far, with more to come.

My take on continuity is this...

The Hasbro/Marvel AF is the 'core' and where a character didn't appear in MAF then the default is palitoy/BAF (which is probably the wrong way round to most approaches), and then GI Joe, which I consider a separate parallel continuity (so our Lady Jaye is Irish and didn't die by the Shadows, but her Joe parallel counterpart did die that way; similarly our Flint has a more heroic, almost Duke-like persona, than his harder edged Joe counterpart).

However I'm using the AF versions of the older characters. I have Torpedo as from Netherlands, Snow Job as from Perth, though Mutt is scottish as per his hasbro AF era cardback.

Anyway, I don't have names of the BAF characters, so I made them up. Here's my requests for help...

1. I have called Snow Job 'Hamish Moore' - did he have a name in BAF?

2. Torpedo i have called 'Eduard Vermeer'

3. Does anyone have a photo of the AF Beachhead cardback please?

As an aside I've been a way for a while as we now have a new baby daughter!!!!

Cheers Paul! Quite a few, but it's not bad at all. Quite enjoy it. Saps my enthusiasm for customs, but they'll restart again soon I imagine.

Congrats Malc, I was wondering where you'd got to. Have a look in the BFTB toy archive, there's been a heap of card added. A few of yours too, if I'm not mistaken.
