A bottle of Singha in one hand, wad of Baht in the other and one each - Benny boy in whittie tighties and bar girl with number on her dress.

A copy of the service wear and appearance regs, so when I open the package, and begin correcting the doll with my trusty laser eyes and DA 4856, my counseling would be effective and my corrective training would be effective. It should also come with an contact number and email of the Hasbro rep who will take these counseling's and process them into the dolls ERB or branch equivalent. Should an Art15 be required, I'd also need the info on the dolls Chain of Command and it's NCO Support channel. Hasbro should send the dolls in accordance with AR 600-9, current APFT/HW, and the BRO patch IN RED on the right arm.

A GI Joe of a young soldier with a sick call slip, or better yet one with a no shaving profile! Haha

The ambidextrous and asexual GI Joe would be a "welcome" addition to some. The transexuation GI Joe would be hard to verify without a discerning eye - this would a mature-audiences only version of GI Joe and probably would be produced in limited numbers and very "collectable."

The Specialist that disappears when you need it. You've got your scene all set up and you're ready to play. Your SSG doll needs another volunteer for a work detail and suddenly you can't find that damn SPC doll.

How about the ribbon chaser? It whines every day about ribbons it deserves until you fill out a 672.

Overweight E7, complete with P3 profile, and DA 5500 packet with a copy of the AR 600-9. Evey time you read an excerpt, the Joe whines and gives an excuse. So lifelike it's scary!

Rear-Echelon CSM. Tall doll with pasty white skin, and a deployment patch nobody has ever seen. Comes with a shiny clean uniform, an empty head, and a list of "regulations" that he repeats over and over but neither references, nor provides Memo for.

Sharp NCOIC: black female SFC, out of weight standards, has out-of-regs hair style, excessive makeup, and flaming hot-pink nails. Every time you say something around the doll, you're reminded of the SHARP policy, and respect for rank.

How about that fat guard/reservist who only PT's when he is about to get kicked out.
