It's darn near July, but, I've been on a little arctic kick for awhile. I was gonna do an outdoor set up last winter with all my cold weather specialists. I don't have any arctic-themed vehicles, it would have been a fairly simple scene set in the snow. I never got around to it.
I didn't have a proper Snow Job at that time, either. I sort of still don't, but at least he's got a red beard. Snow Job must have a red beard. Hair color applies to other figures for me, but more on that at another time.
I had the 2000-ish ARAHC "White-out." That was my Snow Job. But the brown beard didn't do much for me, especially as Snow Job. I'm not too keen on White-out, but perhaps this is a character worth investigating more for inclusion at some point.
I ordered the 1997 Snow Job figure, loose from JOEPARTS.COM. Everything came in well! But, those '97/'98 figures are really a little bit lesser in quality than most, as you may know.
I had to switch the heads on these figures, and while the '97 head was whiter in shade, I don't feel like it clashes too much. I'm sure Snow Job is layered up pretty well working in the cold. But not too layered, and the older-mold skinnier figure feels a little more like a cross-country skier in that he's not a big bulky guy...this guy travels long distances just like a long distance runner. Usually not an overly heavy or gear-burdened activity in mind, anyway.
So, I have some 6 months before good snow is on the ground for some pictures. I'm thinking about adding the new Snow Cat to my ranks.
