Theme Week - Chuckles
Description: Chuckles is one of those guys that's tough to really use in a realistic setting.  But, he's also a cool figure.  As a kid, I always had his holster as a waist belt instead of a chest strap.  I also put other weapons (notably, Flint's shotgun) into it.

It sucks that there's no real alternate look for Chuckles.  I'll never forgive the club for releasing him (even making a new head) in the same colors as before.  Why not a differently colored shirt or something?!?

I do think his release year helps him.  If he showed up later, I don't think he'd get the pass that he does.

I've always used his holster as a shoulder holster.

I used to have the moth version, and when I was younger I loved it since it was the only version of the character I had at the time.  Looking back on it, the moth version was weird.  Why did they use the heavy duty body?  They could have easily come up with a new outfit for him.  So bizarre.

I'd love to have a whole series of Chuckles v1 repaints with different shirt colors and patterns.

Chuckles is a fun figure and character, though I kind of have more fun with him being some down and out Tallahassee reporter who kind of stumbled on the secret Joe vs. COBRA war going on.

Yeah, the Heavy Duty repaint was about as bland as it gets.

This will be a fun chance to use a character I've hardly touched in the past. To me, Chuckles is an interesting concept, but not really a toy a feel much passion for.

I always assumed it went around the waist! Now I'll have to try to rig it up as a shoulder holster.

Cool shot, that Tele-Viper is wishing he came with a weapon!

Chuckles is a better figure than he has any right to be. I have a photo taken last year featuring Chuckles that I might have to dig up.
