London Comiccon news:
Zap, CL, and female CG look exactly as I would expect. I *think* zap has a uniform color, but it's hard to tell.
Name only reveals:
Taurus & Red Dog 2-pack - I passed on weird Mercer, so these too will likely not make the cut
Hydro-Viper - I prefer Eels, but one or two...
Cool, that's pretty simple, not sure how the other guys were making such a big deal of it. They must have been doing it the hard way.
It still looks a little off, but not much can be done about the rear being too long. The extended wheel well is what it is. Still, it's hard to argue that it...
I hear you. I read that quote about the construction too, but since the stock vehicle is so retarded looking, I have no problem "damaging" it to make it look better. The chances I would ever put it back to stock are zero. It looks stupid, and I despise selling things, so the need to go back...
Gridiron wheels + GridIron retro cannon on AWE Striker (not my pic)... completely transforms it from terrible to pretty great. I have no idea if the wheels are an easy press-on like with the VAMP, but I've got my order in to find out.
I might get Budo when he goes to super clearance on black friday '26, but I dislike him so much from a conceptual standpoint, there is only so much I'm willing to pay for *just* nostalgia.
I ordered the four good figures (not MoleRat), but I definitely tempered my NightViper order quantity, and...
I'll probably bite on everything that isn't stupid Mole Rat. But I'll be biting in smaller quantities on nearly everything. 40% price hikes in five years is a pretty steep gouge, even for us plastic crack addicts.
I'm torn on the Royal Guard. I have Nemesis Divorcer, and I'll have Pythona in...
I ordered a single pythona just because, as I already have Nemesis Enforcer (I refuse to call him "Immortal"). But hasbro's pricing is insane now. I know it's a con exclusive, but with tax, she's over $50. Technically, she's a deluxe, but her few little baubles don't equate to SnowJob's gear...
I also got two vipers, two snow serpents, and a clearance Flight Pod from the Prime sale this week.
Oh, and I pulled the trigger on Vala's blind box sale on a Vanguard with all the add-on kits for $99. In theory you don't know what variant you're getting, but I was 99% sure it would be the...
There was a Big Lob figure in ARAH?! Never heard of that before... and Mercer-based... interesting.
But like you, I disliked the crossover stuff, so I'm not sad we didn't get Jordan or Dr J as a freakin' Joe.
By '87, they were clearly looking for inspiration far and wide. '86 was the great...
I agree about the truck mods and some of the stranger add-on accessories (hard pass on the weird mech stuff). But I actually like the ice-vehicle application of the AWE body, but mostly because it marginally looks like an actual ARAH vehicle. Arctic Blast... paint the gridiron tube frame...
I know he's wearing a basketball jersey, but wth is wrong with hasbro? Not counting real-world Fridge, there are two figures that wear sports jerseys out of hundreds of soldiers, and they're both red and both #14. Bazooka should sue.

Also, interesting new offering from Gridiron...
Nothing wrong with FN SE... I just passed b/c he didn't really do anything for me that the original few releases of that mold didn't do.
I would only roll my eyes at Butterscotch SE :LOL:
Edit: DD having another coupon code "TREAT" for in-stock. Noteworthy is MMS with Hawk is in stock, and...
Retro troopers on sale for Prime day. I couldn't pass up a couple more Vipers @ $17/ea. They're so much better than the first classified version. I think I have enough Snow Serpents, Eels, and blueshirts... but we'll see if my resolve holds throughout the day :LOL:
Yeah, I can't say I'd have chosen the Hiss Driver as the mold to use for this guy, but I'm not as huge of a fan of NV as some, so I'm not inclined to worry about it much either way. He has a wild cult status among certain fans, and some of them will certainly hate that choice. I had one as a...
MASS diver 2-pack is ready to ship from Target and is eligible for the $10 off $40 (or $20 off $75) promo.
G.I. Joe Classified Series #169, G.I. Joe Diver Vs. Cobra Diver Action Figure : Target
I don't mind a *smattering* of the weird sci-fi, but it's definitely not my preferred part of the lore. I don't mind picking up a small group of CobraLa main cast, but I've got my own headcanon about how they fit... and CoCo is not "one of them". In my head, even my OnceAMan CoCo is just a...
I agree he was never my favorite, but mostly because of my '86 unified replacement theory... doc >>> lifeline. And because he was a wuss in the cartoon. But I'm in for basically any '82-'87 character that isn't Big Lob (now *heavily* rumored to be the 5th figure in this wave).
