When they announced the greenshirt, my first thought was he was 90% of the way to a Sparks figure. Finally got around to finishing the mods.

Yeah, lack of a disney tax is the reason Joe exists. I think if they were as sparse and uninspired as SWB at the same price point, Classified would have died as a novelty release after the first two waves.

I've found that SWB are all tiny... by hasbro 1/12 standards. They're probably true 1/12 scale, but that's no bueno next to hasbro's other 6" lines. As for Chewy... yeah, I've always thought he was a little large in the version I have (early SWB) but I didn't buy the latest refreshes, so I...

Approximately 8.3 gagillion hours went into printing them, but I'm pretty pleased with the results. It's all a learning curve, and I cringe at many of the mistakes I made, early on especially... but not enough to redo any project. Live and learn, tackle something new. Still have a mountain of...

So I finally got some time in the photo studio to get some good pics of various projects I've been working on...

This photo vexes me. I don't recall the OG Snowcat dwarfing the HISS like this... They really did upscale it a lot. No wonder it was so expensive. They could have made it smaller, ditched the troop-transport feature, and made it more of a vehicle and far less of a rolling coffee table. From...

One of the main reasons my SW and ML buying have slowed to a crawl. I feel like I'm getting ripped off every time I pay the disney tax for a mediocre figure with a single accessory. Joe isn't cheap by any means, but you at least feel like they're *trying* to give you some bang for the buck...

Ketchup and Mustard are up for PO. Honestly, I'm surprised that they aren't more gouge-y. They're only $59 for the set. I assumed Hasbro would try to tack on an extra $20 because of the plastic box accessory...

Yeah, that issue of the comic was in the early 40s, somewhere in the gulf around the time of the formation of Cobra Island. That Rod Whigham art was stellar during that run from the early 30s to the mid-50s, definitely my favorite Joe era of the comic. I just never liked the character for his...

That's funny, my only Mad Marauders figure is also Barbecue... because he was on super-sale and he's not bright orange. I always figured I'd paint him a solid OD or something but never got around to it. Now I'm convinced that we'll probably get a better BBQ that isn't a repainted Destro...

Sure, I'd pick up the Renegades at 80% off too, but not the blue/green/brown Marauders repaints that are an assault on the eyeballs. I don't like the Renegades much, but they'd add color to the shelf and/or might have some useful parts. Mercer is a cool enough character on his own, however...

My retro Zap, Crazy legs, and girl CG shipped, even got a discount on CL with the prime preprder guarantee, got him for less than $25. I'll probably swap his head with the DF/NF version, as I'm not a fan of the screamy-face, but the '87 shelf demands his presence.

Gridiron helmets are nice, good quality. I don't think you'll be disappointed. I have no interest in a MTO Dragonfly of any flavor. One is enough, and even the one I have is so big I've never done anything with it. Reminds me of the Spotcat or the BMF... just so big it's more like furniture...

Yeah, based on the current pivot to the 90s / late ARAH era, I expect the Duke to be a v3 "Desert Duke", which does nothing for me. Total zeroburger. Mistress Armada was introduced in the early 2000s Devil's Due comics. IIRC, Destro in that series was actually his half-black son...

New retro wave and IG Destro/Despoiler up for PO. Oddly, Destro isn't a pulse exclusive, available on amazon too.
