    Takara Transformers

    I haven't seen any, but I haven't hit many discount stores lately. I don't think many mainlines end up in the discount bins anymore. I've seen random movie figs and some of the WM retro minibots, but not a lot of studio series or other main figures. It almost feels like production numbers...

    I haven't convinced myself to get the SF trooper yet... just not sure where he would fit, despite being a nice looking figure. Maybe if he does hit clearance. I'm still waiting on a big discount on the cop. Not sure what I'll do with him either, but it feels like he'd have lots of various...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    Oh yeah, I've gotten to the point with ML X-Men that I have to stage my display in "eras". I have far too many Cyclops and Wolverine (and everyone else) figures to display just one of each, so I make teams from different time periods and pose them together. So I definitely get the urge to...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    Yeah, I only bought two of the first one, knowing I didn't want to army-build a figure that was so far removed from the original that a retro was practically guaranteed. But he looks like an officer type with the long coat tails and fancier uniform. That was always my plan on how to use him...

    Yeah, I agree, Destro in my world doesn't run an independent army... he has a security team and a few specialists (who demonstrate MARS gear and train lesser cobra troopers on said gear), but Destro shouldn't have an army-army. Metal Head has served as a lower-half donor for improving...

    Yeah, I'll be getting those. I was never a huge IG Destro fan, but it's solid, and I'll find a use for him. The retros are good, will pick them up, but I don't know why they used the webgear with the crossbar for Grunt when Stalker's correct gear exists. Hasbro gonna hasbro...

    PO's go up for 250th Duke and DIRE Night Creepers this morning... "WM Con". A few pieces will be on pulse but will disappear within seconds during the Premium window. Or you can order at WM and flip a coin if your order will be randomly canceled down the road, only to have them hit clearance a...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    Yeah, it's easy to see it going either way. It could disappear, never to return like Serpentor and the Arctic BAT... and it could be $23 on black friday like a Trubble Bubble. The fact that it's not a pulse exclusive means that production numbers are likely higher than some, but probably...

    Zanya up for PO... and some other stuff I wasn't paying attention to. EDIT: Dino-Viper is also up... ugh. :sick:

    I like them just for the novelty of it. I think I would use them as comic relief. Who wouldn't love a Mustard-Viper?!

    Holy crap, we're getting a ketchup and mustard 2-pack!

    I've got to start taking some pics. In recent weeks, I've finished up building Classified versions of the Cobra Missile Command, my Cobra inspired variant of the Endor bunker, Tactical Battle Platform, Wolverine, Cobra WOLF, and I'm currently printing a STUN. I'm also working on a ton of dio...

    S7 is making a wave of reaction plus figures decorated like that. I have zero use for such a thing in my joe-world, but as a 250th anniversary novelty, maybe? I saw that article, and I found it ironic that a figure celebrating our independence was leaked by Pulse UK. Think the british will be...

    Exactly, so it's not just me. Lifeline has the same 25th diaper crotch. Beats me. Again, I'm hoping it's a poor attempt to make the pants look baggy and not the new norm across the board.

    Thanks! It took over a month to print, and several weekends to assemble.... not counting the time it took to recreate the entire sticker package in photoshop. It was a heck of a project.

    My other HnRs finally showed up, and NV is supposed to be delivered tomorrow from amazon... meaning it'll be next week.

    I ordered Airtight, Hydro, and Royal Guard. Airtight is the only one from today I care much about... not because he's a good character, but my internal completionist needs him to fill out the '85 shelf. And I have to say, it's a pretty solid looking figure, ignoring that he's highly...

    Well Sundown's card pretty much confirms that Headman and the headhunters are coming our way. It's definitely the 90s all over again.

    Forgive the crappy phone pics... I'll take some better ones with figures and proper lighting soon, but I just wanted to throw this out there. The pics don't do it justice. It's massive. Doesn't even fit on the table.

    I think the quality in general has always been ok, as I don't think I've broken anything (gummy weapons and overly tight joints are the worst offenders)... but some of the aesthetic and design choices are questionable. But to be fair, none of that is new. From the beginning, we've gotten gold...
