Not bad... they didn't "classify" him up too badly. Not sure why his backpack went from grey to white, and his boots went from white to grey... it's like someone got confused. But those are minor nitpicks... or intentional screwups to give them somewhere to wiggle to when they do the retro...

Oh, you're one of *those*... ;) I'll try not to hold it against you! In my world Hawk >>> Duke as a leader, and Flint >>> Duke in the field, but I get it if people grew up with the 'toon as their major Joe influence. Duke was clearly the focal hero character.

So I dropped by the Ollie's after a costco run, and mine was the same as yours... plenty of Legacy Pilots and Snipers, no Soldiers or Divers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just goofing around...

It's by far the best looking and most fun build I've done so far. The designer did an excellent job making the parts intuitive, easy to assemble (hard to screw up by putting little alignment tabs everywhere), and generally doing things in a very thoughtful way (plus good photo instructions)...

I grew weary of waiting on Hasbro...

Oh definitely making new missiles... biggest question is, do I rob and modify them from that Big Lots missile truck or print them. And if I print them, what design do I go with, knowing full well someone will design something better specifically for the MMS within a few months. It's a matter...

I've gotta run that direction in the next day or two, might stop in and see if they've made it to Ollie's here. I'm not sure I *need* another pilot, but doing a full custom into classic Ripcord is the most certain way to get them to release the official ;)

Wife walked into my office at work this morning, looked at the new SNAKE armor on the shelf, and said, "Wow, did you print this? You're getting much better!" I was like, "No... but, thanks for telling me I suck!" :LOL: EDIT: just got email from AMZ, MMS & Hawk inbound tomorrow!

I like the idea of the alternate art... but the pose looks like they copied from Grunt's card art, and it's very scratchy-sketchy art, super far from the painted semi-realism of the original artist, Hector Garrido, or a classic artist like Earl Norem.

Fixed that for you. Edit: I also cynically wonder if it's not to juice sales on retro Flint since pulse got their stock so late, everyone has bought this wave elsewhere. Throw out a few random chase art variants and get people to gobble up the stock for a 1-in-100 shot at *different* terrible...

Latest wave of ReAction+ o-rings announced today... Pythona, Big Lob, Destro (arctic), Snake-Eyes v2 (in arctic parka). They look ok, about like all the others, but the big kicker is S7 jacking up the price to $25. They must be making them in the highest tariff place on earth. The S7 website...

Some TFW wannabe-hasbro-insider tried to convince me that TR (and thus mainframe) would translate to 5'11" based on his assumption that Roadblock would be 6'8". Pretty sure Zarana isn't 6' tall, and that TR (and larry hama that he's based on) are barely over 5'. People mistakenly think...

The toy deco is more practical, but the red in the toon deco really pops. I'm quite torn. -------------------------- WTH happened to Mainframe?! He's a midget! Zarana's gonna laugh at his tiny... stature. EDIT: It just dawned on me that they are reusing the Tunnel Rat mold. That's why...

Toy deco or toon deco?

Just got charged by Pulse for the SNAKE armor...

Heh, anything is possible where hasbro design choices are concerned... but when they include brown and causasian-skinned heads, the jet black arms are weird. I assume it's supposed to be some kind of skin-tight base layer... a "plausible" explanation except that no one has ever seen a cop...

We need photos when you get it all sorted. I love seeing people's displays.
