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

    Has he made figures before? I'm wondering about the quality and compatibility to blend in with the CS figs.

    Oh yeah, AMZ says my Zanya is supposed to arrive on Monday. That's a surprise! Apparently I stopped paying attention and didn't expect that one for a while yet, though Full Force has been reporting various Joe merch showing up at ports. Thanks for the heads up! Looks like the Dreadnoks will...

    Yeah, aside from the individual price drops, something weird happened with their pricing on Wave 2. A while back I had an excess of play money burning my wallet and was considering buying a pile of them with it. At the time I believe they were priced something like $55, $66 and $88 each for the...

    I have no point of reference for those guys but they look pretty cool. First impression from the pics is that they are a bit more OG (normal) proportioned vs. today's typical 'roided-hero proportioned figures. They definitely give upsized O-ring.

    GI Joe Comics Compendium (Marvel reprints) Kickstarter by Skybound

    I can't justify the cost myself, as my next big play purchase will likely be a DF (either a Haslab or a MTO if that happens). But I did pass the link along to my daughter who has more undesignated cash than the rest of us anyway (it's nice to have a job and live rent free... for now). She is...

    I agree. It might even cause them to go the safe route and make the rest of the missing OGs and some more proper retros ahead of anything else Neon Ninja Force.

    I don't know this guy, but if he's right, Lenny is leaving Hasbro for Boss Fight Studio. If true, I wonder what direction GCS will go under new management.

    Anybody still collecting SW on here?

    Admittedly, I'm not a SW collector, but for a while now I've wanted an accurate looking 6" Han Solo & Chewie to join Mando & Groku, Darth Vader, Captain America and Spidey as some of my favorite non-Joe, iconic movie character action figures for my desk at work. Finally having a few extra bucks...

    Those all look great! My favs are the Wolf (played the heck out of mine back in the day), that surprising Deep Six (who knew?) and the motor pool, featuring Clutch’s eye view of CG hard at work (nice!). It all looks legit, like straight out of ‘87, only larger and more posable!

    Huh, that does seem to be bucking the current trend a little for sure. That said, maybe they have been forced to acknowledge that they missed the primary sales window on these by over a year and that their appeal is very marginal, despite the inclusion of that... crate of reused weapons. Maybe...

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

    Yep, that was definitely some peak comic era action right there. Clever and pretty original compared to most, in addition to the artwork. As for the bright uniforms, the both make sense if you are hiding inside a fire, right? 😝 At least as a kid it made sense... Yeah, in addition to the...

    It took me quite a while to get BBQ because he remained rare enough as a Target exclusive that he didn't drop in price until well after the second one dropped. I wasn't ready to pay full price or more for a back row character at best. In my Joeverse he currently has nothing to do besides to...

    Ha, you just fully exposed how little I'm actually invested in either of them! I used "Marauders" when I meant "Renegades." And I had the Renegades 3-pack as a kid, and exactly zero Slaughter's Marauders. Wow, too many sub-teams... :rolleyes: Yeah, I still have zero interest in any "Mad...

    That's a welcome surprise! He's back up to $30 now :rolleyes: - gotta make up that lost profit on the late comers I guess. I had CL back as a kid, but he was never a big player in my adventures. Just a little too brightly colored for his role IMO, and now with that O-face... I'll still be on the...

    I received my Legacy SF Trooper this past week and opened him up today. Dang. Easily the best/most useful of the Anniversary/Legacy figs in my opinion. He looks pretty legit all kitted up and has quite a few options to build troops if anyone is so inclined. That would not be me at $43 a pop, but...

    If I do get one, I know I will have to hang it, and in so doing will have to supplant another large piece. Right now the most likely candidate is the 21st Super Cobra. And eventually I believe the Rattler will replace the BBI Apache for hanging spots above my desk. I've already asked my daughter...

    Now that I have a WB coming, I also ordered him an aviator (it's actually the tanker one, but looks more like a helo pilot's) helmet from Gridiron. I thought it was pretty smart when the later versions of 25th WB came with an actual helmet (undersized as it might have been) for when he's...

    Yep, got IG Destro/Despoiler and WB PO'ed on EE since I had a little play money and don't want to miss out on those. I've got no need for recycled Grunt and Techno-Viper, late to the party Ketchup & Mustard or the minor Marauders. I'm also not at all excited by any of the reveals - except maybe...
