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

    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.

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

    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...

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

    Soooo... HnR and Lifeline, finally opened them up. Long story short, they're pretty good with a few caveats. Hit-n-Run is definitely the better of the two. He was always one of my favorite later-80s ARAH figures. He had a tactical function that wasn't outlandish (or ninja-ish), his deco was...

    That's my assumption. I would wait for clearance on some of these... if I wanted them at all. Problem is, I can't see a scenario where I would ever use, display, or photograph the Dino-viper or Fortnite Cowboy. Who are these for... Who thinks they belong in a Joe universe... and who is willing...

    Damn, hasbro must feel extra confident about these new reveals... or they're going to soak the early adopters before they all hit clearance. Zanya with fisher-price chameleon is $60, and the new generic deluxe spec forces action soldier is $43 (these were $35 last year). And he looks like a...

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

    Yeah.... ooof. I can say with great honesty, I have never felt such apathy for a series of Classified releases. After buying Nemesis Enforcer and Pythona, I'll probably get a couple of royal guards, a Zanya, and an Airtight, but otherwise, this is a steaming pile of 'meh'. Dinosaurs? 90's...

    Amazon in-house delivery. Last friday they said it would be delivered monday. Then early in the week, they said my order was split due to supply chain issues. Then it was delayed until wednesday. Then thurs. Then friday... and it still didn't come. Now the app says Sunday... which better...

    That's good. AMZ still lists my NVs as coming the 26th. Maybe they'll adjust that forward. Only one of my HnRs have arrived. The others have been "Coming today" all week. Now I guess they'll be arriving tuesday. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Target has the Desert Scorpion 40% off, now less than a basic figure. I still can't pull the trigger, as I just can't see a scenario where I would need the guy, the scorpion, or the alternate Lenny face. Divers are on sale too...

    Anybody still collecting SW on here?

    Yeah, TVC pricing has gotten bonkers. They went from 8 to 10 to 13 to 16 to 20 in the blink of an eye. I only collect TVC OT figures anymore, and even those are mostly reissues and highly skippable. Sometimes they make a new head or do a new sculpt with ball hips that compels a purchase, but...

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

    Yeah, I hope it means more comic figures, but I kinda feel like this was a one-off due to it being revealed at a special Hama event... but that's just my guess. I'm torn, as I too am not a huge fan of the girl-SE storyline, but it's a nice looking figure, and the headsculpt is one of the best...

    Oh hell yeah. sunbow Daina, Chuckles, and comic Flash... and some bizarre blue Falcon repaint.
