I agree about the truck mods and some of the stranger add-on accessories (hard pass on the weird mech stuff). But I actually like the ice-vehicle application of the AWE body, but mostly because it marginally looks like an actual ARAH vehicle. Arctic Blast... paint the gridiron tube frame...

I know he's wearing a basketball jersey, but wth is wrong with hasbro? Not counting real-world Fridge, there are two figures that wear sports jerseys out of hundreds of soldiers, and they're both red and both #14. Bazooka should sue. ---------- Also, interesting new offering from Gridiron...

Nothing wrong with FN SE... I just passed b/c he didn't really do anything for me that the original few releases of that mold didn't do. I would only roll my eyes at Butterscotch SE :LOL: Edit: DD having another coupon code "TREAT" for in-stock. Noteworthy is MMS with Hawk is in stock, and...

Retro troopers on sale for Prime day. I couldn't pass up a couple more Vipers @ $17/ea. They're so much better than the first classified version. I think I have enough Snow Serpents, Eels, and blueshirts... but we'll see if my resolve holds throughout the day :LOL:

Yeah, I can't say I'd have chosen the Hiss Driver as the mold to use for this guy, but I'm not as huge of a fan of NV as some, so I'm not inclined to worry about it much either way. He has a wild cult status among certain fans, and some of them will certainly hate that choice. I had one as a...

MASS diver 2-pack is ready to ship from Target and is eligible for the $10 off $40 (or $20 off $75) promo. G.I. Joe Classified Series #169, G.I. Joe Diver Vs. Cobra Diver Action Figure : Target

I don't mind a *smattering* of the weird sci-fi, but it's definitely not my preferred part of the lore. I don't mind picking up a small group of CobraLa main cast, but I've got my own headcanon about how they fit... and CoCo is not "one of them". In my head, even my OnceAMan CoCo is just a...

I agree he was never my favorite, but mostly because of my '86 unified replacement theory... doc >>> lifeline. And because he was a wuss in the cartoon. But I'm in for basically any '82-'87 character that isn't Big Lob (now *heavily* rumored to be the 5th figure in this wave).

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.
