Maybe you could make a buttload of lego bricks and assemble them into multi-green digital camo bunker walls. :thumbsup:

Just a heads up: Apparently this Pulse exclusive set is showing up at Burlington stores for $13 in case you need any (wildly colored) parts from the repaints: G.I. Joe Classified Series #141, Steel Corps Commander Vs. Twilight Guard Color me shocked that this set didn't sell well at their...

Ah, that makes sense. Sounds like Hasbro won't be replacing their normal methods with it any time soon then, and certainly not until the process can be sped up by a lot. And it sounds like errors become unrecyclable waste. I can see why Gridiron has such long lead times for complex items, and...

Ok. So there really isn’t a way to mix the colors into the print itself then? I was wondering if it was a potential shortcut or not.

That's disappointing. At least the missile looks good outside the shade variance. Seeing that tiny missile blast/smoke trail makes me curious, is 3D printing an option to make copies of the larger missile trails that came with the Rattler, or is that too complex of a shape? Is orange a color...

Are 3DPs generally considered finicky and demanding to keep up and running?

Funny you should mention the rotation of the mounts. I was thinking you’d have to go that route. At least it will match the mounting on the actual Hawk system. I’d say that their mounting the missiles parallel to the fins back in the day led to that funky extension arm that people get wrong half...

Now that looks more like it!

WM has $5 Jodie Shooters right now, in case she has something to offer as spare parts. I added one to a pick up order, because cheap. I might try her head on an ethnic 60th Marine to see if it makes for a better version.

I finally found the time to assemble the MMS and extract Hawk from his box. I have to admit that I’m actually pretty underwhelmed by it. Hawk doesn’t look quite as good in person as in the glamour shots, but he’s probably about as good as I could imagine, modernized while remaining relatively...

And... I made the mistake of continuing to check AMZ for deals, and (naturally) now they have a 30% coupon on the MMS that would have saved me another $20 were it available back when I bought. While theoretically I could still cancel my MMS since it hasn't shipped yet, doing so would trigger...

Love the pic! I hear you man. Sucks getting old and all those ignored and forgotten injuries we shrugged off come back to bite us. Mine's been a neck/shoulder from some 15 years ago that has decided to remind me of my broken, aging structure by shooting pain down into my arm when I turn/stretch...

Wow! Totally looks to have been worth the effort though! The nostalgia buzz is strong with that one! Is it actually scaled a little larger than the original was to the 3.75" figs? Steeler looks a little smaller in it than I remember from 40+ years ago. Haslab missed the boat not making one of...

I got my Hawk/MMS ordered from AMZ. I tacked on a retro Recondo. Both were below retail, maybe not as low as I’d prefer, but it was all paid in play money anyway, so no real complaints. Now I’m just looking for one more MOC retro to finish out my “wallpaper” on the top two tiers of my newly...

And… the predictable arctic repaints… https://toynewsi.com/278-61136 Cute… but pass.

Sounds like a lot of work, but at least we live in a time where projects like that can be done from home and don‘t require an expensive contract with a print shop. Heck, the 3D printing alone is a massive game changer for the CS line! I know when I watched the video of the guy finishing out the...

TTBP? Wow! That’s ambitious! And it must be huge! ‘Been watching a guy on YT that did a pretty cool Tomahawk and now he’s working on a Night Raven. Those are definitely going to need to be hung or will demand some serious shelf space! How do you plan to display the BP?

Man, it's been mighty quiet around here! Busy time of the year for everything but Joe collecting I guess, and the CS has pretty well peaked out until April or May, at least according to the next expected drop dates. In the past week I have taken delivery of WS, the other divers and Sci-Fi, as...

They certainly look it from what I've seen as well. You gotta wonder why Lenny and co. all the sudden decided to make that same cartoon SE since CS really doesn't suit it like the S7 line does. Similarly with all the MASS figs. It's like they felt threatened and just wanted to end the already...

Yeah, I wouldn't be displaying them alongside the CS like the retro cards, and likely wouldn't even remove them from the boxes unless I got a wild hair and decided to start up a whole new display area. But that seems unlikely, knowing there will never be more than 20 or so (at least that I'd be...
