At least there was something, if nothing new and generally meh. I should like this QK better, right? He's all modernized and tactical... Nah. I was never a fan. To me, Bruce Lee wannabe is simply too bad at his core to ever be in my collection. If I ever somehow owned him back in the day (I...

If they can't use mainline arctic figures without turning them into some inferior (in this case) subgroup, I'd agree that a sort of cartoon/comic arctic mash up might be the best way to go. If they stuck to just the arctic outfitted characters from the cartoon (when the SC was featured - from...

I agree that both the lack of livestreams for YJ June as well as the whole over-sensitivity on the cop thing are disappointing, though not surprising. Hasbro is gonna be Hasbro I guess. It's just underwhelming after all the initial hoopla. I doubt I would be PO'ing anything else at this point...

So does anyone know if there is supposed to be a livestream today or not? As of now I've seen none of the usual leaks or any reference at all from my usual sources.

My closest Target and WM have generally carried CS and Retros, at least until recently. All that was left the last time I was at TG was a peg of ReAction+ Cover Girls. I got the impression that they had simply run out of their inventory of those, similarly to my WM. Both have removed the CS and...

I really don’t get why Target will not offer the retros on their website, like at all. Seems like a missed opportunity.

Well, I couldn't hold out. My resistance wore down and I ordered a Stinger from AMZ. I know it is highly unlikely that I would ever beat that kind of sale. Road Pig (the only other item currently on my "buy it if the price is right" list) is still holding steady, awaiting a sale or gift card, so...

Yeah, he's an odd bird, who isn't afraid to share his opinions. I thought his bit about an overnight "job opportunity" in LA was funny, as well as his inferring that those events might have something to do with the unannounced dropping of the cop PO. All conjecture, of course, since H'bro has...

:LOL:

Huh, maybe. I also don't have much use for one, but do know they'd be a lot better figs with long sleeves or easily swapped skin toned arms. I hope they didn't just bow to pushback with the crap happening in LA right now...

That seems to be the name of the game - get the best version you can justify for each character or piece that your want, and then make fixes as needed to make it the "ultimate," or at least satisfactory. I can't say I was expecting much from today's livestream, but I was hoping for something...

https://toynewsi.com/278-58315 So no livestream happened then? I guess maybe there simply wasn't enough new or interesting to warrant one. I did see the PO's pop up on WM.com this morning, with no pics and still sporting their code names, but those appear to be down now. Not sure what is...

I always considered the greenshirts the "probies" who where qualified to apply to be a Joe due to already being special operators or other rare specialists, but had to make their way through the approval process to be fully instated, at which time they would be allowed to ditch the greens and...

Pre-livestream official photo drop: https://toynewsi.com/278-58312 Meh. I don't expect to own any of these. I guess we'll see if there will be any cool surprise reveals to make it worth the watch.

Man, that‘s a great price! I wish I had room for it, but my display space is already filling up with just the figs (and one motorcycle) I have, and I’ve got a pile of PO’s coming this year to boot. Jeep-sized vehicles at that scale are just too large for me to collect.

I have been on the lookout for these at WM with zero success so far. I also have one in my cart on AMZ as a round up item to help get me to the magic $35 free shipping number, so I'll eventually have it. Like you mentioned, it should fit in nicely on my shelf at work with the other Joe mini...

It feels like Hama wanted to do more superhero stuff, but got hired to do the military comic due to the realism he could bring with his real world experience. He may well have considered the military as too mundane or even too unpleasant to keep kids interested so his solution was to focus most...

Hama always had an obsession with ninjas and way overpowered and overused them in the comics, to the detriment of the military elements. It was somewhat appropriate during the general ninja mania of the early 80's, but he seemed to lean in even as the rest of the world moved on. It's a little...

Overall, despite my not being overly impressed with most and definitely not PO'ing any of it, it was not a terrible start to YJ June, particularly if they are saving some of the better stuff for future drops. Should climax with the Haslab reveal and kick off. It'll be interesting to see how the...

Coverage of the livestream: https://toynewsi.com/278-58219 I can't see the full video yet because corporate reasons. From the pics though, nothing overly impressive with the reveals. Impressions: Cold Slither - still don't care AWE Striker - still don't like the changes, would like to get...
