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

    Not sure if it's true, but I read somewhere that back in the analog days, they actually painted over the originals for the characters that got Night Force and Tiger Force decos. So they might not have the proper original artwork... But S7 has proven time and again that it doesn't take a...

    Got retro Falcon today... he's a mixed bag. His head is probably better than the other two releases, but it's still not quite right. Not sure what it is about this character that gives them fits, but I don't suspect we'll be getting another Falcon anytime soon, if ever, so I guess this will...

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

    AMZ must be preparing for their semi-annual garbage garage sale... no Lara Croft, no retro Flash, no Dusty v3... all went from delivery expected yesterday to "we'll let you know when we have a ship date". WTH. Retro Falcon is in the wind supposedly coming today, and I did get the gurl...

    Dan, McFarlane figures are normally 7" scale, so she's look like an amazon... and probably come with less gear and less articulation. I would definitely not count on this being a retro LC alternative. But I do hope it makes the hasbro version more plentiful. VV, I agree with all of that. SW...

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

    I saw a review on the VAMP MkII, so I'll bet that it drops sooner than a month out. I'm guess 2-3 weeks, tops. I'm concerned about LC b/c on AMZ, it kinda came and went and is now listed as "We don't know when/if we'll ever get more stock". That's a bad sign. I fear we're going to get...

    No, no, not the sniper girl that gathered dust at Ollies... the Legacy action soldier dude in green camo (I forget his official designation). I skipped the gurl at $5, no way I'd pay $21 for that. But the green dude... I only had one of those, so a second one at half off seemed like a decent...

    Gonna be a busy Joe week... Today: retro She-Blueshirt, Red Shadows SNAKE... (plus discounted Action Marine at WM) Tomorrow: retro Falcon, retro Flash, Toxo-Viper, scruffy Duke Friday: Dusty v3 Lara Croft was listed as arriving today as late as this morning, then I got the dreaded, "We'll let...

    Had an appointment this morning, stopped by an out-of-the-way WM. They had the Legacy marine on clearance, $21. Sadly, they only had one left, but I snagged it. I'm kinda glad they didn't have a ton, or I'd have had a difficult decision. I read online that people are finding both the Marine...

    I think she looks about the same but definitely lost weight. I think she's far left in the second pic, thinner, darker hair, but that appears to be her. She definitely has the personality to thrive elsewhere. Her enthusiasm kinda reminds me of my sister, and I think that kind of personal...

    Emily downsized from Hasbro... It's a shame, as she actually seemed to care about the brand more than most, despite not being a life-long Joe fanatic.

    Super 7 GI Joe

    Yeah, I fully expect that there is no way we get classified Fatal Fluffies without S7 doing it first. I mean, who else was going to produce the blind woodsman with sled dogs or Ramar from the MASS mini? Who was going to make the terracotta warriors from the Pyramid of Darkness? Honestly, I...

    Mauler print plan... just so you can follow along. Treads and axles are done too, but I used the aux printer, so they're not in this slicer package. That 41hr section of hull always makes me nervous! In theory, if everything runs optimally without any failures, I can start assembling it on...

    Yeah, Super7 has gone kinda nuts with Ninja Force, Glow Patrol, and any other hokey repaints they can dream up.

    After playing with him a bit, Deep-Six is a bit "meh". He's a deluxe only because of his size, not due to a bunch of kit. Only accessories are the backpack (which 1000% could/should have been molded in place), a spear, two helmets, and the useless dead head. The only reason for the backpack...

    I was not at my regular WM, as it doesn't carry classified anymore. But my sister's family came to visit, and we all trekked out to the hibachi place for dinner. So I got to stop at a different WM. Go figure.

    Stumbled upon Deep-Six at the WM tonight. Very surprised. I'm still vexed by the weird dead-diver head! :LOL:

    GI Joe Ongoing Comic from Skybound

    I'm way behind, but I hope to get caught up this fall. Just seems like I have too many other things going on to find reading time!

    I did not have one as a kid, but I always wanted one. I only got a MOBAT after I bought it second-hand from a buddy that lost interest in Joe. I had a ton of Joe stuff, but for some reason the tanks eluded me. That tanks both confused me how they could operate with just one driver. How does...

    Secondary printer was free and is already printing bogey wheels... ;) I'll probably finish printing the woodlands Mauler early next week. But I hadn't decided what should come next, so I'll run another Mauler through first. The aux printer can churn out wheels, axles, and treads in the...
