That's funny, I had the exact opposite reaction. I was wishing they made her bustier and gave her red round little sunglasses, as the modern game look is too tame and generic for my tastes. My roomie and I played the heck out of TR I, II, and III back in the late 90s. Lara doesn't look right...

Ordered Flash, Falcon, and She-Blueshirt from AMZ today. That Flash looks stellar. I so feared they would find a way to Lenny him up, but other than the lower part of the pants being pseudo-shin guards, he's nearly perfect.

Nice, I'll likely cancel my pulse order too. Might as well get 5% back from amazon.

Yeah, I didn't know she was going up today, and for some reason I thought she was a Pulse exclusive (she's clearly not). I just happened to be at my desk when the email from Pulse came through just after five o'clock, and I snagged three of them... two for me, one for my college roommate who...

Movie retros... we're already getting Falcon this year. Chuckles seems like a lock for retro '27... and Serpentor is almost a sure thing.... and a better v2 Roadblock seems likely. But that's only three. I'm guessing USA Sarge will get released in the last wave after everyone buys the TTT...

I saw the RV listing next to Psyche-Out on HP this morning, but I didn't pay much attention to it. I got my small 3-man squad RV allotment in the first go-round. He's a "not bad" figure, definitely above average for the 90s, but I'm surprised he got a rerelease. The Big Ben pics are likely...

I have two of the regular SNAKE (and a pair of the S7 classic SNAKE), but I don't have much use for a red version... you know how I feel about rando crimson repaints. The twins get crimson guardsmen, that's it. Lawyers and accountants with secret red outfits in their closets don't need...

HAHAHAHAHAHA, that is so fugly. I wasn't buying one no matter what, b/c stupid concept, but if I were a big fan of the original, I'd be pissed. That was clearly done by the same half-wit that designed the fugly AWE Striker.

Done. Thanks, Boss.

Yeah, the base Dusty figure was pretty meh. If only he'd had some kneepads! :rolleyes: However, I modified mine substantially too. He got the gridiron kit with a much better helmet, helmet skirt, gun, and backpack. I also redid the paint on his face (using a clean tigerforce Dusty head) and...

Kneepads are practical, and I understand including them when they "modern update" character decos... although I think they ruin the nostalgia-factor aesthetics to a degree. Same with the plate carriers and other tactical vests... practical but too "COD:Modern Warfare" for my taste. But the...

Yeah, I get all of that... but does it have to look so... "Starship Troopers"? I mean, the whole line seem captive to one former employee's highly skewed vision of "kewl". It's truly maddening. I think of Joe as fictional-Delta, a very specialized rapid response team, not an entire military...

The kneepads and shinguards... Ugh... they all look like edgelord soccer players. For the love of pete, WHY?! WHY DO THEY THINK THIS IS WHAT SOLDIERS WOULD WEAR?! I asked AI if this was normal: "No, elite military operators (like Green Berets or Navy SEALs) do not typically wear hard-shell...

ARAH #330 Second Print cover:

Dan, if you need another IG BAT, this guy has one on the cheap, complete, $18 shipped. https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/chls-going-out-of-business-sale-thread.1271021/#post-22906721 I've bought from him before, solid guy liquidating his collection to cover medical bills.

WHAT?! Don't go deleting any of my photos... someone might want to see them 13 years from now!

Probably because it's a 13 year old post, and his photo links are broken? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ This is a good example why it's better to embed the photos rather than just linking to them.

So apparently, the Classified Tomb Raider is a bigger crossover than just a figure. It seems she makes a cameo in the Hama ARAH series, and they just announced a crossover comic starting in Oct. Not sure if it's a one-shot or a mini, but if I had to guess, these types of crossovers are usually...

FYI, I haven't forgotten about your MIM-23's or the exhaust project... just got sidetracked for a bit. I'll try to get back on that in the next week or two.

Very cool. Mine is supposed to arrive tomorrow, but I'm having it delayed to monday b/c I think I'm closing the office tomorrow... because 'Murica. I have fond memories of this guy, especially the classic Cobra Civil War era of the comics. It really feels like when Destro became his own...
