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

    It seems that most people's POs got cancelled, so one has to imagine that these will be clogging displays very soon. I'm not even sure they'll be on pegs, but rather mid-aisle seasonal displays. I saw several red-white-blue themed setups in the main aisle in front of the toy section over the...

    Right on cue, WM canceled my 250th Duke. Ugh. Would have been nice, but no big loss. Maybe I'll stumble on one in the wild eventually.

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

    Yeah, he made a set of Top Gun pilot figures... but they were really expensive... hopefully because he was new to the figure game and was dealing in very small batches. I don't know anyone that actually bought them, so I can't speak to their quality. There's probably a review on the youtubes...

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

    Yeah, he's been teasing this for a while. I'm on the fence about it. On one hand, I need a Mauler and if he's sweetening the deal with a Heavy Metal figure, then it'll be hard to pass up. On the other hand, I went full-in on the MOBAT and all its attachments, and TBH, they were a letdown...

    Zanya shipping from AMZ (and according to reports, pulse as well). And WM charged me for 250th Duke, but no word on when it'll ship.

    Yeah, part of me agrees that buying a dead line feels weird, but on the other hand, you know it's finite and not going to drain your wallet for years to come. Despite the figure limitations, I don't even feel bad having paid msrp for them. They're so staggeringly toony and well sculpted, they...

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

    I think it's just that they pretty much all have coats/tunics that make the torsos look thicker. The under-bodies are pretty much the same as ML/Classified. Red Laser definitely has a big-looking o-ring-style head though. The basic trooper heads definitely are more simple-vintage-looking than...

    Got a whole box of Crimson Moon not-Red-Shadows figures today. They're pretty great once you get rid of all the werewolf parts and get the heads all swapped around to be the correct RS characters. I skipped Red Jackal's metal head because despite being a repaint originally back in the day, he...

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

    So, after Flash getting bumped for Mainframe at the end of '25 because of a need to cut budget and reuse parts (hence MF being confusingly forced onto the Short King Tunnel Rat buck), the assumption was that he was a lock for '26. But now bmac (effectively the new Lenny) reveals that Grand Slam...

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

    I had a weak moment impulse buy and picked up the Legacy Marine. I had seen where he has the right arms in the right color to correct retro Zap's lack of ribbed cuffs on his sleeves. It's a dumb reason to spend that much on a figure, but I assume that his gear will be useful (like you say...

    GI Joe Comics Compendium (Marvel reprints) Kickstarter by Skybound

    In case anyone has a tax refund burning a hole in their pocket, Skybound is doing HC compendiums in a boxset for the IDW portion of the ARAH comic run (#155.5 - 300)... and they're also re-offering the original Marvel run HC compendiums (1-155 + yearbooks and Special Missions) for anyone that...

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

    Yeah, a lot of panicking in Classified fandom today. Lenny leaving Hasbro for Boss Fight is wild, and the doomsayers are out in full force, even the guy at TFW that seems to have insider knowledge. He's quite the know-it-all, but he's right more often than not. He seems to think Lenny was the...

    Haha, it's just the angle of the photo. I originally used RnR arms, and those were rather huge, but I swapped to NF Falcon arms and they're much more reasonable.

    When they announced the greenshirt, my first thought was he was 90% of the way to a Sparks figure. Finally got around to finishing the mods.

    Anybody still collecting SW on here?

    Yeah, lack of a disney tax is the reason Joe exists. I think if they were as sparse and uninspired as SWB at the same price point, Classified would have died as a novelty release after the first two waves.

    Anybody still collecting SW on here?

    I've found that SWB are all tiny... by hasbro 1/12 standards. They're probably true 1/12 scale, but that's no bueno next to hasbro's other 6" lines. As for Chewy... yeah, I've always thought he was a little large in the version I have (early SWB) but I didn't buy the latest refreshes, so I...

    Approximately 8.3 gagillion hours went into printing them, but I'm pretty pleased with the results. It's all a learning curve, and I cringe at many of the mistakes I made, early on especially... but not enough to redo any project. Live and learn, tackle something new. Still have a mountain of...
