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

    Yeah, I'll be getting those. I was never a huge IG Destro fan, but it's solid, and I'll find a use for him. The retros are good, will pick them up, but I don't know why they used the webgear with the crossbar for Grunt when Stalker's correct gear exists. Hasbro gonna hasbro...

    PO's go up for 250th Duke and DIRE Night Creepers this morning... "WM Con". A few pieces will be on pulse but will disappear within seconds during the Premium window. Or you can order at WM and flip a coin if your order will be randomly canceled down the road, only to have them hit clearance a...

    Yeah, it's easy to see it going either way. It could disappear, never to return like Serpentor and the Arctic BAT... and it could be $23 on black friday like a Trubble Bubble. The fact that it's not a pulse exclusive means that production numbers are likely higher than some, but probably...

    Zanya up for PO... and some other stuff I wasn't paying attention to. EDIT: Dino-Viper is also up... ugh. :sick:

    I like them just for the novelty of it. I think I would use them as comic relief. Who wouldn't love a Mustard-Viper?!

    Holy crap, we're getting a ketchup and mustard 2-pack!

    I've got to start taking some pics. In recent weeks, I've finished up building Classified versions of the Cobra Missile Command, my Cobra inspired variant of the Endor bunker, Tactical Battle Platform, Wolverine, Cobra WOLF, and I'm currently printing a STUN. I'm also working on a ton of dio...

    S7 is making a wave of reaction plus figures decorated like that. I have zero use for such a thing in my joe-world, but as a 250th anniversary novelty, maybe? I saw that article, and I found it ironic that a figure celebrating our independence was leaked by Pulse UK. Think the british will be...

    Exactly, so it's not just me. Lifeline has the same 25th diaper crotch. Beats me. Again, I'm hoping it's a poor attempt to make the pants look baggy and not the new norm across the board.

    Thanks! It took over a month to print, and several weekends to assemble.... not counting the time it took to recreate the entire sticker package in photoshop. It was a heck of a project.

    My other HnRs finally showed up, and NV is supposed to be delivered tomorrow from amazon... meaning it'll be next week.

    I ordered Airtight, Hydro, and Royal Guard. Airtight is the only one from today I care much about... not because he's a good character, but my internal completionist needs him to fill out the '85 shelf. And I have to say, it's a pretty solid looking figure, ignoring that he's highly...

    Well Sundown's card pretty much confirms that Headman and the headhunters are coming our way. It's definitely the 90s all over again.

    Forgive the crappy phone pics... I'll take some better ones with figures and proper lighting soon, but I just wanted to throw this out there. The pics don't do it justice. It's massive. Doesn't even fit on the table.

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

    I think the quality in general has always been ok, as I don't think I've broken anything (gummy weapons and overly tight joints are the worst offenders)... but some of the aesthetic and design choices are questionable. But to be fair, none of that is new. From the beginning, we've gotten gold...

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

    Soooo... HnR and Lifeline, finally opened them up. Long story short, they're pretty good with a few caveats. Hit-n-Run is definitely the better of the two. He was always one of my favorite later-80s ARAH figures. He had a tactical function that wasn't outlandish (or ninja-ish), his deco was...

    That's my assumption. I would wait for clearance on some of these... if I wanted them at all. Problem is, I can't see a scenario where I would ever use, display, or photograph the Dino-viper or Fortnite Cowboy. Who are these for... Who thinks they belong in a Joe universe... and who is willing...

    Damn, hasbro must feel extra confident about these new reveals... or they're going to soak the early adopters before they all hit clearance. Zanya with fisher-price chameleon is $60, and the new generic deluxe spec forces action soldier is $43 (these were $35 last year). And he looks like a...

    Yeah.... ooof. I can say with great honesty, I have never felt such apathy for a series of Classified releases. After buying Nemesis Enforcer and Pythona, I'll probably get a couple of royal guards, a Zanya, and an Airtight, but otherwise, this is a steaming pile of 'meh'. Dinosaurs? 90's...

    Amazon in-house delivery. Last friday they said it would be delivered monday. Then early in the week, they said my order was split due to supply chain issues. Then it was delayed until wednesday. Then thurs. Then friday... and it still didn't come. Now the app says Sunday... which better...
