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

    And that's why I'll be getting them in spite of the goofy color schemes. While I know they screwed the colors on purpose, who knows if they'll ever get around to the correct ones. So at least I'll have a base to start from, as well as all the gear. Stalker is a good fodder figure, not only...

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

    FYI, BBTS has Stingers on sale for $50. That feels crazy-cheap. EDIT: and Scrap-Iron for $23... also the cheapest I've seen. EDIT2: and I failed to mention DD's latest coupon, "LEAVES" for 15% off in-stock. They don't have much new, but I did grab a couple of retro Stalkers for fodder, as...

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

    I love the fact that they're doing Short-Fuse and Steeler (despite the crappy reality that tanks are not kewl enough... for a military unit?). But I'm genuinely perplexed at the color choices. Steeler is far too dark (i.e about the color scheme SF *should* be), while SF has a two-tone color...

    I couldn't stand it, had to take some pics... New guys are definitely taller... but clearly BACC (not pictured) didn't get the memo. I just put him next to Serpentor, and Serpy d-w-a-r-f-s him... and this is a guy in an IronMan suit. When they redo BACC, he'll definitely need to be bulkier...

    I just put MW on my shelf at home... and DAYYYUM, he's tall. He's the same height as RoadPig, a heavy 1/4" taller than all the other "regular" dreadnoks. He makes Buzzer look like a middle-schooler. Not sure if they're just going for height variation to be interesting or if this is a broader...

    Agreed, it'll be Q1 before my Ollie's ever gets any, and the good ones will go in seconds. There will be nothing left but the girl sniper, and she's not even worth $13.

    Anybody still collecting SW on here?

    Hahahaha, days after the end of the campaign, hasbro magically added a bunch of orders to the tally that unlocked the first tier. Funny how that works... days later. They are worse at counting than Dominion voting machines, and I suspect, just as crooked.

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

    Got around to opening BACC and Monkewrench last night... BACC is just not what I hoped for. The armor isn't as big, angular, or aggressive looking compared to the ARAH figure. He looks more like he stole the suit from Ironman. To me, he's a big dud. I look forward to a second sculpt that is...

    The black televiper forearms really ruin it. I'm not saying I wouldn't pick one up on clearance for fodder, but if they want it to be race-ambiguous, give him Stalker's sleeves or something. Jet-black bare arms is beyond bizarre as a design choice.

    Got Monkeywrench and the FansHobby Not-AWE Striker today. Gotta find some time to open stuff... Rattler too!

    Anybody still collecting SW on here?

    Wow, I'm genuinely stunned. This thing wasn't even halfway with 10 days to go, was 2500 away yesterday, and interest seemed to be zero. I was expecting it to go backwards today. It makes me question whether they juiced the numbers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Now every new Joe will have Boston as a hometown instead of RI. Barbecue will have some wicked cool fellow townies to hang with.

    Agreed. That's why they put him on the box! ...and this cover, a personal fav:

    I'll post some better pics once I get some time in the photo studio, but I just had to snap a crappy phone pic of this weekend project.

    Inflation and tariffs are worse than I thought. I can only imagine what the "Fall Geek-Out" Joe offering will cost in a week or two.

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

    Can't say I'm surprised, but it kinda sucks. I've already essentially quit buying Black Series, and my Marvel Legends purchases have slowed to a trickle compared to years past. But I'm bummed that it's coming to Joe too. Requiring Joe to match BS & ML price points always feels artificial...

    Nothing wrong with that. I always liked Breaker a little extra because he is from Gatlinburg. It was a nice little touch they added to the file cards. The only thing that bugged me was the staggering number of Joes from RI. I know that was Hasbro's corporate location, but it felt a little...

    As much as I kinda like the FH Skyhawk's winged configuration, it just wasn't classic enough for me, so I had to do the conversion. It almost looked weird in the ARAH configuration at first, but I'm glad I did it. Word of warning, getting the engine connection covers on there is brutal, as...

    Happy 15th Anniversary! Officer Drive'ish Thing

    S-M-R-T I would figure a guy that does that much foreign travel would have an ExpressVPN subscription so you didn't have to worry about such things.
