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

    Sorry, Skull Buster is the figure I was thinking of. Grimskull is one of the Plague who looks like a Range Viper in the lore but the crappy figure looks nothing like him. Skull Buster is the Range Viper leader that was just a repaint.

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

    Many are speculating that these are the renders that would have been in the unreleased YoJoeJune video that got deleted because of the Legacy Policeman. It's weird that they made a "Grim Viper" when Grimskull is already a character from a repainted Range Viper. Why not just make that existing...

    Ace from Ramen Toy dropped into the chat on latest 3POA podcast saying they will work on the Mauler... and I assume that doesn't mean the limited tan Mobat. I think that repaint sold well enough to justify an actual mauler wannabe product. That makes me feel even better about scooping up the...

    DeepDiscount apparently has last year's SDCC Starduster figure in-stock for $36, and today is the last day for the "SUMMER" 15% discount code on in-stock stuff. So he can be had for $30+tax (free shipping). I snagged another one and threw in a Joe x TF Kup/Slaughter/Leatherneck collab on the...

    GI Joe General Discussion

    So far there's been zero indication that it was more than a one-off. But I'd gladly be in for a few more.... or just a line of figures. I love the figures.

    THIS right here. I know they've said over and over about world building, but there are limits to the things I want to happen in my fictional good vs evil battle. Maybe next year the hydrofoil will come with an unlock tier for a washer-dryer set... because even cobra troops need clean undies...

    Oh absolutely. As I said the other day, the data trend is not good for the Flint unlock. It'll fund, no doubt, but the tiers are going to need some juice... either from an announcement of more complementary snow stuff to come next year, or directly juice the campaign with a bonus Kwinn figure...

    I've never gotten what I thought to be substandard packaging from DD. Heck it's usually better than Amazon after they stick it in an envelope to be crushed. My only issue with DD was when they merely forgot to fill a PO and then gave me a ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ when I asked what was up. But I've never...

    I really considered just pitching his gear in the bin, but he has giant ball-joint studs on the side of his legs, so you can't display him without the ridiculous contraption. It's bad enough I bought him, but I did it twice! :poop: I'll end up cutting that junk off and making some kind of...

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

    A few weeks back, I picked up a second Metal Head on clearance to have one in the studio, finally got around to opening him up. Never had the ARAH version and really only got him because he was basically Destro's Scrap-Iron equivalent, and the IG forces are still pretty thin. I had truly...

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

    6100 backers so far... not horrible, but not great. It'll fund for sure, but I'm rather skeptical whether or not it'll hit all the tiers. Someone suggested that at SDCC they're likely to show off renders or name reveals for some 2026 snow themed stuff that might help juice sales. It's gonna...

    Who needs camo when you're making s'mores and skewering trout? But at least you have your ice cooler... stored directly beneath your TWIN 9.0L turbo diesel engines... :rolleyes:

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

    It's funny, you can practically predict what a Joe haslab will do based on the first day backers. Both HISS and Dragonfly ended the campaign with approx 2.8x what they did on the first day. Rattler was an outlier because the campaign started in the evening, and thus the first day was...

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

    While I'm not bowled over by the offering, I am a big fan of Flint and LJ, so that + fomo likely pushed me over the edge. AND I'm expecting a slew of other artic stuff to be coming next year if "weather" is the theme. There's a lot of characters from the toon and comic they could rerelease in...

    Super 7 GI Joe

    While I have *almost* as much disdain for Cobra La as Dan, I still couldn't resist THIS... o-ring "Once-A-Man" CoCo. This is the lane S7 should be running in, honestly. The spore-pod accessory is a nice touch. Now they need to work on the rest of Cold Slither and a bunch of new Marvel-based...

    I expect the stripped-down artic HISS repaint to be in the $200 range, no haslab, probably only including the driver, no electronics or extra armaments. It's tough to pin down a reasonable price on that repaint. If it's too cheap, haslab HISS backers will feel ripped off, but if it's too...

    I have to say, the promo video was hysterical. Few things are funnier than sarcastic CoCo. "You'll burn your retinas with all those lumens!" "Are they a fighting force, or a sporting goods catalog?!" If I had to guess, it sounds like Mark Hamill doing the voice... I definitely got notes of...

    Snowcat is as expected. Classic look, modular parts, can be converted to troop carrier. Lots of play features (camping stuff, cup holders, LED console, ski missiles, stowage, engine covers, loading ramp, LED exterior lights, etc) Included- Frostbite 1st unlock (10k) - arctic Lady Jaye 2nd...

    1:12 Action Force Kickstarter

    Yeah, the mags are small, but not to the point that it bothers me. I'm sure that was a decision to make them fit in the vests and such without being cumbersome. But overall, his weapons and blast effects are great, and they're substantially cheaper than the alternatives. That tin of guns he...
