    1:12 Action Force Kickstarter

    I think the line of customizable thugs will be incredibly useful to many flavor of collectors... Joe, ML, and other more niche lines. And while I'm not a wwii buff, not sure I can resist having a squad of Germans to kick around. Only downside will be that they'll be far too tall for the 6"...

    1:12 Action Force Kickstarter

    This really belongs in the Classified section at this point, as that's how they'll be used by 99% of buyers, but... civilians! Or thugs, henchman, narcos, gang-bangers, or random bystanders. MSRP is "$24.99 or less". But I think this is cool. I've always thought someone should do this. He...

    GI Joe Ongoing Comic from Skybound

    Just announced today, Kirkman himself is going to be writing the TF comic starting with issue #25. As good as the current series is, it will likely even be better. Void Rivals that he is currently writing is fantastic, and both of his previous major properties, Invincible and Walking Dead...

    My other Dial-Tones arrived from Pulse... only five months after the first one from Amazon. :rolleyes: I got a "shipping soon" notice from Pulse on the Snake Armor... but deep in the text of the email, it says the estimated ship date is 9/1/25... so it's hard to know what's going on.

    Yeah, that's not even subtle... Kinda bummed, as I still had a sliver of hope that we'd be getting a tank instead. I guess I'll just have to hang my hopes on the figures being good enough to carry the SnowCat.

    GI Joe Ongoing Comic from Skybound

    Finally found time to work on my massive comic reading backlog, and I decided to start with the Energon Universe. I read the first 18 issues of Void Rivals, the first 18 issues of Transformers, and the four 5-issue Joe miniseries (Duke, CoCo, Scarlett, and Destro). I have to say, they all...

    Excluding the shitty SE movie figs, there have been no Classified figs that made it to my Ollie's other than the Dusty, Zarana, CG wave. And the CGs lasted all of two seconds. I managed to buy Zarana and a few cheap Dustys, but I don't expect to ever see mainline Joes there, even the duds. They...

    I won't be near an Ollie's for another 2-3 weeks, but I'll definitely have to drop in and see if anything good slipped in.

    While there are more X-Men figures I'd like to see made in Legends, it wouldn't make me sad if Hasbro dropped the Disney/Lucas licenses completely. I feel like they're dragging hasbro down at this point. I mean, how much better would classified be if it didn't have to worry about...

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

    I know my ML buying has fallen off a cliff.... for multiple reasons. 1) I used to buy a lot for custom fodder... but with Joe being the intended target of 75% of said customs, I really don't need much fodder, especially with the rise of 3d printed heads for the customs I still do. 2) the body...

    I honestly have to say, looking at my shelves, the line has gotten WAY further than I ever would have predicted. when you look at what we lack, it's impressive how few holes still remain from the "glory years". '82: (announced) Flash, Col Hawk. (missing) Grand Slam, Short Fuse, Zap, Steeler...

    Opening the new stuff.. first impressions... Darklon: - On the surface, incredibly stupid figure. Even in the packaging, looks like a waste of money. And then in-hand, he's actually fun. - His gun looks cool, despite being a PITA to get him to hold it - required a heat gun and something to...

    Well, yeah, I don't know how much of this was planned and in process before the trade wars. So it remains to be seen if we'll be getting much more. Fingers crossed. These new figs give me hope at least that RA+ has killed the 5POA line. Those were a hard pass, no matter how much I wanted...

    Oh, I absolutely think the video was made using the original video as reference (thus the mouth movements being... mere suggestions) and then the original audio was laid over the various scenes. I'm sure the better video models recently showcased could do a much better job. Clearly this...

    I saw this today... kinda funny. Mostly it gives me hope that we might see AI produce some new sunbow-esque cartoons one of these days. That would be awesome. AI could even recreate the mostly-long-gone voices. Imagine new cartoons with Chris Latta CoCo... they'll just all have to come...

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

    Part of the issue is that it's rare for home-use printers to be able to print something as large as a legit 1/12 WHALE base or upper body, so it would have to be done in sections, adding to the complexity and diminishing the looks with unnatural panel lines. I suspect that's why his Skyhawk is...
