Just looking at Crankcase, to be "correct", he's going to need his helmet painted grey (I'm irritated they gave him the stock helmet rather than his unique original) and some Grunt webgear... and his stock webgear is perfect for my greenshirt-Sparks LBC. It all works out.

I never considered that. Corporate stooges are such pansies, I wouldn't be surprised now that you say it. Now I want a Legacy ICE agent and Legacy Border Patrol. ;)

Apparently the cop was pulled at the last minute from distributor's PO lists. Hopefully they saw all the feedback about the black arms. It's not a bad figure otherwise. If they fixed it and the price got off of "deluxe" and down to "normal" I'd be tempted to get one or two even if I don't...

I ordered my BATs and Greenshirts (split between HP and AMZ)... and despite my better judgement, I ordered the AWE Striker (Pulse Excl). Skipped Sarge and Mercer b/c I'm just not that interested in either. No sign of the cop, but I was skipping it anyway. I still H-A-T-E the tiny front wheels...

I'll get a retro BAT for the carded collection... not sure I'll get more though, I'm on the fence. I have no need for Greenshirts (I always thought that was a dumb concept... either you're in Joe, or you're not.) Who are these nameless people, and what are they good for in an elite unit...

Got the first two Auldey AAE-S premium versions in today. They really are premium, from the paint to the eight (8!) sets of hands to the extra accessories and stands... they're noticeably slicker than the basics. The paint really helps tighten up the joints too.

Amazon has the Stinger down to $69 for a limited time... Cobra Stinger 4WD

I got mine for $4/ea at JCarDiecast, but they're sold out now (that's probably why). Of course, they didn't have free shipping, but even paying for postage, they only averaged about $6/ea. The last Premiums I bought at WM a few weeks ago were nearly $9. I almost fainted when I got home and...

Hot Wheels premium Skystriker. The scale is... tiny? These will probably work well with that Jada 3-pack of tiny, not-quite-micro-machines GIJoe diecast vehicles (HISS, SnowCat, VAMP MkII). Sadly, I suspect this is a one-off since they'd already done the tooling for a Top Gun tomcat a couple...

Found it. Posted in the Officer Area: (1) Joe Origin Article | The Fighting 1:18th I now want figures of Lilah, Spook, and Louie Louie!

It's my understanding that Hama's vision of Joe is a nearly 1-to-1 adaptation of a rejected pitch he made in the 70's for a SHIELD comic with Hydra as the main antagonist. Once you view it through that lens, it's pretty easy to see where all the sci-fi elements of his run originated. And if...

I'm surprised that Hama leaned into the ninja stuff so hard given his actual military background. Like you said, it made sense to give it some focus during the 80's ninja craze, but this isn't a group of superheroes or guys hopping around in halloween costumes. They're still supposed to be...

Yeah, I had given up on the comic by then, and guys running around in their neon jammies didn't make me think I was missing anything. 30min into the Pulse PO, MMS is sold out, plenty of Budo and Slice/Dice available. Hopefully Hasbro gets the memo that some of this stuff is too niche even for...

Desert Scorpion is a 90's trooper. According to the file card, it's where they demote crappy Vipers to. So they have to live hard to survive, and if they continue to screw up, they get further demoted to Toxo-Vipers, not a place anyone wants to be. Looks like a figure designed with the AI...

YoJoe June Fanstream details: Name Only: - Steel Corps Sentry w/ Defense Post - Desert Scorpion Digital Renders: - AWE Striker (revealed... again?... still ugly w/ absurdly tiny front tires) - Legacy Police Officer (nice enough, but do we need rando cops?) - Sgt Slaughter (desert camo) and...

Loving Hawk... despite the fact that I'll immediately change out the vest for a Stalker harness and my grand plan for an upgraded classic missile design. Budo.... still a hard pass.

I do want a CS set... but I also won't cry myself to sleep if I'm unable to obtain one. It's very episode specific and not critical to my collection. But I do agree that quite frankly, this is 100% the kind of thing we should see as con exclusives, not Slaughter or Mindbender like in years...

I like that the carbots are a bit larger than some lines make them. MP scale always makes them waist-high on Prime, which instinctively feels far too small, even if it's probably more accurate given their respective alt modes. But my head cannon is inextricably tied to the toys and toon, where...

Got a sealed case of Auldey W1 today (finally!). Got one of each, all regulars to go with the chase figures above. I wasn't sure if the figures were really "random" or not, but I'm glad to see they're one-per-case and I didn't end up with three Soundwaves or something like that. They look...

That's a great set. Haven't opened it yet... not sure I'm going to, but the Zahn books are what brought me back to the franchise in the 90s.
