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

    Hahaha, I did not see that coming. Not even a little bit! I like the creativity... but I actually WANT my Raptor to be a nutjob accountant in a bird suit, not Temu™ Vulture. In my head, he shouldn't be formidable any more than Crystal Ball should. Sometimes, your terrorist group just needs...

    Super 7 GI Joe

    Despite how much I find the idea of normal 5 PoA Joes to be an abomination, I broke my boycott of regular ReAction figures b/c amazon put the "Arctic Rescue Vehicle" (aka, the Blind Woodsman with sled and sled-dogs) at its lowest price ever ($38), and I had gift cards to blow. I convinced...

    Not my customs

    Yeah, the butts on the floor jumped out at me too. :cautious: But I'm sure in the right environment with the right lighting, etc, it would be an impressive project.

    Not my customs

    Sure, I'm not knocking his hobby. But I would have more respect for the project if the rest of the house didn't look like it had just survived a major flood or whatever is going on with those door frames. It seems like someone let everything else go in order to make this thing. It would be a...

    Not my customs

    Hahaha, it's both cool and sad. Once again, I imagine what this guy's now-ex-wife tells her new boyfriend about him.

    Because sometimes, you just can't wait for Mattel to get on with it... Prowl, Sideswipe, and Sunstreaker all have custom wheels that I 3d printed and chromed myself. Pretty happy with the results.

    The higher prices go, the pickier I get. 15 years ago, I'd buy nearly every ML they put out... and then the price hikes and movie figs I didn't care about all showed up at once. Every year, I buy less and less ML to the point I'm only getting occasional X-Men at MSRP. Even BAFs, I wait for...

    Crystal Ball... baffles me, as anyone who collected Joe in 1987 could tell you that CB was the *ULTIMATE* peg-warmer. He, along with Psyche-Out and Sneek-peek, would clog toys aisles for almost a full year. I can't recall the number of times that I went to toy stores only to see the same old...

    Of course, but that doesn't change the fact that the original designs are now cemented in our brains as the template for how these characters *should* generally look. Stay-Puff Flash, if that's the direction they go, just isn't going to look right.

    I've never seen another 1/12 MASS device, and VI has used my pics in several of their videos when they discuss the possibilities. I can't blame them... it looks cool (!)... and they're right, it's completely impractical as a haslab. It's an awesome dio set piece, but it doesn't have enough...

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

    Did you notice that when they were debunking any rumors about a Haslab MASS device, they kept showing my custom build?! :LOL: I'm excited about Flash, thrilled he's coming in '25 (as expected). What I'm not thrilled about is reusing the Tripwire mold with extra thick gear/padding... assuming...

    Nice, grabbed another Airborne for a custom and another 60th Halo Jumper just because.

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

    Yeah, supposedly the focus-group Snowcat was quite a bit larger-scale than the original, so that's why it jumped from mid-size vehicle into haslab territory. And the concept for the HAVOC supposedly removed the lawnchair on top and the glass coffin up front, so it's heavily...

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

    Eh, those are a very mixed bag. I'll take a Mauler all day long. Never had the original, but I always wanted one. I wouldn't mind a Snowcat, but there are just several ground vehicles I would prefer first. HAVOC.... is the dumbest Joe vehicle this side the Tank Car. You look at '85...

    I have no clue what's real and what is wish fulfillment. The fact that there are only 2 O13 members on that massive list makes me want to call bullshit... as we've been told we're getting three this year beyond retro RnR and new Breaker. But I'm sure part of it is true, either because they...

    Oh, I fully expect the tariffs to make the short-term somewhat painful for traditionally cheap chinese plastic. But I'm more than willing to pay that price for the benefit it should bring to the economy/manufacturing/job-market. Any kind of sudden market changes will have some growing pains...

    The naming came from hasbro's internal codenames. That whole wave had Simpsons code names. One of the upcoming waves has names of characters from The Tick. It's just weird that AMZ didn't update the listing to the actual product name like they do every other figure. That's why he was...
