    Here's a better look... definitely larger. Phew.

    Super 7 GI Joe

    One more... I can't tell from the pic, but I hope Ramar and the FF's are a bit larger than standard reaction... while I fear they aren't. It'd be strange to have a giant barbarian or huge gremlin monster eye-to-eye with Tripwire. :cautious: Just eyeballing a quick comparison, it looks like...

    Super 7 GI Joe

    Not gonna lie, I'm excited about these. The first wave was a pleasant surprise with how much I enjoyed their toony 80's-ness.

    Hasbro gets the master license for The Ghostbusters

    I agree the $10 barrier was tough... a decade ago. But with 6" figure being $25 minimum, $11-12 for a well-equipped 4" doesn't seem ridiculous anymore to me. I agree $20 o-rings are a hard sell, but if they can make a profit @ $11, why wouldn't they try $12-$15 o-ring Joes? I suspect the...

    Hasbro gets the master license for The Ghostbusters

    So I finally got around to opening the GB o-ring 4-pack, and I have to say, it's pretty neat. I was never a huge GB fan. I saw the movie mutable times as a kid and enjoyed it, but I was never into the cartoon or toys... they felt aimed at younger kids, and I was too cool for that. And Slimer...

    Good call. Although I read somewhere that since it doesn't use the same buck, the head isn't compatible with the v1 Falcon neck. Might have to transplant the neck too... or do some other neckball voodoo. I'm game to take a gamble though.

    I think the green protos of retro CG are probably not that far off, as I assume it'll be a toon deco... more green, less brown, to go with the long blonde hair. I used a ML black widow head on my brown CG, and she looks pretty awesome IMO, but I almost consider the long blonde version and the...

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

    The BAT has yellow (not orange) gear and a red faceplate. That's enough upgrade for me. I think the hatless covergirl looks 1000% better than the first release, and Flint is the version we should have gotten from the beginning. He's sublime. Televiper looks uber-retro, and I'll need a couple...

    Been on a NewAge legends TF binge since september (more on that later)... then while in south TX, I had a chance to play with them in the dirt.

    They had Night Creepers down to $17 this morning but sold out pretty quickly.

    G.I. Kre-O, Kre-O, MegaBloks CoD and LEGO discussions

    I couldn't help myself, once again doom-scrolling through Aliexpress: Almost 1800pcs, $56 + free shipping. That would be a $200 set from Lego or Mega. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807730840618.html And I also snagged this one... if the white colors are close, I might transplant the...

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

    I love making "ultimate" versions with gridiron kits, but those almost always cost more than the figure itself. Vala gear is FAR more reasonable, but it's all pretty generic, nothing character specific. I keep thinking some of this stuff will end up in for sale in 3d-printer format so I can...

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

    I'd buy another NF Falcon Quarrel set at half price just for the head. Of course, that would almost certainly occur the day before they announce a retro Falcon with the new and improved head. :LOL:

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

    Yeah, most stuff goes on sale eventually, but enough stuff sells through completely that fans on the fence about a product often don't want to take a chance as missing out. And when stuff does go on sale, most of it goes on "regular sale" not "clearance blowout sale". Only a few duds get to...

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

    Shooter is the worst. I tried to make a NF lady Jaye out of her, but the lower legs aren't the same, so the peg and length below the boot/calf cut isn't the same. Might just have to dye some clearance LJ legs. Some of those WM deals are good, but I just don't need any more of those figs, and...

    100%. Lowball became the only viable option. But I'm sure that hurt sellers and listings, thus making the whole thing spiral.

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

    I got that email too. I'm sure they saw sales fall off a cliff. Every time I went to buy something and it was $16, the total would be $31 after all the shipping fees, buyer fees, processing fees, fee collection fees, tax, tax processing fees, etc. It got to the point that I had to be really...

    Takara Transformers

    My BBTS shipment arrived, and I unboxed FT Outrider (Trailbreaker) and XTB Fury (Runabout). Outrider is impressive. He's large, heavy, lots of diecast, and is super-clean. No visible kibble, practically no backpack. compared to the XTB Trailbreaker on my shelf that Outrider is replacing...
