    Super 7 GI Joe

    Are they high? Yes. But the fact that the o-rings cost the same as a 5PoA ReAction is pretty surprising. I think S7 knows they have a price problem. They can't make an o-ring figure cost the same as a classified figure, but they also can't make them cheaper than their gimpy kenner-esque...

    I mean, LOOK at that... if it doesn't stir up the feels, there is no hope. MOGA - Make O-ring Great Again! :LOL:

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

    I didn't have a stroke... I did unbox my dragonfly eventually. It's yuuuuuuge. Actually, it's not much larger than the BBi helos, but the canopy is larger and the weapon systems are absolutely massive. It's clearly "joe scale", but I really like it, even if I don't know where it's going to...

    It's not worth it... but I bought one anyway... because I'm a sucker for the figures. :grumpy:

    Mega Bloks Militia

    My enthusiasm has turned to disappointment. Upon closer examination, the HISS is stupid-small. The Kre-O HISS was too small for mega figures, and it was 21 studs long. This HISS looks to be 15 studs long, a full 30% smaller than the Kre-O. It's chibi nonsense. :mad: If it weren't for the...

    Mega Bloks Militia

    IT'S HAPPENING!!!!! Goes on sale on November 15th at 12 pm EDT only on MattelCreations... $81. The vehicle scale is a bit small, and the HISS tank gives me Kre-O vibes, so that's not ideal. Definitely like my custom HISS tanks better in that regard, as they're nearly as large as the OG...

    Super 7 GI Joe

    Ramar is the huge conan-looking guy in the bondage gear (voiced by Peter Cullen) that Duke fights in the "Arena of Sport" during the MASS device mini. Fatal Fluffies are the Gremlins-ripoff monsters in the Pyramid of Darkness mini that the Dreadnoks unleash on the Joes up on the space station.

    I got the first wave of ReAction+ a couple of weeks ago, and I cannot overstate the toony nostalgia rush they induced. I want to pump it into my veins. Having them in-hand was very different than looking at pics on the interwebs. Still fighting the urge to collect a MOC set. Sure, the twins'...

    Without shipping notice or tracking info, my Dragonfly magically appeared this morning. I'll bust it open tonight and snap some pics.

    Those pics made me realize it's just black snowjob, and there might be some potential for a Marvel issue#2 Snake Eyes custom. I know his parka was technically dark blue, but so was SE because they can't render black detail in CMYK printing. So I might get one to try that deco... if Hasbro...

    I hear you about Falcon. I got the NF set and plan to put the head on the regular version, but I've been too lazy to even do a noggin swap. I've seen retro Beachhead and Eel at WM, but the Duke wave is still by far more ubiquitous. No telling what WM has piled up in a warehouse. I'll take...

    I originally skipped SS v2 because that's not my favorite deco and I thought the figure looked poorly executed, but yesterday I saw someone gave him a skirt-ectomy, and he looked 100% better. So I have one ordered now to modify.

    I simply do not care about owning Heavy Duty as a character. He was after my time and seems like a bad Roadblock knockoff. But people seem to like him because of his absurdly huge guns, not in spite of them. I broke down and ordered the upcoming HD figure... not for the character, but...

    Target getting rid of CI Roadblock and TF Roadblock/Tripwire. CI Roadblock = $5.69 (that's Ollie's level discount!) TF Roadblock/Tripwire (normally $55) = $38.49 + 25% toy coupon (it's on the site, nothing special) ==> $28.87... so basically half price Aaaand I got free shipping. Didn't...

    Totally weird... I posted in the TFW Pangu Omega discussion, and the Aliexpress seller I bought from actually commented in the thread... said that the price was so good because the item was subsidized by the platform and that he'd have other super deals in the future. I had no idea Ali...

    Takara Transformers

    During a search for some specific HTF legends figures (more on that later), I found a 4th Party Omega Supreme that is super awesome. He's roughly 10" tall, has a nice metallic paintjob, comes with all kinds of accessories, clicky ratchet joints... for $35. :eek...

    Takara Transformers

    The kits make really nice figures if you're not bothered by the lack of transformation. The articulation is very good, the likenesses are spot-on, and the paint work is premium. I highly recommend if they fit in your budget. Also, there is a new Prime/Megs 2-pack coming out that's a bit...
