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

    Maybe, but would another CC variant excite anyone? Would it genuinely entice someone to back the campaign? If I was on the fence, I don't think yet another CoCo would sway me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Personally, IF they do make CC a stretch, I'd love to see it be the armored one... just to watch the...

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

    Agreed, but stop motion is so labor and time intensive... no way they would have made a 2hr film. It would be 10-15 min tops. Really changes the scope of the project with a stop motion limitation, so I get it. Aside from the occasional hand, I thought the cinematography was great, and they...

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

    Yeah, the big debate is the stretch figures. We all assume WW, full load out, and stand are in the base package. - Gunner is an obvious choice - some think flight suit baroness is a given, but I hope not. Just because she'd come with a flight helmet (new hat!) is not enough for me to want...

    Damn, someone put a lot of work into this... I can't say I loved the plot or anything, but I respect the effort. BAZOOKA - A GI JOE MOVIE (youtube.com)

    Yeah, I remember the Operation Recall kickstarter a year or two ago. I could have sworn there was a thread about it around here somewhere, but I can't find it. It's a cool concept, especially since they're getting the original Joe creators involved. But without the nostalgia factor, I...

    I don't know what fraction of the book is new material, but every KS update seemed to imply they'd found even more stuff. It's enough that I know my individual volumes are incomplete, but to what degree, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I have the first 3-4 volumes they did on kickstarter (all the way through '87 for sure), but they weren't nearly as thorough. The big book not only remasters most of the artwork, rescanned from originals, but they included a ton of new stuff too. So looking at the old single volumes will show...

    I think BBTS bought *some* of the excess. Last update from the kickstarter explained that they were close to breaking even (finally, after selling extras for a year), but the DVD/Blu-ray sets were costing them a bundle. While the whole project was well-done, the entire time, they have been...

    I think it only hit BBTS because they have so many leftover. If I put as much work as they did into this, I'd over-order too. But financial realities mean that they need to sell more to break even and get rid of excess stock. They wouldn't include a middleman if they didn't have to. I think...

    As much as I would have jumped on this a decade ago, I just can't make myself pull the trigger.

    I was wrong. It's 'Noktober... both Torch and G'Hyde showed up this afternoon. Biker gang gonna party tonight... until I go to bed... probably early b/c I'm old. :LOL:

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

    Torch (from Pulse) is out for delivery today... Gnawgahyde won't be in until Monday. My Premium membership has expired, but I don't think I'll renew until there is something to pre-order. No need to start the 12mo clock right now. There is nowhere to see when it expires, but I think I got...

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

    Yeah, those two and Beachhead I'm most excited about. BH just looks sooooo ARAH, his CI release with the dark colors and shin-guards looks bad by comparison. I hope we get a retro Flint soon, as that'll get the last of the heavy hitters into the modern design sensibility, no more shin guards...

    Yeah, my AMZ Jinx, Night Creeper, Torch, and Doc all got pushed back to august sometime. Same with Beachhead, which until this morning was still showing due tomorrow on AMZ. But I got the retro Snow Serpent from the same two-figure wave 10 days ago. And Pulse has already shipped me a couple...

    Super 7 GI Joe

    7" Ultimates are not o-ring. They have basic ARAH articulation plus ball-necks, an ab joint, and foot swivel, but that's it. No double jointed knees and elbows, no butterfly joints, no thigh or boot swivels, no drop-down hips. I'd call their articulation ARAH+, but certainly not Classified or...

    Super 7 GI Joe

    Sorry for the confusion. The two SDCC figs are the 7" Ultimates, while the new line of o-rings (known as "ReAction+") are supposed to come out later this year (unknown exactly when). The good/bad news is that the o-rings are supposed to MSRP for $20. On one hand, hasbro tried selling $20...

    Super 7 GI Joe

    Jungle Trap Zartan and Cobra Mortal are the Ultimates SDCC offerings. Mortal is an awesome tribute to a rare foreign figure.... while Zartan is basically his original release with a cloak and some new snake-themed accessories. I doubt this version changes colors like the v1... but I'll...

    GI Joe Ongoing Comic from Skybound

    The IDW material was really strong the first couple of years (COBRA series starring Chuckles was phenomenal, made him into a legit fan-favorite). Then it petered out when they hired some woke writers and really sub-standard artists. They just kept relaunching and couldn't get an ongoing past...
