I hear you. I will likely end up adding more viet kong when the time comes. In my current order, I think I have two regulars, a female, and an RPG version. Charlie needs more than four warm bodies. And of course, I skipped the NVA regulars, and I'll probably rectify that too. When somebody...

I have a dozen figures ordered from this campaign, but I'd have to check my spreadsheet to know which ones. It's been soooooo long. The campaign was three years ago and was supposed to ship by "early spring '23". I shouldn't complain, as I'd rather the stuff be quality and done right rather...

Apparently, there is more collaboration between the comics and toys than we realized. Haven't read it yet, but forget Duke or SE, word is that it is implied that Scarlett and Jinx are... an item. Does Cathleen Kennedy work at skybound?

I couldn't get past the first video. He makes some interesting choices, but he cuts a lot of corners. How lazy do you have to be to not get the boot colors right?

GI Joe #1 Launches From Skybound/Image Comics in November 2024 (bleedingcool.com) While I haven't read the initial Skybound minis yet, I hear they're quite good. I'm anxious to read their take since the IDW-verse Joe titles devolved into a hot mess I could no longer support. I'm still...

I agree their release process and character selection method is all over the place... but I'm sure they were trying to include later fans who might get bored or move along before they got to that group's favorite guys. Plus, they didn't really know how many waves the line would go. Hasbro has...

Once a man.... SDCC '24 Exclusive. o_O

Yeah, watching the SW crowd twist in the wind almost feels cruel after the lousy haslabs they've had in recent years. Looking at the trend though, it'll fund... I'm just not sure it makes more than one stretch. While I know there isn't 100% overlap, I wonder if there is hesitation by some that...

No, I'm not shocked they didn't offer such a thing. Like you say, most people were there for the art and stories, so if they'd had a no-frills option, I think a lot of people would have taken it. All the pins, stickers, and cards are super-high margin stuff, so asking the basic price and...

I'm not supporting the campaign because of any of the add-ons. They're nice little trinkets, but I don't know what I'll do with some random Joe trading cards, pins, and stickers. My main desire is to have the volumes in hardcover. But that won't stop me from buying a cheaper softcover set...

Just 6 hrs to go, over $3.4M pledged, more unlocks being added and obliterated. Now stands as the most funded comic KS in history. I know I sound like a broken record, but I want everyone to own and enjoy these great comics. Last chance folks! G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero Compendium Set by...

Cool. I haven't kept up with my local WM inventory since school let out, but last I checked, the retros were getting restocked regularly. A few weeks ago, my son was taking the ACT, and the closest location was at a high school 45min south. I had 3-4 hours to kill, so I hit every WM in a wide...

Finally got around to opening the Ferret... and while the driver does nothing for me (she's about to become a female snow serpent), the 4-wheeler is hella fun. It has a cool spring-y 4-wheel independent suspension, the wheels roll nice, and it's big but small enough to drive over your keyboard...

No worries. You couldn't dent that book with a tank.

Two days to go, ~$3M pledged. All stretch goals (quite a few nifty rewards) unlocked (or will be in hours). Don't let FOMO get you!

I think the new o-rings will be 3-3/4" like vintage Joes, a little shorter than 25th/RoC/PoC/50th, and a whole bunch smaller than Classified. I suspect they'll match the current ReAction line size-wise (just with more articulation). And the word is they will MSRP for $20 (not $25 like rumored).

No question the marauders bodies look "better", but they don't fit with a vintage o-ring collection, either in height or aesthetic. Clearly S7 is going for the vintage sunbow look in o-ring form. I think there is a market for that, as a ton of people like what they're doing with ReAction...

I understand the complaint, but these are so sunbow/80's they wouldn't look right with modern figs or marauders anyway. Technically we did get suited o-ring twins in the TRU 6-packs about 20 years ago, but these are definitely going to be far more toon accurate.

New pics of upcoming S7 O-ring Joes... pretty damn cool. Very sunbow-esque.

It was yuuuuuuge. At one point in the mid-80's, Joe was marvel's best-selling title, more than Spider-Man or X-Men. It was just the perfect storm of the toys taking off, the cartoon lagging behind, and the commercials plugging the comic to kids buying the toys. And this was a title that they...
