Don't forget that S7 is also getting back into the O-ring game. I have a lot of hope that they'll be making toony/comic-y versions of ARAH characters that we never got in toy form or that have always been in desperate need of an update because of poor head sculpts, like any of the (ugly)...

What?! No self-respecting Joe collector has been able to resist all this 1:12 goodness. I must admit, I have not touched a 1:18 figure in years aside from collecting what few came out from the WM retro line and the short-lived o-ring revival from pulse that put out a net.... ten figures? But...

I got screwed by "Club ARAH" like a decade ago (guy supposedly got cancer and used all the funds for his medical bills... supposedly). And then I got taken again by the Kickstarter for 1:12 soldiers (long before Vala or Classified), the Army Alphas. That dude stole nearly 100k, and kickstarter...

Real bummer. How many people got screwed? I've been burned enough that I'm highly skeptical of any projects being done by unproven entities.

He's a knocked-up 4th party figure based on Magic Square's second attempt at an MP Prime. I use the original v1 Magic Square as my display Prime, but I have v2 as well. V2 is definitely more toony and takes a lot of cues from MP-44. But both MS versions are better than MP-10 and MP-44, IMO.

I haven't put any with him, but I've seen pics where others have tried it, and they look solidly in-scale. (y)

I got Pangu Prime in the mail today from ShowZ. He's 18" of pure Magic Square goodness. Very solid and stable. EDIT: According to Eddie, I got very lucky, as a great number of these have arrived to anxious customers with one arm being completely broken off. Eddie compiled a fix for his...

where's the 1:18th bonfire? ;)

Hahaha, I just said that because the red/black Jinx custom you posted is about 90% Helix repaint, corset and all. Did your Shippy noggin arrive ok?

So you want red Helix to go with the existing yellow Helix? What about a blue or green Helix? Girl ninja power rangers!

Mostly black.... like this? G.I. Joe Classified Series

I figured jinx would be right up your alley, update-wise. No puffy sleeves, no slippers. Heck even I don't mind this look, minus the tats. What does a modernized Jinx look like in your world? (you know, besides the fact that all ninjas beyond SE&SS should be thrown into a volcano) I look at...

Reveals today of renders for Doc, Jinx, Torch, Gnawgahyde, and Night Creeper. All of them look stellar. Doc looks a little too old/angry for my taste (the pink lips are throwing me off too), and Jinx has full-sleeve tats that I'll have to remove immediately, but overall, my complaints are...

They would make it an antiquated chinese retromod of an old soviet carrier. All that SW stuff in the spare bedroom... I feel like someone got divorced just before or just after that. That's the army building hole we'd all go into with no wife or kids.

I email with Eddie all the time. He's good, same ol' Eddie, just busy and shifting interests. Still in MI working for Ford, still no kids. But to the best of my knowledge, he's behaving himself. :LOL:

I got mine before x-mas and it's MASSIVE. I looked at it for hours and I'm nowhere near halfway through. Like you, I mostly care about the front half, but it's so thorough, so comprehensive, you feel like you're getting a PhD in Joe. Totally worth the money, IMO. It's one of those things...

Like an idiot, I got excited and glued the hat to the hair before primering/painting. Such a noob. But the sailor hat hair works better than the full head of hair, as it has the slight hat-hair indention that makes it look like the hat is compressing just a bit, looks way more natural than...

That's some cheap fodder! You passed up a $7 Dusty that only needs a vest and cap to make Skidmark?! :LOL:

I'm going to give it a shot, see if I can use the sailor hat scalp as a base or if I have to ruin a full head of hair. Also, Mutt & Junk came in this past week, but I haven't checked them out yet. I'm very behind on opening things. Still haven't cracked open the HISS from before x-mas. Been...

FYI, I learned today that this cap on Nick Fury is removable... for all your tactical Shipwreck needs. So he might be worth picking up on clearance or grabbing the head from Mercari. Anything's easier than trying to extract the cap from a Lowlight head.
