I got Helix, but you'll notice she's not wearing her bizarro sword gauntlet things. In my world, she has no precog superpowers, just another capable field agent like scarlett or LJ. I couldn't pass up a good face sculpt like that though. Chuckles is awesome. Nothing special or anything you...

New additions...

I had to cancel my Shooter/Molerat order because they wouldn't change the shipping address when my office moved. So I canceled and reordered, putting myself at the back of the line. Shooter has shipped but no MR. I don't really care about Shooter as a character and only bought her because I...

Sadly, my storage unit is about full... need to have another purge, but it'll probably wait until the kids are off to college. I'll wait for the tax rules to relax a bit too, as I'm not playing the $600 game. BUT, I have my new studio to set up in the upstairs of the office, and that'll act as...

Mutt & Junk and Metalhead up for PO at Pulse, AMZ, BBTS, etc.

Yeah, I never warmed to the MkII... it irked me that it only had the four missiles. The green vamp had what I thought was a laser cannon, which you could rationalize to have, in theory, nearly infinite ammo. The four missiles on the MkII, once you shot those, you were a sitting duck. On this...

Clutch with VAMP was my first Joe, and sub-$100, it's an insta-buy. I actually ordered two. No chance I'm passing that up. I did the math, and if you agree the thing is 50% larger than the 25th version in three dimensions and that inflation has doubled the price of toys in 15 years, $100 is...

Yeah, I've heard rats, crows, ferrets... but I still find that to be a creepy sidekick for a cartoon/comic army man.

Tripwire arrived today, and Chuckles charged this morning, so maybe he'll show up in a week. While they're not O13 classics, I love these oddball characters. I'm not keen on the pet rat, but it's not crazy in the EOD world to have some bizarre detection animal helpers. I do like that they...

That's pretty close the the assessment I came to on the SS. Good but not great, wish I didn't have to pay extra for gear I won't use. I learned that you can stow the rocket launcher by clipping it on the bottom of the backpack. I have four SS opened, but I canceled the rest of my squad until...

I did see the preview of #301, and the artwork looks incredible. I prefer that level of detail over the previous artist. He was ok, but didn't really blow my skirt up. I hope this new guy can stay on the title for a while, but the problem with a title like Joe is that if they get a really...

Went out to dinner for our anniversary tonight (22yrs btw!), ran by Ollie's just before they closed... bupkus. I'm not sure a single figure had moved since I was there at noon on monday. I'm starting to think it's just not happening here.

Yeah, $5 for a figure of that caliber... if it's remotely useful... is a steal. That's why I'd probably buy another pile of Dustys and Stalkers if I stumbled on them, despite having plenty. And if it's a figure you don't have or were on the fence about, even better at that price. So far...

Congratz, never seen any of the final four retros in the wild. He'll be a brighter red than your other CGs, but if you're making him a special purpose guy, it won't really matter that he doesn't perfectly match. Tomorrow is the walmart collector con, NF Tunnel Rat, Parth Varma, and Shadow...

Wait, what? RS appears to be functional. If they took it down, they did a poor job of it. Half-assery, another facet of communism. They have no incentive to do a good job. But I'll take your lesson at face value. Communism does mean people can't have nice things... because by definition...

Nah, I'd just be gathering up cheap fodder. While I'd probably buy more if I saw them, truth is, I probably have enough stalkers and dustys. But if I saw a $5 falcon, I'd definitely grab a couple more. I think that $49 Viper price was Prime members only (that's what it said when I looked at...

You inspired me to make a lunch run to ollies... colossal bust. Remnant of the movie figures now mixed with all the eternals and dr strange legends, but zero hint they'd ever gotten non-movie joes. Bummer.

Among a few other lesser markdowns on Prime Day, $49 viper 3-pack: Amazon.com: G.I. Joe Classified Series Cobra Viper Officer & Vipers Figures 47 Collectible Toys, Multiple Accessories 6-Inch-Scale, Custom Package Art,Multicolored : Toys & Games

I got some more retro 4" WM Cobra Officers (from like 2 years ago), as they put them on sale for $5.

This is the video where I learned the best way to remove paint and tampos from figures. The gist of it is multiple light applications of acetone using lots of clean q-tips. But even so, it only takes a few seconds. (this contradicts my comment from friday, as I was clearly swapping iso and...
