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

    The Plague are the main cobra "elite" squad during the DDP America's Elite series that wrapped up the Joe comic Marvel continuity before Hama returned at IDW to pick up where he left off. Thus it's almost like an alternate timeline that split off the main one at Marvel issue 155. The last...

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

    I really thought I was going to be able to skip the HISS fireteam, but alas, no. I could do without the abundance of red accents, but I can't pass up what is effectively night patrol trooper/officer and a dark range-viper that will instantly become one of the OG Plauge members, Body Bags.

    The eye camo makes him look like he's wearing a domino mask like the Riddler. Flint is not a batman villain! What's more astounding is that they didn't give him the updated short sleeves or non-shin-guard boots. It's a lazy bastard repaint at it's finest, and it looks as such.... and I say...

    PM me a mailing address, and I'll put together a package this weekend. I don't want anything for them... just glad to help a longtime collecting compatriot.

    Presidential thread

    Very nice. I've got some 6" presidents I need to get to work on. Who else are my plastic terrorists going to take hostage?

    It appears I have three colors of Vala PC: green, grey, and a grey-ish brown/khaki. They all have radios - some with long antennae, some with short antennae. The knives and magazines are removeable, but the knife sheaths, pouches, and magazine carriers are glued on but easy enough to slice off...

    In your favor is the fact that they aren't shipped based on when they were ordered. The two retro SEs I received were from my third order. The first two are still as yet unfulfilled. You probably have as good a chance as the bots that ordered in the first nanosecond. Hope the error holds and...

    I had seen the teaser for the CGs, but I've been busy and didn't catch the reveal of the whole wave. I have all of the first two waves. They look like they stepped out of an animation cell. They're clearly 7" scale, not 6", so they don't fit with classified at all. The articulation is not...

    Dragonfly hit 24.6k... not bad considering the HISS only hit 26.7k, and it was way more of an army builder and doesn't take up as much space. Hopefully this will cement to hasbro and fandom that well done iconic arah homages in this scale are a slam dunk if they bring their A-game. With...

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

    Yeah... they never did deliver my retro Storm Shadow and Zartan. I finally just ordered them on the website and cancelled the PO. And they fulfilled half of my SE & CG orders with the other half delayed until mid-august. So I suppose we'll see. And of course, I'm still sitting on the POs for...

    People seem to be drooling over the black/red AV... and there is much wailing and gnashing of teeth for those that missed out on the limited number available on Pulse (b/c people fear ordering from WM because of their delivery issues). As one tfw commentor stated "Walmart still having Collector...

    Ordered a Mole Rat to make a Dragonsky and a Shooter for a potential NF Lady Jaye. Skipped the Crimson A/V that has people so hot and bothered. :whatever: Dragonfly is over 22.5k, should hit 23-24k no problem. It's a shame there weren't another couple of stretch goals... as they would have...

    They extended the Dragonfly by 24 hours... supposedly because something in the app gave people the impression there was a day left, so they didn't want anyone to get caught out... ...or they just wanted to grab another day of accelerated sales... if that many more backers exist.

    The GridIron helmets are a nice compromise between modern and classic, and they're flexible enough to handle a little hair.

    I have several plate carriers from Vala in various colors, but none are going to be slim enough to fit under those bullet belts. The BBs are one piece (glued together), and they fit pretty snug on RnRs torso. Just to get them out of the way for painting last night, I had to remove his head and...

    Modern, schmodern... ARAH FTW! Tattoo removal, paint shirt and knee pads a nice 69.030 Mecha Dark Green, and giving RnR his classic brass accents on the buckles and such. THIS is the RnR I've been waiting for. After Grunt, I'll have a proper O13 in 6" form, can't wait.

    RnR's helmet is relatively modern, but if there is a helmet from a particular figure or a plate carrier you have your eye on, just let me know and I'll see what I can dig up. I'm awash in Vala gear too. That would be shitty if they forced us to buy a PP Copperhead with a normal Moccasin /...

    I assumed that if that was remotely on their roadmap, he wouldn't get released as a single fig. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
