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

    The Viper 3-pack arrived today too. The regular vipers are definitely a bit darker and more muted than the CI release. Doesn't bother me though. The Viper "officer"... I actually like it more than I thought I would. Still not going to use him in an officer capacity, as I've grown used to the...

    Got Zarana today, one group of CGs inbound tomorrow. Charged for Dusty but no shipping yet. December is the best month. Change my mind.

    No sweat :). I felt confident with all the PO cancellations, this guy was going to be easy to find in stores, especially since the '87 deco has already been put on the schedule. Haha no not me, that's the stock head on the new "Blowback" valaverse figure. I was going to work on "me" today...

    Special deployment Blowback arrived today, kinda the Vala version of Flint. I like him. I would have preferred darker boots than the super pale avocado color, but I'm glad to get another figure in the line.

    I hear you. The figures at this scale are the pinnacle of detail and articulation while still being far more reasonably priced than anything larger. It's the faces that really do it for me, as the amount of facial detail in 3-3/4 is just so lacking in comparison. Yet I'm envious of the...

    Really? I don't FB much, but I don't know half the people on that group anyway. I don't know if I'd know they were spam...

    Anyone partake of any good toy BF/CM deals? I couldn't pass up another Stalker and ARAH Roadblock for $15 ea, and I broke down and bought one of the Viper 3-packs for $67. Not sure what I'll do with that officer figure, but he doesn't look like an officer to me. I'll end up making him some...

    I need to add on to the house to create a toy-photo studio. I don't have nearly enough room to spread out, build sets and dios, etc. I have like a dozen Extreme Set Pop-Up Dios.... but they're far from pop-up. Once you assemble them, you really don't want to disassemble them. Most of them...

    I wasn't expecting this wave before x-mas, so getting any of them is a relative bonus, IMO. Mindbender, Slaughter, and Zarana should be here in a few days, hopefully Dusty and CG aren't far behind. Nice late-year haul. Happy birthday to me ;) W1 of the S7 Ultimates is also forecast for "any...

    Just got a ship notification for Zarana from DD. Not Dusty, not my CGs, but just Zarana. Go figure.

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

    Sort of. He comes with a snake head cap that is attached to the cobra hood (which plugs into his back under the cape) AND a cap / hood combo that is two separate pieces. The one-piece looks great, like a real snake... but in that case, he basically has zero head/neck articulation, just looking...

    Wow, I knew Serpentor was a big boy, but holy smoke.... o_O He's a stunningly well-done figure. And he's sooooo ARAH that he makes video game CC look extremely dated. I can't wait for the HISS campaign Micky Mouse mold to get a regular logo release. And while I'm still confident I'll...

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

    Yeah, all those toy insert mail away things changed over time, and at some point, you could get a lot of figures you missed at retail. Some of them were Sears or JCP catalog 3-packs or 4-packs of redback figures. But a good chunk of characters from '82-'85 got released in a baggie along the...

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

    Yeah, the closest you ever got to reissues of those were the red-back mail-away versions of *most* of the early figures. Of the Class of '82, I originally had Snake-Eyes, Stalker, Scarlett, Grunt, Zap, RnR, Flash, and Clutch, as well as Trooper and Cobra Commander. And I managed to have all...

    Oh, I know, repaints are the name of the game. Anything to reuse those molds. I owned a few TF figures (Duke, Flint), but the only one I actually bought due to missing the original was Dusty. And I had to take a brown marker to his face, as he wasn't "Dusty" with a plain goofy face. That's a...

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

    Yeah, the squad notion was ok, but the toon acted like the previous characters didn't exist, same with TF. Other than Flint and Shipwreck, I don't think any previous characters had any major roles in S2 of the toon. We never saw Stalker and Beachhead do anything. Doc and Lifeline never teamed...
