    I'll sell you the Megatron/HISS. I just want the carded Baroness.

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

    I like Stalker, but I wish there was more contrast in his camo. His original deco used a light base (nearly as light as Zap) and put a dark green pattern on it. This one is more dark green on dark grey or something (hard to tell from the pics). I definitely expect him to get a more ARAH look...

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

    That OD GH is the same as the first version, and it's repacked in the AV/BAT case. GH is the harbinger of being too late on that wave. The OD look was not to my liking, and thus why I did a custom job on mine... and why I'll gladly buy the sky blue version too. I likely would have held off on...

    GI Joe 1/18th figures by Hiya Toys

    Yeah, I read it yesterday... but let's be honest, it wasn't much of an announcement, no figures, no narrative, no dates. It's more of a "stay tuned". I just posted it here in an attempt to get a little speculation going, see what people were hoping to get from the line, what the community...

    GI Joe 1/18th figures by Hiya Toys

    Not much to know at this point other than new 1:18th stuff coming from Hiya. No pics yet. Hiya Toys Announces 1:18 Scale G.I.Joe Figures (toynewsi.com) If their other 1:18 lines are any indicator, we're looking at highly articulated $20 base figures with small vehicles and deluxe stuff in the...

    Anybody still collecting SW on here?

    The kids actually insisted we binge Fett this afternoon b/c the kids at school were starting to spoil stuff. Enjoyed it a lot, mostly.

    Haven't watched Fett yet, so I'll take your word for it.

    Very nice! I didn't like the price, but that's a great looking piece. I wonder if the next season of Mando is going to see him get a "new" version of that ship.

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

    Yeah, I knew they would not be. None of the ML "retro" repaints were a single penny cheaper than any other standard ML figure. No way Hasbro wasn't following the exact same sales model. In the case of Legends, you're actually getting a worse deal with the retro repaints, b/c the repaints...

    ARAH: The Second Coming

    Except that Stalker mold was by far the best generic soldier buck they'd ever made. It made 25th stuff look like it was made by Kenner. I'm crushed that the line ended before we got a Short Fuze, Hawk, Steeler, Zap, Breaker, etc out of that design. I bought extras of stalker and grunt, and...

    ARAH: The Second Coming

    I'd give anything for the retro line to continue and give us the rest of the O13 on that Stalker buck. So much potential, kinda wasted.

    ARAH: The Second Coming

    Yeah, SE's right hand was the worst of the bunch b/c it's tough to get the gun to point in a reasonable direction. I might even dare to take an exact-o to it if I can determine exactly what I could trim to make the gun sit level.

    Anybody still collecting SW on here?

    I would like one of these, but it'll have to be half-price a couple of black fridays from now for me to consider it. I bought a couple of Tantive IV hallway sets for $35/ea, and even that felt on the high-side of reasonable to me.

    ARAH: The Second Coming

    Maybe. I have to imagine that these are pretty high-margin items, since they don't have to pay license fees, no artwork fees, and especially if they're using any of the old tooling. Also, I think being a pulse exclusive line it could last longer than any WM line since hasbro isn't depending on...

    Anybody still collecting SW on here?

    Someone on TFW asked the price, and when someone told him, I thought they were throwing out an absurdly high guess just for comedic effect. It was several more hours before I realized he was telling the truth. I thought the $50 Tantive IV one-sided hallway was absurd, so when I saw this, I...

    ARAH: The Second Coming

    That's valid. If the line goes very far, I won't be a completist. I'll probably pick up *most* figures from the 82-87 era, but I won't feel a compulsion to do so. And I probably won't be picking up doubles of most, as I don't see myself wanting them for anything beyond a MOC display. Maybe...

    ARAH: The Second Coming

    A few thoughts... - Opened a set last night, and I think the plastics are nice in and of themselves, but I was a bit disappointed with how soft the sculpt details are. I just assumed these figures got a resculpt, but it feels like they're using the same old molds that are super worn out or new...

    ARAH: The Second Coming

    Nice! Got mine yesterday, and I agree. I would still prefer the vintage little white stripe around the edge of the card, but overall they're nice. Neither the WM retro figs or the Classified retro figs have the white stripe either, so I guess that's how hasbro is rolling these days. Only...

    Yeah, they all need a little lengthening on the neck, but otherwise, they look pretty sweet. Congratz!
