Eh, I don't expect to ever find anything locally. Not counting movie figs, I've never seen anything but CC, Flint, and LJ at retail. The others would be simply rumors if I hadn't ordered online. If I want it, I PO. In the unlikely event I stumble on something in a store first, I may or may...

I think you will never see these at $10.99, even on clearance. I fully expect them to be $22.99 when they hit Wally shelves, $19.99 at a minimum. Heck, they might be the test cases for the $24.99 price point in Joe, who knows. But ain't nobody getting these legally for $11. My BATs and AV...

Yeah, USPS is strapped for both money and people at the moment. I had a package stuck in Atlanta for over a week. Usually once it hits ATL, I'll have it in hand within two days... but lately, I'm just lucky to get them at all. That Baroness looks pretty good, but I don't know that it's enough...

IIRC, those are casts from the (now defunct) Club AT figures, so you don't need the quotes around "GIJoe". They were released as actual Joe product once upon a time. I have the bearded one that came with the Dr Venom set with the big venus flytrap.

Yeah, I like paper books for when the chinese/russians/ISIS destroy our power grid and we have to live in the dark for a couple of years while society implodes. :panic: Forgive me, I just finished the Vince Flynn thriller Total Power, where that is a prominent plot point. :LOL:

Agreed, looking them up is simple enough. I really appreciate the artwork from the other stuff... the posters, the covers of the choose-your-own-adventure books, the mail-away pamphlets that came with the vehicles, the magazine covers. It'll be nice to have all that stuff in one place I can...

All that painted art is pretty special. These days, the package art for most toys is very... unsatisfying. Even the artwork on the sides of Classified figures is by a million different artists with wildly different styles. There is nothing cohesive/coherent about it, and no kid is going to...

Just an FYI....the kickstarter for this book still has a week to go, and it blew through the funding goals, stretch goals, and has made the 3DJoe guys dig deep to make the volume extra special. The funding goal was 35K and it's approaching a quarter mil, so they're going all-out. I backed...

Think Joe will be far behind? Practically guaranteed. So an increase of 25% in just 24 months. That's perfectly normal. No biggie, we'll just offset those costs with the 25% raise we all got during COVID, right? :rolleyes: ---------------------------------- Another Year, Another Figure...

I read that all that He-Man prattle was complete bullshit. It's still 100% owned by Mattel, full stop.

Yeah, even to collect MOC... they just look like shit. If you're displaying MOC toys, you want them to look like they *would* be fun if you actually opened them. These don't even accomplish that. I can't understand who would buy them as anything other than a joke. I didn't want 5 PoA when I...

I might pick up one or two when they're available outside of the campaign.

I finally got my initial shipment from the Valaverse AF Kickstarter: 2x Condor (i.e. Not-Duke) 2x Steel Brigade Bone Collector 3x Swarm Troopers Urban Trooper (i.e. Not-Firefly) Special Ops Trooper (i.e. Not-Snake-Eyes) I have several more that I ordered via BBTS that haven't dropped yet, but I...

They managed to get one of the former brand managers back, a guy that actually understands Joe and its 40-something fandom. So the line is definitely drifting back towards classic/ARAH designs and away from the original weird faux-future videogame decos. The current stuff is making the first...

Not feeling the grey viper officer with gold mask... too much like one of those old late 90's TRU sets. Officers in the cobra organization should always replace some red with silver, in keeping with tradition.

Newly announced in today's livestream, no POs yet, just renders: Classified 6" Tomax Xamot Stalker Viper Officer + 2x Viper (3-pack) (announced and assumed to be 6" retro cardback WM exclusives) Baroness (new face print... that looks just like the last one) Destro (sunbow deco) Gung-Ho (sunbow...

I've had this figure since before the holidays, but I just got around to opening it. I gotta say, while I usually lean toward toy-deco figures, TE-03 absolutely smokes MMC Sphinx in the "Mirage aesthetic" department. Of course, he's going to need a full complement of reprolabels, but he's...

Wait for it........ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Wait for it.... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . That particular piece of original comic art fetched . And if that sounds crazy, the interior page of Secret Wars #8 that depicts the very first rendering of Spider-Man in the...

While I know not every Joe fan was into the comics back in the day, I think everyone probably has a basic familiarity with issue #21, the classic "silent issue", and its significance. It was a big deal that reverberated through Joe fandom and all of comics for years. Yesterday, the original...

Yep Dan, I'm a 12/74 also... Sgt, we definitely didn't feel gypped by having 4" joes. We scoffed at the barbie-sized stuff that looked big and old. Star Wars really conditioned our generation to love the smaller scale. And while 80's Joe wasn't actually realistic, to a little kid, it had just...
