I wonder if it's really that much larger of if this is just camera perspective trickery. In other photos, it seems just as joe-scale as every other skystriker, but here it clearly appears bigger. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Man, they revealed the last of the stretch goals for the Haslab Rancor today. Everyone wanted the Keeper (weepy fat guy) and Oola (green chic who gets fed to him). Instead, they revealed: - a gammorean guard (everyone has these) - some random bones (presumably remnants of previous meals...

Working on some more ARAH repaints. It's amazing how much more I like these figures when they have a proper classic deco.

This summer, I did a rewatch of all the minis, season 1 and most of season 2. Still gotta finish that. It's no more or less goofy than 37 years ago, but it was great background TV. I knew every word that was about to be said, every joke, every one-liner. As you'd expect, some episodes hold up...

Yes, the F-14 flying to outer space "makes sense" :laugh: ...but no less so than Fatal Fluffies, hypnotic rock bands and conch shells, and an island filled with giant preschool toys run by a fat manchild. ;)

I also had that thought! Why does the pilot get a spacesuit and the copilot gets an open-face football helmet?! I think I'd protest if I were Tailhook. I know the numbers have slowed to a crawl, but I really hope it picks up steam at the end like most other haslab projects. I really want...

I also find it odd that Ace's co-pilot wasn't given a proper codename. Maybe he's just a greenshirt, but when has the Hasbro team ever shied away from inserting a new character into the lore, especially one who can trace his roots back to the '83 Skystriker box art?! If they don't give him...

I won't argue with anyone making the case that a Joe-scale Skystriker isn't worth $229... because that's a lot of jack no matter how detailed and accessory-laden it is. However, it's hard to look at these pics and not be impressed. The stand alone makes me want one, being able to put this...

A review of the Classified Barbecue figure... by someone from generation-Fortnite who clearly has absolutely no idea who the character is. It's funny in its utter bizarreness. "He has range and melee weapons!" Um no, he has a firefighting axe and an extinguisher. And his tank is not filled...

Huh? These aren't the ReAction 5 PoA figures. These are the 7" Ultimates which are fully articulated. The digital renders just don't accentuate the joints. They've got ball hips/shoulders/necks, ab cruches, ankles, but I suspect the knees and elbows are singles, and I'm not clear on the...

Eh, my collecting of other things has slowly tapered down to a trickle, so spending more on these isn't an undue burden. SW only occasionally puts out anything I want to buy, same with McFarlane DC, and TF is down to just rando 3P legends at 1-2/month. Even with Marvel Legends, I'm just buying...

2nd Wave of Ultimates just got announced. This will not appeal to the hardcore modern military junkies amongst us, but for the nostalgia wanks like myself, this is pure sex. G.I. Joe ULTIMATES! Wave 2 - Set of 4 Figures (Pre-Order) – Super7 Pre-Orders (super7store.com) I still prefer Flint's...

I was looking at the group of figs yesterday, and wow, they are all over the place. It's a wacky bunch.

Ha! No slight on your skills, but I don't think it's possible. Just too many personalities, too much disparity in power levels, etc. Space robots and grounded military fiction kinda don't mesh without one or both of them really getting out of their lane. The IDW writers pretended their...

I don't want to be a wet blanket, but that's basically the plot of all of IDW's hasbro comics from 2007-2018. It was a hot mess of the highest order. It successfully convinced me that Joe and TF (and the rest) absolutely have no business being in the same narrative universe. I no longer want...

V-V, what's your dream MASK relaunch? 2", 4", or 6"? With vehicles, I assume 6" is too big, but it would be a shame to not make them compatible with 4" Joes. I guess they could make 2" figures if they're articulated like Mega figures and not 5 PoA Kenner figures. Did you read the IDW...

I loved the marvel run through the Cobra Civil War (ended in #76) I originally collected through 100, but 76 was the end of the Golden era, imo. I think SS "died" in #46 or 47, and came back in 49 or 50. If you stopped at that point, you kinda missed out on some good stuff that came later in...

Anybody considering these? Transformers MDLX Articulated Figures Series Optimus Prime (bigbadtoystore.com) Transformers MDLX Articulated Figures Series Bumblebee (bigbadtoystore.com) I thought I was done buying TFs for the most part, but these intrigue me. Mostly, I look at these and think...

I consumed and enjoyed both, but my lasting impression of each character seems to be the version that got the most fleshing out. When I think Flint, Gung-Ho, Shipwreck, or Roadblock, I think toon because they were so featured and didn't do much comic-wise. When it comes to Hawk, Stalker...

In the 'toon, of course he never appears as a Col, and as a General, he rarely showed up on the battlefield except to assess the situation and bark orders. He left the leading-of-men to Flint, Duke, and Beachhead. In the comic, he was far more of a hands-on leader, even after getting his...
