Jeebus, I hope you're joking. I really hated the repaint sub-teams. It would be like the Chinese flying around in a bright red, stolen F-22. As if.

I grabbed a 5th one so I could finish my squad. The big question now is what mods can I make to designate the leader like I did with the blueshirts? I could use one of the officer armbands. I could paint over some of the Viper red with silver. Not sure what would look best to really...

Vipers are back up at target, limit 1. https://www.target.com/p/g-i-joe-classified-series-special-missions-cobra-island-cobra-viper/-/A-80796556?clkid=e012eea0Nf94811eaa8a942010a246fda&lnm=81938&afid=Preternia&ref=tgt_adv_xasd0002#lnk=sametab

I think part of it is that they're much smaller production numbers than a mass market figure. So all the sculpting and tooling costs are shared by far less units. And they look like they have a lot of paint apps, and they certainly do come with a ton of accessories. So I get that they should...

That Trapjaw is the one I wanted, as I wasn't keen on the minicomic deco in a $10 skull (WTF, those suck). Roboto is cool (although they'll certainly come out with a better toy-deco for him too). Man-E-Faces is the star of the wave. Scareglow and minicomic Triclops... meh. But yeah, I just...

Agree 100%. But at least they're priced under $20. Those S7 TFs look just as derpy as the Red-line, if not more so, and they cost $55 ea! Sure, they come with lots of accessories, but not $35 worth of stuff that will mostly live in a bin. Lots of joe fans are excited about the S7 sunbow...

Speaking of Transformers, how is it possible that I'm rather excited for Super7 Joes, yet the S7 Transformers do nothing for me? Are they serious with this shit? Transformers Ultimates Wave 2 Set of 4 Figures (bigbadtoystore.com) Those figures look like TFs that have gotten the Muppet Babies...

Yeah, I felt like $100 was plenty for that mold. I didn't even try to transform him, just put him on the shelf with the others. Paying full rate for the HasTak version seems like complete lunacy. Around the same time as the KO Prime, I pre-ordered a high-pockets KO Megs (4th run) as well...

A lot of people's sets did, so it's definitely not just you. Not sure how I got lucky enough to actually receive mine.

Baroness arrived from Target about an hour after the Viper. Those two along with two sets of the latest Mega MOTU Heroes wave, and the action figure gods are smiling on me today.

Target Viper arrived early. Go figure.

Yeah, given the outdated appearance of the initial seekers and the insane prices they command, replacing them seems like a no-brainer. I have deemed the TRU versions "good enough", but MT definitely did a good job with those. I have completely lost the urge to add to the MP collection. After...

That does look good. Very nice. I'm perfectly happy with my TRU seekers, but that's probably the route I'd take if I were starting from scratch. I sold off the original Takara seekers for big bank back in the purge of '14, but the TRU versions are good enough for my shelf. They're not as...

Apparently my Viper has shipped too, they just never sent me an email about it like they did baroness. Go figure.

I saw a handful of Pimp Daddy's at the local Books-a-Million if anyone is still looking for that exclusive.

My baroness shipped, but I don't think my Viper has moved yet.

Teaser for One:12 Firefly...

Would it be weird if I painted the chest logo on the officer's package art? That red is going to drive me nuts.

amen

Eh, with Joytoy, you'd barely get one figure by the time you paid them to ship it. I don't like $13 Joes any more than the next guy, but inflation is real (thanks, Biden!), and 6" hasbro figures are $23 now. Plus, I've got enough 4" figures, I don't need to army-build anymore, so I can justify...
