Looks like Major Bludd is likely going to be made of unobtainium as well... G.I. Joe Classified Major Bludd Coming To Target As An Exclusive? (toynewsi.com)

Yes and no. I just found them on amazon under the Big Daddy (?) brand. $20. Go figure. I ordered two... Amazon.com: Big Daddy Military Missile Transport Army Truck Anti Aircraft Twin Missile Jungle Camouflage Toy Truck: Toys & Games They have another variant too: Amazon.com: Big Daddy...

Not gonna lie, I need a couple of those. The missiles are the perfect scale for a 1:12th M.M.S. that Hasbro will never produce for the 6" line. EDIT: wow, those are expensive ($90+shipping from manufacturer, $120-200 on ebay). Unless these come to BigLots, I guess I'll do without.

For the price, he'd better be substantially better...

He is 6". That's what One:12 makes.

Destro just went up for preorder today.... G.I. Joe One:12 Collective Destro (bigbadtoystore.com) I put in for one at BBTS. I typically don't like 1:12 figures with cloth clothes, as they look bulky, unnatural, and remind me of cheezy Mego figures from the 70's. That being said, I expect that...

Agreed, these figures look neat, but overall, they seem like they're from a video game or anime I've never seen. The hammers and axes look like something from Destiny or Final Fantasy franchises. Most of us on the site are interested in military figures in the WWII - near future timeframe, so...

Interesting. I didn't realize there were so many 1:18 female figures being sold out there. I have some marauder parts for female customs I haven't built, and I've got 3-4 planet green valley females, but I've been out of touch with 1/18th stuff since Joe went away and everything became $30...

I think your assessment of his age is correct. He clearly was not alive in the 80s and would not know that they were the hottest selling toy of the decade, likely by a large margin. TF, He-Man, SW, and TMNT were all big, but none of them were on Joe's level at the time. Although it's odd that...

Adrianne Palicki is certainly smokin' hot... all the way back to her Friday Night Lights days, but I'm not sure she really fit my mental image of Lady Jaye. She's really more of a Cover Girl if we're applying ARAH standards. I wouldn't be sad if they brought her back, but I can also imagine...

Obviously little is known at this point, but if it's done well, I'll watch it. Amazon Making G.I. Joe Series Focusing on Lady Jaye (gizmodo.com)

Agreed. Is Darth Vader a robot? Why does Chewbacca turn into a starship? The SW crossovers were all very stupid, IMO. They serve no play purpose or fit into any TF or SW narrative. WTF, Mattel??? This is an abortion.

This strikes me as the quintessential example of "just because you can, doesn't mean you should." Who is this for exactly? Transformers Collaborative: X-Men Mash-Up – The Ultimate X-Spanse Figure In-Hand Look (marvelousnews.com)

Neat. The guy clearly has a lot of imagination. His construction skills seem to be rudimentary, as if the only tool he owns is a hacksaw, but he tried hard. However, I must admit that I couldn't stop cringing throughout the video. The mix of ARAH and modern Joes, the weird mish-mash of parts...

Very cool. Both my grandfathers were in the Navy. One didn't see much action, as he was young and joined up about 6mo before the end of the war. The other was in the south pacific on a warship. He was in the engine room when the ship was torpedoed. Their instructions were to always wear...

I got my zartan and blue trooper from BBTS yesterday. Zartan is great. If I had one niggle it would be the funky angle that his right wrist is molded in relative to the joint. It's a little odd and makes him seem like he's aiming to the left a bit. But that's very minor and overall a great...

That's pretty sweet. I really want to get into some 3d printing for the same reason I wanted to get into casting... custom parts! But casting is a mixed bag, as it's messy, I'm not much of a sculptor, and I don't have a pressure pot, so it's tough to do much with fine detail. Maybe I'll talk...

Why anguished face?!

It's January, so I guess it's time for a Mega Joe update (apparently I'm most productive when it's cold outside...):
