I decided to add another set of china-bricks to my collection before we give china the heave-ho as a trading partner. 3000pcs. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32986476228.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.458e4c4d19wQIU This one is just too cool, especially with the LED kit. I don't collect Star...

I like that gun design for Duke. That's a legit generic cartoon style gun that could be used with a ton of characters. Hopefully Marauders will make that available in quantity. The SE head looks cool but it's a big large for that body, a bit of bobblehead syndrome.

That's an issue. I have more problems with target exclusives in general, as they're not as ubiquitous as WM, Gamestop, Walgreens, etc. And if they aren't going to put them online for a reasonable time (not 1.3 seconds like this round), or take precautions to prevent bots from buying them all...

Ha, thanks! In reality, they're the same legs, just some paint and apoxie sculpted boot tops. I put the same detail on RB's boots too, it just doesn't show much in black.

I love the cobra officer. Glued a little black "V" to his helmet, painted the sigil and arm-band silver, and gave him an AK. So simple, but it looks so cool, IMO.

Yo Joe!

Wow, just checked prices and they have gone up substantially in the last couple of days. I must have hit the sweet spot when people still thought they were going to wait for retail. Now that the realization has hit that no one could find them yesterday, prices have jumped up another $25 per...

Well, I hit target this morning, first person in (there wasn't anyone else there), and found the two newest Joes, Jack and Shit. The 14th street date clearly didn't mean anything. On the bright side, Troopers 3, 4, and 5 arrived in the mail. Gonna have to take some pics this weekend.

I'm tempted to drill a few 1/16" holes in the speeder to slip fishing line through. But the problem is, I've learned from hanging my BBI jets in the garage that if you hang them low, they're in the way, and if you hang them high, you just stare at the underside. Even tilting them only...

I will make room to display them... somewhere... I already don't know where to put the giant snow speeder. And that's just my office. You guys have already seen the closet with the MOC stuff... And I already need a new space for the MOTUC collection. I've got a MIB Grayskull still needing to...

Ok, I guess it's really not for you then. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Personally, I would prefer straight-up ARAH designs with 6"-level detail, no modernization required. I think Destro is the bees-knees because he IS so close to his ARAH roots. IMO, he looks like a small Sideshow figure minus all of that...

You'd be right... except you've been duped by FAKE NEWS (shame shame). The drawings you linked have been confirmed to NOT be future Classified stuff but rather random designs done by one of the sculptors years ago for another project (that clearly went nowhere). If the line's not for you, it's...

The 14th was the original plan. But stores got them in late July and some stores started selling them willy-nilly. Then Hasbro said that the street date for stores was the 1st, but for their online store, it's still the 14th. But now there are still stores that are sticking to the 14th. It's...

Maybe, but that's a new site they just put up in the last couple of months IIRC. It's not like it's old data from a previous line. It's hard to imagine that the characters listed aren't on the *likely* roadmap for the line. Barbecue is the only character on the Joe list that I'm indifferent...

That's how they get ya'! Don't sleep on Destro, easily the best figure of the first wave. He will get extremely pricey soon. Also, the Hasbro website basically teases the next several waves by highlighting certain Joe/Cobra characters using box-art/designs for the already announced figures...

The Cobra Trooper. He's a Target exclusive, along with Beachhead, another Roadblock, and Baroness on COIL bike. The trooper is better in person than even the pics suggest. Beachhead is fantastic as well. https://toynewsi.com/9-36809 Not my pic:

They have made it to *some* WM and Target stores. I have not personally seen any, but I've been in a retail store exactly once since March, so I'm probably not the best person to ask. But I'm confident that the scalpers selling me troopers on ebay have found them in actual target stores. The...

I'm not particularly fussed about "true" 1:12 scale. The vexing part is that Hasbro makes Star Wars Black, Joe, and Marvel Legends... and they're all a different scale. If these were coming from 3 different companies, I'd at least say that they interpret 1:12 slightly differently, but in what...

I'm loving the line. Sure, they went nuts with the futuristic shin guards (it's going to get annoying to have to cut them off and mold laces onto a bunch of figures), but overall, they're fantastic. The new trooper is an astounding figure. I have overpaid for several, and I don't feel bad...

I was an original backer, and I got mine about a month ago. It took so long, I basically lost interest before it ever arrived. It's a cool little artifact, I don't know what to do with it. I hate to open it, but what else would I do with it?
