If that’s the direction it goes, I can definitely go without. Heck, I don’t know where I’d put it now. I don’t have a dedicated arctic area. Speaking of areas, I forgot to take a pic of the the divers: Just in case you were wondering, that mine chain is basically straight up and down. Not sure...

Very true. It isn't the same problem with the SC as the others. The SC is well proportioned, but I think they tried too hard to build some kind of value and an attachment to the toon to justify the cost of it being a Haslab at all. I would have been more open to backing it had they just gone...

Agreed. Even if I had a place for it (it would take up the entire shelf I have the 'Noks on right now), there is just something off about it. Same with the Snow Cat and AWE Striker - I think it's the proportions. It's a fine line and I can't quite even put my finger on it, but it's just not...

Do you have a feel for the popularity of this line? They certainly seem to be in better shape than the expensive cartoon line was.

I promised a pic when I got my (with gratitude) new toys all set up. This is my OG/early waves display area. Pardon the distortion. Needed to pano to get them all in. Oh, and yeah, that’s Hydra-Smasher in the back. I don’t have another spot for him right now as Joe has taken over!

I think she's a couple bucks less over there at WM too. I pointed that out to AMZ, who has updated their pricing to match WM in the past, but so far not for Armada, at least not that I have seen (dynamic pricing though, so who knows). The whole reason I wanted them to drop theirs is because I...

Yeah, neither seems to quite recapture it. Do you have a cad file that better matches the original AWE? I haven’t seen an 3D printed one out there for sale, but I haven’t really been looking.

Vamp Mk II and Clutch showed up unexpectedly today. I ended up setting up a previously emptied smaller shelf for them and added a number of other tan-ish clad figs together for a pseudo arid environment opposite the Stinger and the Cobra Troopers. It definitely helps to bring balance to the wall...

Yeah, I know I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing it was left out there for any lowlife to run off with. Shipping is so weird these days too, particularly with WM (though others aren't too far behind). I can have items from the same order show up from USPS, FedEx and some random with a car. So...

Got my Pulse notification that the VAMP II shipped. Should hopefully have it sometime next week!

Looks like my stickers came today. My wife sent me a pic of the envelope. I won't get to open them up until I get home tomorrow, but the seller and state address line up and the envelope doesn't appear to be mangled at all. I really wish stupid USPS would just get their act together on their...

I think Dawn's head would definitely work also, and would still be a more attractive look than the short haired version. In fairness, the short haired Jinx head is nicely detailed and does have a more Asian, "just after pulling off the balaclava" vibe. But it has some issues I couldn't get past...

As promised, here’s a pic of my upgraded Jinx with the new head and gear. I like this version a lot better. She looks way less butch, way more feminine and better represents my preferred portrayals from various media over the years. Not sure yet whether or not I will try to dull down the purple...

Speaking of eww, I forgot to mention (perhaps I was a little distracted) that I dropped by the one good WM in the general area that actually still carries some Joes yesterday while being over that way to vote. I got a first hand look at Psyche-Out, retro Crazy-Legs, the cyborg BAT guy (forgot...

I got back too late from a trip out of the office today to get them right at PO release, but I did go ahead and PO only Shippy and HV. I can wait for HB to drop a bit before buying him. I don't think I'll end up with Daina unless she drops below $20. Got to offset those $30 price tags somewhere...

Absolutely! There’s nothing quite like that squeaky rattle. And I didn’t realize just how roomy it is until I put Steeler in the hatch. It all but dwarfs him, while he’s standing up! I put rCG in the Armadillo and she all but disappears in it as well. No underscale vehicles this time around...

I am extremely happy to report that Operation: Mauler Labor and Delivery is a complete success! The box arrived in excellent condition (I think maybe you have discovered a new building system to replace concrete blocks! Rock solid.). With much patience and care, I was able to extract all the...

Sorry, yeah, I got turned around on the origin there. I think what I was awkwardly trying to communicate is that Duke was always too perfect and pretty in the art and cartoon (with the exception of the brief first introduction in the Marvel comic), but at the same time too plain and boring in...

It's true. He could definitely be his brother or cousin. I kinda feel like they've always struggled making a Duke action figure that actually captures the look of the original card art, or even the cartoon for that matter. Getting that blonde yet masculine look w/o the beard seems to be the...

I‘m very happy with “Rugged“ Duke, easily the best/manliest version ever. I jocked him up a little more with the helmet, NODs and eye pro, as well as swapping out the LMG for a lighter carbine. The lighter primary meshes with his kit way better, as that was what it was designed for with the...
