That's pretty much exactly how it would go if I saw a retro Beachhead in the wild. I think I could hold out on the rest at the normal price. The probabilities would rise with the level of clearance price cutting though.

AMZ dropping some early BF specials: https://toynewsi.com/278-55747 Unfortunately for me they are either figs I already have, or the cuts are not deep enough to get me to bite for something I'm not all that interested in.

The more I think about it, the more appealing it would be to put together a seriously banged up, pieced together DreadBAT. The spare damaged head and chest plate area already in everybody's leftovers. Seems like getting ahold of chainsaw and flamethrower hands might not be all that hard...

I kinda like the idea of a few salvaged BATs being 'nokified and used as fodder by Zartan's gang. And I agree that environmental BATs do make sense (where factional does not), just like any other troopers. I suppose I just haven't seen any that they've made yet as worth adding to my collection.

Yep, I am definitely passing on the IG as a shock troop type as well. No way with that uniform. As an officer? Maybe someday, but I'll have to see how the retro/other IGs look first to decide if I will be pursuing anything IG besides perhaps Destro. IG BAT? No chance. I only have one BAT and...

Must be some Pats fans a Hasbro… 😆

Got Storm Shadow and Alpine this week and added them to the collection tonight. I really like them both! I also got a $25 gift card to AMZ today and promptly ordered a Low-Light. I‘m not crazy about him, but have determined that I will find a way to make LL great again! 😆

Dang, that's a great price for the Ultimates! I see what you mean about the O-ring pricing dilemma. Honestly, if they could have made the 5-POAs cheaper (and by that I mean somewhere around the sub $10 they are actually worth) from the start, they would have had a lot more flexibility on both...

That's a nice mix of nostalgia from the O-ring and joints with a beautiful cartoon upgrade. I wish it was more affordable though. I'm afraid the Super7 price point might exclude all but the most hardcore.

Finally! My improved "ultimate" Falcon: 1000% better with new head, a modern carbine, body armor kit (thanks, Nacho!), battle belt, modern helmet w/ goggles (hung from the battle belt so he can still sport his beret), added pistol/holster, pouch on the other leg and (you can't see it in the...

I love that they are doing the cartoon characters, but I haven’t a clue who Ramar and FF’s are.

I could see that fireman ending up on the trophy shelves in a few fire stations, but otherwise don’t see much appeal.

I was hoping to finally get some time on Falcon this week, but have been too busy otherwise to get to it. Looks like it will be a bit longer with some out of pocket time upcoming. Right now I'm supposed to be getting SS and Alpine around Thanksgiving and (if it's a legit date) Leatherneck and...

Yeah, I also have no direct nostalgia for HD. I think I just like the idea of he and RB opening up in tandem and sweeping the battlefield with really big, backpack/belt-fed heavy machine guns, kinda like the marines in Aliens I guess. Isn't he supposed to be RB's cousin too or something? I...

CI Roadblock makes a great base for a more interesting Heavy Duty in my opinion. He looks different enough from the original to totally be a different guy. And if you don't care for the Aliens/sci fi/futuristic guns he and original RB come with, RB can have his classic M2 Browning and HD can get...

That's definitely a step up from the movie. I could almost get behind that: Mindbender and company meddling with clone tech, trying to create better Cobra troops and leaders. That could account for a lot of the weird in the line actually. Clone tech has come a long way since the 80's, but it is...

Yep, no chance I buy NE or anything Cobra La, with the very unlikely exception of if somehow they make the Royal Guard look “normal” enough to be some kind of up-armored hostile environment shock trooper. That was how I used them back in the day, while Globulous and Nemesis stayed in the Joe fig...

You just can’t beat those for cartoon accurate recreations! Very cool!

Hmmm. I guess I was aware they were about to drop some more reveals, but kinda forgot about it after the underwhelming last one. First impressions from here: Blowtorch: He’s probably the one I’m most on the fence about. There’s not much use for a flamethrower on the modern battlefield, but he...

Since I know nacho was asking for it... 3D printed... on Mercari: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m29701305057/ :fuckit: I'd give him an A for effort, not so much for execution. Not sure if there's a market for that one though.
