:sick: They made him so easy to pass on. Those Marauders and Sarge too… :poop:

Yeah, I will likewise likely have JCS figs and different scale planes, helos and other military vehicles set up in my home office (much like I do now) until the day I croak. If they have any inkling of interest, it'll likely come from that. I definitely see your point on them wanting something...

Lol, I know, right? Two of my daughters were the only ones with even a passing interest in GI Joe. My oldest daughter mainly enjoyed the lore of the the comics and would set up her favorites of my 25th, at attention on their stands on her shelves, mainly for display. My youngest liked to display...

Nice! You gotta love when parents understand that important events are happening that may change the course of history, so they can't be disturbed for inconsequential things like vacuuming and "clean rooms." :LOL: Most of the time my battles, at least anything of significance, happened on the...

It's the 3DJoes artwork one. I'd been putting off getting it with other bills and expenses popping up all year. So, when my wife was looking for something for her and the kids to get me, I thought immediately of that and let them gather the money so I could order it. I always thought GI Joe had...

Same on the Nicholson/Shipwreck thing. I never found the cartoon voice that close to Ol' Jack, but I had heard that he was the inspiration. I never liked the character that much, so I never dug in to it really. I think everybody had that friend/relative that more of the expensive Joes than we...

A short but interesting opinion on what determines GI Joe canon. Unlike (mainstream) SW, GI Joe had at least 2 very different streams of canon. What or who decides what is actual canon?: I wouldn't say this guy went super deep into the nuance, but I do think he does a good job bringing out...

Yeah, I remember them mentioning that in the video. He definitely stands out. I kinda feel like it makes the JCS and Retro lines work better as “separate but equal.” It seems like the latest round of retros have a little more of that cartoon brightness to them. Maybe a little inspiration from...

Agreed. That is likely why completing the OG has gotten little effort. He probably never had most of those “plain old green guys” in his own collection, thus no nostalgia. And he seems to have a lot of influence on what/who gets made. Of course that would discount the “he resents the...

https://toynewsi.com/278-53140 DF looks pretty cool, although I still feel like the tail is about 10% too small. Ripcord and Crazy Legs look awesome! WB looks pretty cool too, just wish he would have come with a flight helmet like he did in the 25th. Maybe he can use one from the Action Pilot...

So I finally took the opportunity to watch the Pulse Yo Joe June video. A couple new takeaways: 1. I like the guy that filled in way better than Whatshername, though apparently the retro line was "her idea." 😏 Also, they must have donut shops set up outside H'bro HQ or something. They all...

Right?

Actual GB toys from the original movie. https://toynewsi.com/278-53111 They look pretty awesome for O-ring at 3-3/4” scale. Looks like there’s an Ecto-1 as well.

Lol, reminds me of the good old days back on the ‘stank. “Real fans will buy everything Hasbro slaps a Joe brand on, no matter how bad or obscure, or we’ll never get this thing or that thing that you’ll actually like…” I like Lenny in general, certainly 1000x more than his partner in promotion...

Yeah, that seems like a skill that few have fully mastered, so having those done by automation ahead of time seems like an important perk. Anyway, I hope you didn’t get castigated over there on my account. Who knew fanboys could be so sensitive? :LOL:

Yeah, maybe Lenny is of the same vein of resenting the 86 as the replacement wave. Strange that they would go with Serpentor and Mindbender though, and even rumored Cobra-La, but purposely skip over the year that (certainly partially thanks to the momentum and remaining stock of the 85s)...

I figured the red was easily enough remedied with some blue paint, and a better starting point than an unpainted head. But, I don’t know much about the intricacies of that, so I was just genuinely curious. Seemed from the pic that replacing the red with blue and the skull with a Cobra logo, and...

What do you think about this fellow? Total play to customizers as fodder for a Hooded CC custom?

You’d have to think they are holding back any drivers of vehicles they may be considering for production. Seems like Cover Girl was a fluke, possibly since they “need more girls,” though they appear to underperform, if Ollie’s and Walmart pegs are a fair measure. I can’t imagine a Wolverine is...

Gotta celebrate the little wins!
