It really does look bigger in the pics than in person, but yeah, I’ll probably end up swapping it out once I come across something good for Airborne. They should have given him the carbine they gave the CGs and made a proper one for them.

I got mail, and now she's assembled so, I present... Valkyrie. The AK is a little on the big side for her (not quite so imposing as the picture would imply), but I like the look. That said, I am tempted to replace it with the little carbine (not the cartoon gun she would have had in the set...

Makes sense. I typically have everything critical to me pre-ordered on AMZ anyway. And, I definitely don't mind when they mishandle stock and it ends up discounted at Ollie's. That suits me just fine! Maybe next time they'll have some of the more desirable figures.

I think you're right that it's their distribution for Joe specifically. Out of the (only) three retros I saw at my closest WM a couple weeks back, the same single Duke and Recondo still occupy the same two pegs in the exact location I left them. I've seen no non-retro, non-deluxe figures at my...

No kidding. The withdrawal is real and taking its toll. After weeks of trying to figure out the best way to execute it, I ultimately spent way too much today getting a Valkyrie buck and head and a Vala kit to make an "ultimate" Valkyrie. I'm excited to finally get this fig put together and added...

It is always sad when the modern version of a franchise is so bad that it diminishes the original... * also looks around at Indiana Jones, Marvel, DC, The Matrix, etc... *

It doesn't look very impressive from a display standpoint. How about for photography?

I saw the first three retros in the wild for the first time at WM yesterday. I got a little nostalgia from seeing them (not sure I ever actually saw an OG Scarlett on pegs back in the day), but not as much as I thought I might. While they are pretty awesome, and I would likely have picked up all...

Lol, yeah. Those two always kind of looked like a WWF (not E back in the day) tag team! I never had BB so Crocky (crikey!) mainly ran with the Dreadnoks in my Joeverse. So, over the weekend, my daughter sorted what 25th/ROC/POC/etc. figs I had left and sold them along with a bunch of old 12"...

Yep, filed electronically as early as possible. We get everything back though, due to a tax credit from our solar installation a couple years ago. I think they are either boggled by it or pissed by it, not sure which. Two (nearly impossible to get a human being and have it not disconnected)...

It has been a very quiet week. My regular YouTube source hasn’t uploaded his usual update for long enough now that I don’t even recall when the next supposed reveal is supposed to be. I’ve been pretty much laying low on any kind of searches, other than the usual daily scan of AMZ and Mercari for...

Likewise on the unlikelihood of my ever actually buying one of these, cool as they are. You can bet they all will be produced by Hasbro if the line continues to thrive anyway, and for a bit less. Not that I’ll be getting any vehicles anyway. Lol, my current display space is a single shelf in my...

Whaaaaaaaat? That’s pretty darn cool. I love the creativity and skill of these private fabricators. https://item.mercari.com/gl/m88562701574?sv=0 https://item.mercari.com/gl/m91423957539?sv=0

Crazy that they are now doing real work for Ukraine now - taking out Russian tanks at times and providing cover and ambulance for infantry. The problem with all AFVs is that they can't be as armed or armored as tanks and still do their job to carry troops significant distances. It's a tough call...

Yeah, that kind of came out of nowhere... I have no interest in the Ferret repaint. The more I look at it, the less I like the Ferret design in general. Are those street tires? :rolleyes: The original at least looked offroad worthy. The fig... I mean he looks kind of cool for a glaringly...

"Holy Toledo, Cleveland and Cincinnati!!!" While these aren't my cup of tea, I have a ton of respect for just how true they are to the source material. Here's hoping all the toon fans buy enough product to keep the line going, despite the stumble(s). It certainly seems like there is no better...

Nice! I'm glad you finally got a taste of that sweet Ollie's discount! I was surprised a couple weeks ago to still find some leftovers at an Ollie's in W'burg. They were all movie figs (and mostly the girls - ew :LOL:), but I thought they would have been finished off with the extra 15% off near...

I do recall classic BH having his pants low draped over his boots, kinda like old school paratroopers wore extra roomy jump/field clothing to give better range of movement and less over tightness with all their gear strapped on. I looks like retro BH has a little more than the CI, but it’s...

Skinny pants? Not sure what that means. As far as I can tell they are pretty common and partially to mostly shared with at least a few others. I do miss the camo though for sure. If I do get the retro to meld with, it'll be hard not to replace the pants, if not the whole base figure. He and FF...

Yep, so far I am resisting the urge on retro Beachhead. I may pick one up if I ever see him discounted enough, mainly to finish out an ultimate version like I've done with other favorites. As much as I love the classic version, this one doesn't bring enough new to warrant another pre-order...
