That's a tough call. It would be pretty impressive to recreate something familiar, and might be a little easier the first time out. But that leaves less creative input, so yeah. Weird that that just showed up in my youtube feed. Big brother is always reading(?) I suppose...

Somehow this popped up in my feed. It's pretty well done for having limited resources. The vehicles are obviously the weakest part of it, but it definitely recaptures the spirit of the cartoon with pretty good use of Joe CS figures.

That would be epic! But I'm sure it would be a ton of time and work to put together.

That's awesome! Don't get me wrong, I think the S7s are great, particularly when compared against their 4" Reaction offerings. I'm glad they are being made, and think $25/fig is a great price for all that cartoon goodness! There's just no way I could justify double that cost per fig vs. the...

I finally got a chance to open up and display my Crimson AV yesterday. He looks really cool, but came with a slightly bowed left leg. I've been pretty lucky on the quality control throughout, so I guess I was due for a less than perfect specimen. I also got my shelves and assembled those last...

Stopped by another Ollie’s in Williamsburg tonight and found the same result as the last couple with lots of movie figs for $5 and a couple cases of LJs for $13 each. So it seems the $13 price for those is not an error. Not sure why they want LJs shelf warming there too, but that’s what is...

So I'm not actually looking for the MAC-10 for Mutt. While it was iconic back in the 80's, I was purposely searching out the MP7 for it's current/near future epicness for Shockwave. While his pistols are great fall backs, he needs a modern CQB primary that has the right mix of accuracy and...

I forgot to mention I ordered a better primary weapon for Shockwave. I ordered this pretty nicely detailed MP7: I think I'll give Mutt one of his machine pistols since that is the closest thing we've gotten to Mutt's original MAC-10. I'll have to see if any of the suppressors we've gotten so...

I found a closeout on a version of those mini-shelves for a little less than half the price so I jumped on it! I also did my Mutt preorder to get free shipping, so I'm all set on my favorites, at least until the Airborne and 60th POs drop. If somehow Pulse were to put the VAMP (very doubtful...

Yep, that's my version of Helix too. I just wasn't all that impressed with the final product over what was shown in the renders. If she makes it to discount, I'd pick her up, but the other four figs from that wave jumped ahead and I hit the psychological $100 barrier on the wave preorder. And...

Noice! Ironic that you ended up with a Helix and I didn't! Buzzer looks legit! I'm not due to get him until January (though all the deliveries from AMZ have moved up to well ahead of their estimates lately). Chuckles looks Boogaloo ready! He was sporting that Hawaiian shirt before it was trendy!

Unsurprisingly, nothing new at Ollie’s or Walmart. Same peg warmers as have been there for a few weeks now. The only surprise was happening across Ultimates SE and BAT in the little collectibles section at Walmart for the low low price of $55 each. Yeesh. Cool, but not $55 cool. Easy pass for...

Got my notice that Walmart has shipped my Crimson AV. Supposed to arrive tomorrow, so that should be fun. I'm planning stop by Ollie's and my local WM today to see what's new. Most likely nothing, but I still enjoy the hunt. You'd think the exclusive zombie themed wave should be dropping soon...

Lol, if I had your collection(s) and access to a virgin storage unit, I'd be really tempted to go full GI Joe room - Joe CS on the end, 25th on one side and vintage on the other. I'd be spending a lot of time at "work" putting it all together and just manning a hands free cell phone to make and...

Sarge has made it into the display. It wouldn't be right to burden him with no stinkin' commie AK (C'mon Hasbro, duh...), but the cartoon laser rifle suits him, since... well... he basically is a cartoon...

I totally get the nostalgia buy of Clutch/VAMP. I never had the original and do remember playing with the Mark II, but don't believe I ever owned one (or if I did, it was for a short time - I did a fair amount of trading). I did have the Stinger and liked it pretty well, but it wasn't one of the...

So it seems the VAMP dropped for pre-order while I was away this weekend (naturally). I thought I would be more excited for it than I am. It looks pretty good and Clutch looks great, but I think the fact that it's $100 and Pulse exclusive is dampening my interest. That means pretty much no deals...

No joy at two more Ollies’ in southern OH on my way home today. No more Sarges and no FN SEs. Both had plenty of movie figs and LJs and one had a few Zaranas as well, but neither had any other standard figs Apparently Hasbro in all their wisdom has produced full cases of just LJ (in addition to...

So I found myself in an Ollie’s in Toledo, OH this morning and came across a case and a half of Sgt. Slaughters. I picked one up for $13 - 15%. They also had quite a few movie figs plus most of a case of LJs mistakenly marked at $13. No wonder they have stuck around. I’ll likely hit a couple...

I’m glad to hear he is a solid figure in person. It definitely is an odd choice to make the effort to give him such a good head sculpt. He looks good in all the aftermarket pics I’ve seen, and reminds me a little of cartoon (porkchop sandwiches!) Blowtorch. As I’ve said before, I think they...
