    Yep, I got the rocket launcher hung in the right spot, which works because Bazooka is firing his, to it's not completely obvious they are the same. And I suppose who says both Joe and Cobra couldn't be using a Gustaf as their man portable rocket launcher. He's still a well outfitted fig (and...

    I got my (deluxe :rolleyes:) Snow Serpent on Tuesday and finally got a moment to open the package yesterday. Honestly, not a bad figure. His head is not as tiny looking in person, particularly with the extra goggles atop his helmet(?). I'm completely not using the wolf gear or the snowboard or...

    I stopped by my Ollie's over lunch today and saw nothing new on the JoeClass front. My Ollie's actually does have a pretty substantial stock room so: ...there's a chance. :p

    I swung by a different WM from my usual one. This one has had no regular JoeCS figures since movie figs clogged the pegs months ago. To my surprise they had five retro CGs as well as usual retro peg warmers Gung Ho and LJ. They also had a half dozen green pants SEs. Still no regulars though...

    Congrats on the anny! Sorry Ollie’s didn’t give you any surprise presents. If they have a huge supply of the movie figs, it may be holding up anything else from using that shelf space, since it seems nearly impossible to tell the cases apart from each other. You see the new comic? I saw a...

    Lol, I've seen exactly one! I will wait and see if this round and the previous one of WM exclusives ultimately makes their way to my new favorite Joe store before I decide if I have use for any of them. I'd imagine it won't be for a while, but with other figs clogging up pegs, who knows? In the...

    I happened to find myself near a different Ollie's today, and so naturally had to go check it out. I found quite a supply of the movie figures, like at least a half dozen cases. I also found two+ cases with just T & Xs and two Zaranas. Oh, and a bunch of the 4" HISS tanks (at least ten of them)...

    So I swang by Ollie’s after work and found the same cases in the same spot on the palette near the back of the store. I did see a fella who had the last Tomax and Xamot, so that was the last of the non-movie figs on the shelves from that batch. I hovered around for a minute and made my way back...

    I'm starting to think my Saturday trip was particularly fortunate, as it was much different yesterday. I'll give it a run today to see what was in those cases (if there is any left of it), but won't likely be doing more than a weekly drive by after that, unless something remarkable happens. Is...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    Odd. I still see them at $59. I do see Kamakura and the Blue Ninjas at prime exclusive discounts. Sorry, Amz. That's not gonna get me to sign on. :LOL: I've scratched my Viper (and CG for that matter) itch pretty well so I'm already a happy panda on that. But there's still no telling what I...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    I swang by Ollie’s this evening with hopes of finding Fortnight SE and Sgt. Slaughter (which I saw in a video were supposed to have been found at some Ollies’) in the wild. I probably would have picked up the Sarge for the reported $13 price tag and would have had to decide if FN SE had anything...

    Ok, here it is all put together, with Grunt’s Steel Brigade head as a placeholder until I get ahold of Shippy’s: I’ll be honest. If Steel Corps figs looked more like this, I’d be a lot more interested.

    Ok, cool. I think my wife has some version of that. I’ll check back here next time I delve this deep into customizing.

    Not completely dry yet, but here’s how it looks so far (I went ahead and painted over the symbol): I’ll take him to work with me Monday and get him kitted out. Then it’s just waiting for a decent price on a Shipwreck head. My favorite source on Mercari says around Halloween or Thanksgiving...

    Lol, oh. I just sprayed them with the Testors 😝. I also need direction on the isopropyl. I swabbed the symbol and it seemed to do nothing but wet it. I’ve got the legs replaced and did a test run with Stalker’s head, so I just need to finish up with the boots and get to my kits and weapons at...

    If you still need cheap fodder, get to Ollies pronto! It happened. Looks like mine had Stalker, the twins, Dusty, CG and Zarana + the full movie lineup. I decided to go with movies SE top and Stalker legs for Shippy. Can you believe they had Testors flat black model paint just hanging out by...

    That’s a nice version too. I wonder what they did for the watch cap.

    Cool! Thanks for the tips on the alcohol and the heat. I'll be using a hair dryer (I know, I'm a noob) for a little longer to get things to soften up, or, if that doesn't quite do it, there's the boiled water idea I saw posted on HT. I used the hair dryer with Cover Girl successfully a while...

    G.I. Joe Classified Series (1:12)

    I'm looking at maybe giving it a shot with a combo of this: with the torso up of Movie SE: which appears to have a more similarly sized neck joint. If I can find my way back over to Ollie's and pick up an SE for $5, I'll likely start the journey and go chasing the legs and SW head. It's...

    Lol, I just came to the exact same conclusion, as I finally got to open my TR tonight. 😕 Cool fig, but tiny. Back to the drawing board... Now I’m hoping for a compatible (Hasbro 😡) night force Beachhead, something akin to this: A JoeClass version of this would make a great tactical body for...
