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

    I like it! Officially stolen!. She's a shadowy forward operative that has real skills in the undercover/intelligence gathering arts as well as solid combat skills. She is rumored within the rank and file of Cobra to have pre-cognitive abilities due to her ability to often predict enemy...

    Lol, I'm not even going to open those. I think I'm better off ignorant on her supposed backstory. All the whacky ninja stuff later in the comics left me liking everything comics/Joe a little bit less, so I think I'll Just Say No. :LOL: No need to ruin my limited by pleasant version of her.

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

    Wow, I didn't know or didn't recall that she had all that going on. Was there a comic or something like that? I just took her to be kind of a forward operating, clandestine operative that could be useful to gain intelligence in anticipation of an operation - kind of a Black Widow type. I've...

    Yeah, I still have more Cobras than Joes in my collection, though only by 2 now, and only until the pre-orders I have now come in. Then it'll finally be even. It just seems like generally there have been more good Cobra offerings than for the Joes, particularly early on. When I look over at my...

    The only question is when will you ever find the time to do all those customs? Early retirement? :LOL: I can't wait to see them if we're still around here by then! It's amazing that this place is still here at all... running on autopilot most of the time. As for next week's figs: one of the...

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

    I guess my FOMO was a little bit substantiated by the quick departure of the Serpents. I didn't expect them to go quite that fast though, since they were not exclusives like the Eels, and with their tiny heads :LOL:. I know they'll be back in stock at some point (and realize they may still be at...

    Lol, I talk a big game, but what did I do? I pre-ordered Snow Serpent and Grunt (was able to resist Low Light) on Amazon (free shipping at least), and pre-ordered Snow Job (shipping and all since he's only on Pulse). I figured with the time delay until they come in for shipping I can change my...

    https://toynewsi.com/278-48051 Surprisingly, I think that Snow Serpent is the weakest of the batch, despite all the gear (so much he couldn't possibly pack it all). For once I wish they had kept more to the original. He was nearly the perfect arctic trooper back in the day, came with plenty of...

    Since you mentioned the card, I glanced at it and now wonder what it's from. Did they make a Mickey Mouse O-ring CC as well?

    He’s certainly a good reproduction!

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

    I've checked them out and some of them do look pretty cool! I've even picked up a couple accessories to utilize in "finishing" out my Joes, and will probably continue to get the Vala parts I need on the secondary market. The only thing they are lacking is that genuine history I have with GI Joe...

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

    I guess having watched the videos released around the time of the polls, I'm a little more aware of the author's intent, despite the less than descriptive poll choices. The bottom line is that the JoeClass has had to become a combination of retro and modern/near future due to Hasbro truncating...

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

    You are absolutely spot on in my defaulting to wanting a more realistic, modernized Joe team for JoeClass. I know not everybody wants that, but I think there are a lot of us who do. Not scientific, and obviously a small sample, but just a snapshot of how the fandom (at least the ones motivated...

    I couldn't agree more that the armor/bolt ons for the HISS were lame, and actually made me less likely to support it. If they had taken the effort they - I'll say it, wasted - on that bolt on SuperHISS!!! crap and made a towable ASP instead, I would have been willing to even sacrifice one or...

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

    Well, that's disappointing. I was thinking it was you who called it, but I guess it was another guy (on youtube I think) that said the second unlock would be a girl, just like with the HISS. Maybe I'm uninformed, but I don't see how Glenda (never featured in any cartoon or comic) gets anybody...

    So apparently the free shipping for 24 hours is not true when part of your order is a pre-order (or something). So TR will sit in limbo until I need something else from Amazon. He's actually less of a priority for me than Torpedo now so he can wait. Dang I wish they had Torpedo... I'm glad I...

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

    I went ahead and pre-ordered the EEL to make sure it didn't sell out and added the stands to get free shipping. As long as TR drops within 24 hours I can get him shipped free too.

    Eel is up but won't let me cart it. Edit: Ok, it's in the cart. Just need Tunnel Rat to let me avoid shipping cost. I really wish Torpedo would pop up there too. Otherwise, I might have to suck it up and get him from BBTS for $30. :rolleyes: On a happy note, I found some pretty cool stands...

    Hasn't shown up on Amazon yet. Desert SE just appeared so it should be soon.
