I can’t see the B.E.T. or a vehicle repaint being popular enough to reach a goal. I feel like it has to be an original, main line vehicle, something apparently on the “big” side. I’m definitely leaning toward the Snow Cat to conveniently compliment the Pulse exclusive Snow Job. It will likely...

I was wondering if the [Snow?] Cat’s out of the bag or Solar Flare had any significance.

Looks like a puzzle to figure out the next JoeClass Haslab offering: https://toynewsi.com/278-47315

It's like the OG 13 reuse of heads, only a bit more convincingly... :LOL:

Massive improvement! Now I just need to catch a sale on Falcon and Dusty/his head!

Dude, that sounds very doable! Thank you for the primer and link! I’ll work on collecting the parts and then give it a go.

I was looking toward putting together a decent Falcon next and came to the realization (yeah, I'm slow sometimes) that a Dusty head with significant camo wouldn't work well with his non-camoed, sleeves up arms hanging out there. So that really leaves only the acetone option. I'm willing to...

Well, that’s good news. Not sure if it was customer pressure or all planned though. I wonder if there was a planned changeover that required some downtime or something like that. In the meantime, Hasbro “goes green.”

So I brought Cover Girl home and checked with my daughter about swapping heads. She was cool with it, so I went to work. You already knew this, but the neck ball is a barbell, so I used a blowdryer to heat them up and removed them from the necks along with the heads. With a little perseverance...

I could see some kind of running improvement, but just doing the exact same thing three different ways seems pretty dumb. Of course, when has Hasbro ever done things in a way that benefits both them and their customers?

Right? Hasbro designers must have moved over from government contracting or something... :p

Update: I just found pics of the neck balls for each. I think the CG and Movie Scarlett are more similar than the JoeClass version: That said, I'm still not sure if they are close enough to not require any modification.

Well, that sucks... If the head hole were larger I'd just pack it with tape or something. I pulled up a pic of the hole in CG's head, but I can't tell which way it goes, based on the neck ball pics I found of SE Scarlett. I made a gentle attempt at removing the head of my CG to compare the...

I was not aware of that. What sort of modifications would be needed to make the SE Scarlett head work on what you know of as the regular JoeClass neck?

I was also thinking about replacing CG's head. I don't hate it, but I think I might do SE movie Scarlett's head for her. It's different enough from JoeClass Scarlett, "pretty" enough to pass for a "former model" and certainly looks better than the 'Karen' looking head she came with. I'll check...

I guess I was just thinking the crown or torch and maybe a printed backdrop of some kind. Creating the entire statue to scale never crossed my mind. That would be ambitious for sure! :LOL:

Sounds like you have good ideas for the most often used backdrops. I suppose anything outside of the HQ’s (stationary or mobile) could just be something akin to the relatively generic... unless you do the iconic movie opening at the Statue of Liberty.

Totally agree that the Super 7s aren't direct competition to the JoeClass line, except for in the case of those of us that can really only (barely) justify spending on one line of Joe stuff and have to choose. And the only way they'd be competitive for me would be if they did away with all the...

I wonder, with the slow pace and high cost, will the line continue when the numbers come in from the early batches? Like do you have any of these in hand right now, or is the first wave still "on the way?" Are they truly worth the $50+ as figures? Do you feel like there are enough Joe cartoon...

Those are really cool! I see what you are saying about the Baroness though. I’d imagine only the completists will buy the blue one now, especially at the cost of these.
