Agreed. It definitely looks like the Super 7s give you that cartoon nostalgia buzz AND offer a quality product. Not crazy about the price, but at least they give you a lot more for the money.

I got a look at a few of those ReAction figures in person tonight. Wow. I couldn’t be less underwhelmed. Who would pay $17 for a cheesy colored 5 poa 4” cartoon figure with next to no accessories, especially when the 6” highly articulated and accessorized Classified figs are just $3 - $6 more? I...

Lol, so you’re the one... :p I was wondering why GI Joe had recently gained such momentum! Keep at it so the line can keep rolling!

As of now, I’m getting a little excited to get Spirit and SS, which both look great, if a little (more retro and) out of place amongst most of the previous figs in the line. I found a pre-order at GameStop, which claims they will be shipped on/around 2/1. If that happens, I’ll be thrilled, as...

T&X look good and are likely a yes, but only work if they release some CGs (which would make more sense over Viper variants at this point - are those the same sculps? They look different in the pic than the one I have.). I also have no need for goldy. Stalker looks to be a definite yes. That...

Wow! I had no idea those were in that kind of demand. Rich comic fans?

I have zero idea what a reasonable number is for this kind of thing, but I’ll take a wild guess of $10K.

Sgt, It's funny that you mentioned 21st Century as their 1:6 scale offerings were some of the first collecting I did as an adult, the first time I ever collected 12" action figures. It was them, a few of the early 2000's GI Joe 12" figs, some World Peacekeepers and even a couple of the pricier...

Wow, you are just a few weeks(?) ahead of me! I was born 12/74 and have a very similar story, also growing up in the glorious 80's and revisiting collecting in my late 20's. I'm probably more of a pure Joe/military toy fan as I only ever had a few Transformers and zero MOTU toys, and never took...

I've been seeing a lot of listings for the BAT and Alley Viper up on Mercari and eBay. They seem to have potentially leapfrogged over the Spirit/SS wave. Has anybody run across them in the wild?

I think your observation on the impact of having vehicles to use with the figures making a big difference in playability is spot on. The 6” figs display better, but there’s a reason the 3-4” figures have been the standard since SW set the bar back in the late 70’s and GI Joe raised it in the...

I guess I didn't mind the original colors of Flint's pants. I remember there being brown, but I always considered it the secondary color, and thus not clashing too much with the black shirt/beret. I did, however change out that shotgun to Airborne's carbine. A team leader in the field needed a...

I like your idea with Flint if you didn't care for the camo pants. Thinking back, I may have gotten TF Flint at some point, as I'm sure I probably wore the heck out of the original one and he looks familiar. I believe I had a PP Viper at some point as well. I probably got him due to the limited...

Oh, that's out of the blue. I have no use for a TF Duke w/ or w/o a repainted bike (or anything TF or PP for that matter). Back in the day I did end up with a "Tigerfly," but that was only because I had never gotten the real one... and I could barely stand it then. That sucker had a lot of...

Truly.

I wonder though, with the precedent of the original artwork, if maybe 6" Retro could potentially buck the trend on the cardbacks and keep one style or just have simple variations, like the originals did with the later digital "explosions." As for number of waves for Joe, I suppose it will...

Agreed. I won't get my hopes up. I am not jonesing for the retro deco that much and, honestly, I never expected Classified to be as decent as it is. If 6" Retro somehow turns out awesome, and priced like Legends and Classified, I'll be on it. Otherwise, Classified is scratching the itch pretty...

Yeah, I could see that happening, particularly if they come in at the Classified price point and offer retro cardbacks with the original art and detailing. If they have the original filecards and previews on the back as well, it's pretty much a no brainer for any Joe loving 80's kid with the...

So this was on my YouTube feed today. Nacho, you got any insider info? I know this is right up your alley...

I’d be down with a good slot armor kit to modernize that puppy if someone were to offer one at a reasonable price.
