I was at another Walmart yesterday and they had the same movie figs as I’d seen at the other one: 3 SEs and 2 SSs. I’m thinking that must be what they get in a case (wave 1?). No Red Ninja, Scarlett, Kareness or that other chick. Maybe those are in movie wave 2 or later?
Interesting... That's a pretty good (rumored) selection of characters! Still, the Cobra/Joe ratio is surprisingly Cobra heavy. Seems reversed vs. the OG. I suppose Cobra always did have some of the coolest characters, but still...
Croc Master - unless they somehow cool him up (like make him...
Last night I pulled 3 movie SEs and 2 SSs down from atop a shelf at Walmart. I looked for a minute and decided again that I have no use for either. Neither look terrible nor great. They fall square in the middle of not retro enough or interesting enough to stand on their own. I was hoping there...
Back to our weapons for RB topic. I saw this and thought of you:
Gi-Joe Classified 3D Retro 50 Cal on Mercari
Seller has the original Viper rifle and the cartoon Cobra and Joe laser rifles for sale. Good stuff for the retro fan for sure!
Until now I hadn’t thought much about it since my daughter asked about reading the full series after inheriting my approximately half of the series hard copy collection. I found her the series online. I can’t remember if it had anything more then the Marvel run. I might try to find it again...
My oldest daughter (the avid reader) read through the entire series last summer online while we were on vacation in Myrtle. I glanced at it a little then, but haven’t really read through it any time recently. Honestly, I’m afraid my adult brain will pick it apart and leave me without the mostly...
Dang! I could have sworn that was the new deco. I had to check with my daughter (who read through the series last summer - 30 years more recently than I did 😝), but you are 100% right! I mixed it up with the revenge raid to get Zartan.
That one was always my favorite because that's when he was the best detailed (IMO) and had returned to fight alongside SE again. Together, they were unstoppable. The raid on CI together was one of my favorite storylines from the comics. They cut through troopers like scythes!
I could stand for...
Wow, I didn't realize there were that many exclusives. I've only pursued the Target ones. Yeah, the previously rare Vipers, CI Troopers and Baroness have all been available since I ordered my FF. Seems like they must have been stuck on the cargo ships off the coast for a while or something. I...
Agree totally. I wish they had OG and Modernized running concurrently. Even it was just a couple released at a time, say OG/Modern Duke, OG/Modern RB and OG/Modern Destro, then 3 more 6 months later. Their mixing versions with different figs makes them hard to team up and display together and...
I thought he came on the scene really quick and easy by current GIJC standards! Too good to be true I guess. I wonder if they had inventory problems like everybody else. I hope your RB comes in the not too distant future.
I am really Jonesing for more Joes 'cause mine are outnumbered. Too many...
Even the M2 doesn't really make sense unless he's posted up somewhere with a tripod. The most legit gun they ever gave him was that silver MG with the neon green vest version back on the day. I never much cared for that version of RB, but at least he was more mobile (and his head was not quite...
I had forgotten about that one. I wish they would have given him a reasonable M240 type LMG rather than that Corps looking cheapo minigun. That would have looked 100% better than the gun they gave any version they have released so far.
Love the creativity! I think you need to get those cartoony figs to compliment it though. Are those the 7” ones? There are suddenly so many I can’t keep them straight.
