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

    Nah, haven’t you heard? That’s the old GI Joe! The new GI JOE is an international team of elite special operatives using their talents, training and the latest technology to fight a snake themed terrorist group/hostile island nation and anyone else who “disturbs the global peace.” As for the...

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

    Well, if you take a look at such weapons as the P90, F2000, and ARX, and a lot of the newer mag fed shotguns, they all look pretty nerfy. Polymer is the present and the future. But I do get what your saying as well. I guess I want the new hotness with just enough homage to the original to make...

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

    Lol, I read you. I’m just much more about getting a modernized version of my favorites (with lots of cool accessories) over just a scaled up version of the original. To each their own.

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

    I figured it was something like that. The more I look at him and the other upcoming releases, the less I like them. They seem to have fewer details and accessories than the earlier batches.

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

    Well, that’s a surprise. That RB is the best yet. I’d buy him for retail if I ever see him (didn’t see him on Amazon). BBQ is an easy pass. That’s the kind of fig Target should be getting. As cool as the new one looks, I have no need for another SE. Breaker w/ RAM looks cool, but I’ll never pay...

    G.I. Joe 3.75" ReAction figures by Super7

    Pretty sure that’s a great big pass for me.

    Cool! Looking forward to seeing your improvements!

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

    I got Flint, LJ and the Trooper recently as well. I like all three pretty well. Like you said, fairly true to the originals, which is good and bad. I was never a fan of LJ's spears as her primary weapon. I'm not sure what they were going for with her weapon system on this. I just set her up...

    Very cool!

    Busy? Bogus! He’s a union guy! 😝

    Takara Transformers

    Anybody still in touch with him? I still miss the volume of fun content he used to bring around and the occasional silly banter.

    Custom kit for BBI Elite Force LAV-25

    Nice! Have you considered fabricating a slat armor kit for the LAV? That would be a cool add-on that would help modernize the vehicle.

    Wow! They must be Japanese... :p

    *NEW STORY* - Indiana Jones: Date With Destiny

    Nice! I'm digging the franchise crossings (within the same time period)!

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

    I just got the notice of these from BBTS and EE, and, yeah, I‘m not ready to replace SE or Scarlett, or to add that (boring) SS, Baroness or whoever-that-Asian-girl-is. That Scarlett’s outfit looks more like movie LJ’s. She’s not bad, but the current Scarlett is a better tribute to the original...

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

    Good thing I am not all that interested in him. Still hoping for a main line Viper though. Still waiting for my Flint, LJ and Cobra Trooper that are pre-ordered too. I'd probably pick up a Firefly if I see one for something less than 2x retail. At least the exclusives/scalping/price gouging is...

    GIJoe - Lady Jaye Series coming to Amazon

    I was trying to come up with another actress that could do the tough yet feminine persona of Lady Jaye. So far coming up short with only Asian (Ming Na Wen coming to mind) and Latina (MR) actresses doing that kind of thing right now. None come to mind that fit her Caucasian-ness (Welch heritage...

    Inside the Toy Biz

    A pretty good (though concise) comparison of Hasbro and Mattel as businesses from a channel I enjoy watching. The only thing I disagree with is his assertion that GI Joe has not been significant for "like 50 years now." If he said 30 years, maybe. But I would say the fact that they made two...

    GIJoe - Lady Jaye Series coming to Amazon

    Maybe they'll get the same actor. She was pretty solid as an action hero actress in Joe, Wick and AoS as I recall.
