    Official Figure Pic One-Shot Thread

    I loved me some Buck Rogers (and Erin Gray) back in the day!

    1:18 scale Stryker is done and ready for pre-order!

    Are you planning to do the other versions of the Stryker (Dragoon, AGS)?

    Love it! That is so cool!

    1:18 scale Stryker is done and ready for pre-order!

    Yeah, it does look very cool! Likewise, I couldn’t justify spending that much except to get my “holy grail,” the A-10.

    Inside the Toy Biz

    Well, sort of, but we have this thing now called technology. I can go to the kiosk right there in the toy section and it will tell me at least which aisle the GJC figures are supposed to be located. From there it's simply walking down the aisle and looking between the other 6" figures to find...

    Lol, it is funny that the teenage nerds’ dream looks so frumpy yet still disinterested... :laugh:

    Inside the Toy Biz

    Yeah, the one my daughter has is the ESB cloud city version. She's not ugly, just tiny. I told my daughter, "Well, Carrie Fisher was pretty small in real life, so maybe that's why..." :p It's always hit or miss with female action figures. Like you said, they turn out fugly way more often than...

    Inside the Toy Biz

    I agree that Joe (and the original Xfrmers) are what built Hasbro and got them enough capital to weather the lean times. I wonder, though, if H'bro just underestimated the demand for GJC. If they are already issuing muted versions of the early waves, I wonder if maybe, just maybe, they'll see...

    Inside the Toy Biz

    That was very informative. It is more than a little annoying that Hasbro didn't use the extra profits from not having the royalties to provide more stock on the shelves. That is the worst thing about the Classified line: no product on the shelves because what little was produced (particularly...

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

    Yeah, those are cool! I have no use for the scarves, but otherwise pretty epic! I've given up trying for the Tarjay version and hope they give them the same treatment as the Troopers. I have one of those pre-ordered (for *gasp* retail price) along with Flint and LJ from one of the online...

    1:18 scale Stryker WIP

    Lol, I'm not sure why they do it only in the solid forest green either, but I've never seen it altered from that, not even for Iraq.

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

    Looks awesome! I realize you were going for "classic," but you gotta get him something besides that circa 1978 UZI. I really miss his green submachinegun. Too bad they didn't make him a futurized version like say a Kriss Vector in OD green... That would be an even better fit than the MP7 that...

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

    Yep, the employee theory is also backed up by both times I’ve looked at the stores. When I looked up the figs on their inventory stations, they reported multiple available (with 0 in back). The employees may be stashing them until closing, buying them at a discount and scalping them at a $100+...

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

    Well, I stopped by my local Target (which I have no use for otherwise) this morning for the release of the Viper and Firefly and found zilch. Two other dudes also lurked by. Here’s hoping they were filthy scalpers coming up dry. Stupid Hasbro shouldn’t do exclusives at all, let alone with way...

    Most Wanted Modern Armor

    The upgraded Dragoon Stryker with the turret and 30mm cannon might be pretty cool.

    Most Wanted Modern Armor

    (I should have finished my statement) ...but I’d much prefer to have your time kept available for developing an A-10... Modern armor has a few (though likely costly by this time) options out there already. A legitimate A-10 is virgin territory for 1:18 scale. :D

    Most Wanted Modern Armor

    Heck, I’d be happy if I could send my original BBI/WP Abrams, LAV and Bradley to you for a modern paint/armor makeover!

    1/18th Scale Stug IV

    Hmm, I wonder if he could print parts to help reduce the hours needed... I like where this could be going... :D

    1/18th Scale Stug IV

    That Blackbird looks cool! I love the idea of the 3D printing to save on fabrication time, but (like you said) you can't beat Pickel's museum quality finishing!
