I don't know if I can get on board with O-ring figures, unless the packaging is top notch and I'll never open them. I still kept a set of the first few 25th anniversary waves MOC just for shits, I liked the silver foil cards.

Hmmm!! $12.93 a figure is kinda steep. $26.82 a vehicle.. same deal. At the 25th anniversary the figures were like $5 and the vehicles $15 right? GIJ RETRO FIGURE MANTIS SKU# 513900390 GIJ RETRO FIGURE DARKLING SKU# 233031189 GIJ RETRO FIGURE SCORPION SKU# 634866260 GIJ RETRO FIGURES...

BBI did a direct to consumer "specOps blackhawk" which was basically Pickelhaube's but for sell directly. I think it came out at $199 which was crazytalk to me, so I didn't buy one.. now they're like $600 or something ridiculous. Thankfully the one I got from you is pretty similar.

I am pretty sure the standard BBI Blackhawk was 4-bladed. I think the cheaper one was too, but I never had one of those.

Those look great! Man I love the M113, I need more of them!

If they make a Fennec Shand figure you'd be set.

That rose head looks tiny!! But good start

Feel free to post any of your customs, we always like seeing them. The 1:18 world isn't super busy anymore, due to a lot of reasons.. but customs are always welcome! I always wanted a 21st Stuka, but never got around to getting one back in the day :(

Paging Pickelhaube !

Haha where is my 1:18 TP!

Fuck I just saw this again and it triggered me something fierce. My own post! Fucking movie.

Niiice

I feel like I've only seen Retaliation once in theaters, I don't even own it, so maybe I'd like it less on repeated viewings. How you can have the ROCK and Bruce Willis in a movie and not have it be great is amazing. The Rock himself is like instant success. They must really suck. And yes...

Honestly, the A-Team movie from a decade ago was the best GI JOE movie I've seen. They felt like wacky, but plausible soldiers, who were doing stuff off the normal chain of command (in this case because they were framed for a crime they didn't commit..). Going with Rocket Powered SuperSuits...

I think it does matter if they're trying to re-invigorate the brand. NAM to us in the 80s was a real thing, a real place, a real incident you could tie these Joes to that made them "more real" than some fantasy like Transformers I guess. Obviously GI JOE vs COBRA is made-up, but all the MOS...

If I had an office in the house, or even a clear spot in the garage to set things up, I think I'd be a lot more compelled to keep stuff. Hell, even a display case in the house. But our current house is tiny and nerd/toys/etc is not allowed by the wife. I was hoping for Pickelhaube s Hind to be...

Of course I am in CA. The worst part about 1:18 is shipping it around, since everything is so big. We are moving soon, so I will be going through everything and deciding what I actually want to bother moving vs selling so I'll let you know, and probably update things (and maybe, finally get...

The race switching isn't super big to me, as Snake Eyes was always BLACK to me anyway as a kid (I only vaguely remember the Vietnam flashback comic where you see he was white). And anyway, he's half white (Dad was English). Also, the GI JOE origin stories don't really work anymore. Snake Eyes...

Yeah, we'll see. Hoping they do good. Ideally you'd have this movie focused on Snake Eyes and (I guess) Scarlet and probably Storm Shadow. Then have another movie that focuses on a couple other team members, and build up to a full team movie like AVENGERS or something. Realistically, only...

IT'S A WRAP!
