I'm hoping that several outlets have better "real" BF deals than these pre-BF BF-sales. Or cyber monday, which is often better than BF. They desperately want to turn November into a giant sales event. As a good consumer, I have little issue with that other than the fact that I end up spending...

Oh, and I failed to mention that I found a retro blueshirt at WM yesterday... the lone remaining figure from that wave, otherwise I'd not have known it was ever there. Of course I bought it like a sucker.

Yeah, I saw those when camelcamelcamel alerted me to some of the ML Zabu wave figures I need are on sale. (I only liked half the wave and refuse to pay full price for figs I don't want just for the BAF parts). I agree, the Joe part of the BF sale is pretty lackluster. I did get an extra...

Now that I think of it, I might just make one from a PP BAT I bought for fodder. I could dye the pants and torso back to black, and I'd likely paint the boots something besides day-glo yellow anyway, something more of a dreadnok motif, like burgundy or pepto-green. And I'd use a battle damaged...

I'm with you on the BATs.... mostly. I do not like the Crimson BATs, Python BATs, or the IG BATs... they should be for the primary use of basic Cobra, and I don't want to see them bastardized for every sub-faction. From a fictional world standpoint, it just dilutes them into being very...

So I had planned on skipping the IG... mostly because he's SUCH a departure from the classic ARAH look that he seems like a no-brainer for a retro figure. I'd rather get a few of those for my Destro army instead. This one gives me Wave 1 "we're-trying-something-new" vibes...

They're based in RI, so the closest NFL team is definitely New England. I have no doubt there are plenty of Pats fans in their offices. But the weird part is how little they even tried to hide the inspiration. If I'm Rodney, I'm suing for illegal use of likeness. Maybe they thought the...

I got SS v2, but I haven't opened him yet... gotta find time for the skirt-ectomy and to take the black off the shin parts (or paint white over it). Alpine looks like a solid figure, but I CANNOT get over the fact that he's clearly Rodney Harrison. And I h-a-t-e the Patriots and Rodney Harrison.

I think the retailers like Target wouldn't stock Joe figures priced under $15. Their margins would be too small to justify the shelf space over something else that might move more volume like another peg of wrasslin guys or another big rubber Godzilla/Kong figure. So that's likely why the 5PoA...

Are they high? Yes. But the fact that the o-rings cost the same as a 5PoA ReAction is pretty surprising. I think S7 knows they have a price problem. They can't make an o-ring figure cost the same as a classified figure, but they also can't make them cheaper than their gimpy kenner-esque...

I mean, LOOK at that... if it doesn't stir up the feels, there is no hope. MOGA - Make O-ring Great Again! :LOL:

I didn't have a stroke... I did unbox my dragonfly eventually. It's yuuuuuuge. Actually, it's not much larger than the BBi helos, but the canopy is larger and the weapon systems are absolutely massive. It's clearly "joe scale", but I really like it, even if I don't know where it's going to...

It's not worth it... but I bought one anyway... because I'm a sucker for the figures. :grumpy:

$80

My enthusiasm has turned to disappointment. Upon closer examination, the HISS is stupid-small. The Kre-O HISS was too small for mega figures, and it was 21 studs long. This HISS looks to be 15 studs long, a full 30% smaller than the Kre-O. It's chibi nonsense. :mad: If it weren't for the...

IT'S HAPPENING!!!!! Goes on sale on November 15th at 12 pm EDT only on MattelCreations... $81. The vehicle scale is a bit small, and the HISS tank gives me Kre-O vibes, so that's not ideal. Definitely like my custom HISS tanks better in that regard, as they're nearly as large as the OG...

Ramar is the huge conan-looking guy in the bondage gear (voiced by Peter Cullen) that Duke fights in the "Arena of Sport" during the MASS device mini. Fatal Fluffies are the Gremlins-ripoff monsters in the Pyramid of Darkness mini that the Dreadnoks unleash on the Joes up on the space station.

I got the first wave of ReAction+ a couple of weeks ago, and I cannot overstate the toony nostalgia rush they induced. I want to pump it into my veins. Having them in-hand was very different than looking at pics on the interwebs. Still fighting the urge to collect a MOC set. Sure, the twins'...

Without shipping notice or tracking info, my Dragonfly magically appeared this morning. I'll bust it open tonight and snap some pics.

Those pics made me realize it's just black snowjob, and there might be some potential for a Marvel issue#2 Snake Eyes custom. I know his parka was technically dark blue, but so was SE because they can't render black detail in CMYK printing. So I might get one to try that deco... if Hasbro...
