On a side note. Are there other heads that fit well on that Duke body, MR? Three pack Beachhead? Joe Trooper head (mohawk vers), and other decent looking ones...

Hell if I know. My order that I placed back in May has yet to even bother processing. In theory it's the Shock torso, but who knows. They sometimes retool them.

I'd like to know why everyone is going apeshit over the Combat Ninja from this wave...

I understand the movie-esque look to the figure, but it's pretty meh for me.

It looked better with all the black paint apps and sharper digicam. At least from what pictures I've seen. Since I don't have mine yet.

I love the movie trooper, I refuse to call him a ninja. I think I like the look so well because he is different from anything else (different paint, helmet). I plan on having them as a special force of Shock troopers. I will gladly pay cash to anyone who doesnt have a spot for them. The Cobra movie trooper has become my favorite Cobra army builder besides ST's, BATS and POC Blue Shirts.


Does anyone know if the color of this CC matches, or is close to the color of the 25th/SRO CC? I don't like his rocker ankles and will be switching them if so.

I will have to check now. This CC has become my go to version. I didnt think I would like the rocker ankles but after posing him on a uneven sidewalk for the pic I gotta say I am a fan of the rocker ankles now.

Any more releases of the ST practically in full are a good thing. The original had more paint apps, sadly H cut some of them.

Better than "Eat a sammich, bitch" fake-ass "Ultimate" Snake Eyes.

The camo is pretty weak. It's too sparse and lacks black. Apart from that it's a nice looking figure, I just have no use for it.

Three more figures sold out on HTS. Hopefully if a couple more sell out they will add more stock.

Agreed on the camo looking better in the proto pics. I have zero problem with creative use of the ST. If I still troop built I'd want tons of these.

Which ones?

They need to restock the combat ninjas, so I can get my hoard on.:)

Storm Shadow, Cobra Commander, and Blind Master all sold out since I looked yesterday. I'm thinking if 3 or 4 more figures sell out they would consider adding more if they can.

I'm really surprised Cobra Commander sold out. Most people shouldn't need more than one. I bought two extras for customs.

Do these new GI Joe men have a prayer in hell of arriving at retail, or is the internet the only way to get them?

TrU has been getting them, but it's not an every store thing.

Damn, alright, thanks for the head's up.

Yesterday at HTS, I managed to get the new CC, SS, Flint, Kwinn, Lady J, Dark Ninja, New Firefly and Budo.

No luck on Crimson Guard, Data Viper, Ultimate Duke or Night Viper.

HTS seems to be the least expensive route, but hell if I am going to get lucky enough to find those. When did HTS get them up on their site, anyway?

:pirate:

They've been added at least 3 different times this week. Crimson Guard and Duke are both available for long periods of time when they go up too. Data Viper and Night Viper have been the only two truly difficult ones to obtain.

I am just amazed that I've been able to not only see something listed on HTS that I even wanted, but that I was able to place an order...

Now if BBTS would process my fucking preorder that was made 4 months ago...

While I typical love rocker ankles, I hate how they look on CC...that does not look good at all...it looks unfinished...they needed to do what they did with the Joe troopers feet and put a cuff on them

Dude! Your telling me that digi camo pattern isn't sik?.

It would look awesome, if it wasn't blue... or at least not JUST blue...I like the idea, just not the execution...

I'm not a huge fan of the way it's done... I mean it's... purple? blue?... one color does not digi camp make. It just looks like the figure got in a purple paint fight.

Even if they hadn't deleted the rest of the camo pattern it still would have been useful in precisely 0 theaters of operation. ;)

I personally would have loved a Marine digi pattern like the one in our background but hey nobody is perfect.

Ugh, Can I just get a couple of those Rockblock M3s to hang on my Joe team Huey gunship? I don't care if they're anachronistic.

Hey, I like my Joes and Cobras to be unsuited to real environments. :D

The question now is, do I just wait until the Wave 4 shit comes in stock? Because I'm leaving town in 2.5 weeks and won't be back until the end of September, and don't want to risk them delivering it while I'm gone. Grr.

I dunno, if you're like me and the figures will probably stay in their boxes for a while, might as well wait it out.

This. Perfect PoL usage. If you still don't wanna wait for w4, ship your loot while you're still away and time it for when you get back. Then it's glad-to-be-home and big-box-o-toys all at once!
