ohhh lol! I found it funny enough stand-alone to quote it but I think deep down my brain got the reference, couldn't put my finger on it.

I'd settle for Ninjago-style plastic chains, but keep 'em consistent through the figure. Static rubber chains have got to be on my "toy pet peeves" top 5.

The mismatched chains is a real turn-off. They couldn't figure out how to do real chains on the cape?

Oh and I forgot about "Snow Bunny Baroness" (cringe) rumors. For a while some of us were ruminating over whether or not she would come with the Arctic Hiss. Now that we know that isn't happening, would be great to see a snow Baroness announced to release, presumably around that Hiss window...

I'm the one stirring the pot because I'm procrastinating things I should do talking about toys with you fine folk. Even if I wanted to be productive with toys and, say, take pictures of my favorite Joes of the year with all the gear swaps I've done, I'm too lazy, would rather talk about pie in...

Yeah I was rambling and immediately realized the can of worms i was haphazardly opening and deleted all of that. lol!

Wolf Spider, Big Ben, and Shooter are such cool releases that don't get enough (public) love. As for ratios, I kind of prefer a setup where there's maybe 1 female in a squad of 4 people (like my Night Force Beta squad of the three aforementioned figures and NF Shockwave). 1 in 6 is fine, too...

Yeah and I have to count any new tooling on CLAW Pilot and Haslab Baroness since they could easily be reused. We certainly have a lot of new parts this year, it's been a great year for new parts, just not a lot of new parts for female figures is my point. Related, it's crazy that Jinx has...

I forgot about Pythona, she's a single release but obviously not a standard one. So out of 51 single releases, there were 2 females, one was a con-exclusive. That ratio is wack. Not even 1 in 20. But also, holy shit did I buy 50 Classifieds this year? It's not even like a "I'm mad...

I remember seeing her a ton on the cartoon, which is why I think she's so important. But GIJ is more of an ensemble cast anyway. "Main character" is a pretty loose term. Three females for the entire year and only one was a stand-alone release, I don't know, that just kinda sucks (lmk if I'm...

It is really hard to say because Classified has so many sublines and versions. They absolutely flubbed the early Retro line figures, with half-assed designs and terrible packaging, and there's a few figures stuck in that limbo, Baroness included. Snake Eyes seems to be the only guy, maybe...

Your points are all valid. It's hard to tell sometimes with this line, which figure a part was "made for". Like, did Law's vest start as Law's vest, or as Policeman's vest? Others like the Night-Creeper example are cut and dry. What you say about Baroness makes absolute sense. I suppose in...

Sorry I meant vehicles, not figures.

Don't these guys decide what they're making? Is there not enough budget for that Baroness without it being in a Haslab? Clearly the demand was there, they knew we wanted her so they put her in to sell Rattlers. I do appreciate your positivity and will give you a shout out when it happens.

Emily said three years on the vehicles so I'm mostly making it up. Cobra Commander didn't take three years.

Yeah I mean, obviously as consumers we win when they release more. But even the, what, three-year rule they put down, where a Haslab figure can't be rereleased for three years, is lame as hell. "Sell us an overpriced thing and PROMISE you won't rerelease it for a while or I'll be real mad!" -...

I still stand by it being a villain move to give us such a cool Baroness after no regular releases for years and cram it into a premium package. Hey it's been a minute, should we have another drawn-out conversation on Haslabs and their figures, and if we think it's a good or bad thing that...

Ancient picture but still applies. Torso to crotch is one of the only places you can't disassemble. Note that on most newer figures you can pop off the neck, hands, boot, and feet too. Just for fun, a couple of my favorite swaps: CI Beachhead with TF Outback's legs Doc with CI Beachhead's legs

the horses are cool but would have been neat if they could have figured out a way to sell us one horse that can do either action or neutral. like the answer is to buy two horses but if you want to have two horses in action or two in neutral, you're back to square one. 5k just pinged me for...

NEED this Blokees Tarn. Tarn is just the coolest. Is the Blokees website the best place to order this guy, just wait until he's "out" and order there? Or is there a place you guys think is safe and cheap - even AliExpress?

How can you guys say the Joe fandom sucks? We get on great in the Classified threads here. I don't understand why we sink ourselves to the lowest common denominator like this.

I kind of like the Valentine's Iron Man and the bear guy but nothing else for me.

I got so used to McF Spawn figures without the red deco on the body that I forgot how much it looks like he's wearing a woman's swim suit.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DP1FFZQM/ Snake Eyes and bear for $58 on amazon. Still unsure if it's worth biting at this price. $25 for SE, easy from me, but not so much on the bear. This set is still in-stock lots of places for $65 so I think I'll wait.
