My feed is flooded with AI pictures of "military themed movie characters as GI Joe Classified figures sitting in-box on Target shelves". Strangely, the AI box art here looks better than the AI box art Hasbro is officially going with. I'd say that's the one wrong turn this line has made since...

RIGHT ON! Thanks, man! It was showing up as $42 and change for me. Almost $20 per figure? What kind of crazy twenty-teens pricing is this?

I too am in need of a Wild Bill. I think my second Classified purchase of the year better be Steeler/Short Fuze. Let's get that 82 roster locked in. The increased cost of the hobby in general has helped me do a good job of saving recently. Now how do I keep that trend going and NOT load up...

I don't remember who my first celebrity crush was but the longest-lasting was probably Kimberly the Pink Ranger. I didn't mention that when I met her in person last November....I'm guessing every 40 year old doofus has told her that. And though I wasn't as aware of it at the time, Trini was...

I feel "slots" are all relative in that a wave can be four or five or six or however many figures. I remember when GI Joe did their 25th anniversary figures 20 years ago, they put Mat Trakker in a wave. Everyone bemoaned it as a "wasted slot". Well, one of the previous waves only had 3 new...

I have yet to see a Disney firing that I am happy with. He did a great job on the show. All I know is that he had some shirtless online pics that Disney didn't like........what else about him made him a "creep"?

Yes, "cheap and tacky" is definitely an accurate description.

Claremont's last run of X-Treme X-Men books heavily, HEAVILY implied that Rachel and Kitty were an item. It may have even said so outright, I don't recall......

Yeah, like almost every other "new direction" the X-Men take, I popped my head in at the beginning of "Gold, Blue, Red........pretty sure there was a Green....." eras, and quickly tapped out. I remember at one point they were killing off characters unceremoniously every issue. Did the writers...

I was today years old when I learned mustache Chewbacca existed. Not one I'd pick up had he been packaged singly. https://jediinsider.com/8-27640#gsc.tab=0 They all look nice, the latest---and probably greatest---versions of each of those characters. But do I NEED them? I've got them all and...

OK, now I'm picturing the Marvel Legends New Mutants wave all on those retro Sienkiewicz (I had to google that spelling) cards. I hated Sienkiewicz's art as a dumb teenager, now I love it.

I agree with this and also everything you said about Betsy beforehand. I don't think I even understood Claremont's original body swap story. At least.....I don't remember it that well. I'd have to go back and re-read. I do like Jim Lee's Japanese Betsy design, but the whole story, and the...

WELL played!

I found an extra combat belt Batman at a toy swap last fall for $5. Good condition, good paint, all he had was his cape which you can argue is all he needs. Let me know if you want it.

Yeah, both Kenner TAS and the Burton movie figures gave you ONE Batman that's pretty accurate to the source, then dozens and dozens of other wild looks. I have my combat belt Batman from childhood still, and it is miraculously still complete. We typically kept pretty good track of our...
