One more for tonight - I think I'll do Zap next since he'll be big #130 for these cards! Code Name: Shooter (Disavowed) File Name: Craig, Jodie F. Primary Military Specialty: Infantry Secondary Military Specialty: Chaplain's Assistant Birthplace: Montclair, New Jersey Rank: E-7 Subject...

Kamakura or Budo?I kinda want to write both, and before last year I really wasn't a huge fan of either. For my own amusement, the Lewis administration never refers to Snake Eyes by name. He's always redacted. Then the other half of the file card has a Joe talking about him like he's just a...

Shit, I think we're down to Shooter and Zap after this one for named Joes who have figures already! I gotta look at the viper list to see if there's any cool generics I haven't written up yet. Taking suggestions! Code Name: Kamakura (Disavowed) File Name: Classified Primary Military Specialty...

I always loved the Tiger Force version more too. Although my favorite was the "Listen n Fun" version, the bright orange and red one!

Ever since I got Budo's figure I'm like 'this is GI Joe John Wick" and knew this was exactly how I wanted to write him. Pure ronin territory for this guy.

I probably ended up on a watch list researching Tripwire because I wanted to look into humanitarian organizations that remove unexploded ordinance from old war zones... Code Name: Tripwire (Disavowed) File Name: Skoog, Tormod S. Primary Military Specialty: Explosive Ordinance Disposal...

I've actually known what happened to Budo since like, back when I wrote Mercer's card but I didn't know where to place him in the timeline.

File Name: Jesso, Kyle A. Primary Military Specialty: Infantry Secondary Military Specialty: Hand-to-hand combat instructor Birthplace: Sacramento, California Rank: E-5 Subject accepted early retirement from the GI Joe Unit and was placed under standard surveillance. It was discovered, however...

Definite yes to NInja-Ku, nice simple ninja design I'd get T'Jbang out of solidarity but what a ridiculous figure. Also I love that his card says he took a vow of silence then quotes him throwing an intimidation check out loud at the bottom in a quote. I sold myself on a Road Pig variant by...

Don't put that out there to the universe, Ru

I have too many motorcycles with side-mounted weapons, but if they included a figure I want to go with it, I'd buy the damned ninja bike.

I'm not sure what it was about Big Lob that struck me as having a political career but it works really well - I can hear him giving a speech in my mind already.

He's a character I didn't like a kid because the cartoon made him so one-note, but his OG file card is interesting in how he's the only one I've found so far who has special status to pick and choose his missions. He's got a foot in two worlds in a way most of the others don't.

Code Name: Big Lob (Disavowed) File Name: Sanders, Bradley J. Primary Military Specialty: Infantry/Grenadier Secondary Military Specialty: Special Services Birthplace: Chicago, Illinois Rank: E-4 Subject was already considered a reserve member at the time the GI Joe Unit was disbanded and had...

I would buy a sniper based off old designs, but that original design is legit awful. It feels like they were trolling Jim with it. Is that a diver's mask and a sniper rifle mounted to his shoulder like closet cosplay Predator?

Classified generally comes with only one set if hands, maybe two if there's a good reason and they're supposed to be for any weapon, but I find they've got two basic hand grips - perfect and too tight for some guns. I can get OTHER guns or knives into their hands but weirdly they sometimes come...

I'm having the opposite reaction to the hands - yeah, they're stiff, but I'm sick to my back teeth of Mythic Legions figures having paint scrape off when you swap weapons or those stupid stumpy pegs wearing down over time so if you put a full-weight weapon in their hand for a bit on the shelf...

I literally have instructions in my will. "Call C. to help you unload the Marvel and Star Wars stuff. Let him take what he feels is fair for his help. Call J. to help with the fantasy bullshit, he'll know what's trash and what's valuable. Please ignore the number of sexy lady action figures...

An easy repaint I'd buy for sure.

I think this is HILARIOUS and it would be reasonably priced. I'd get it and get INFINITE fun out of taking photos of him driving it in front of the Stinger too slowly or carting CC around the golf course.

I'd get him just because it'd be funny to have the lowest ranking Cobra ever available in action figure format.

Hit and Run just got bumped to Weds for me. If I get a Joe every other day for the next week I'm going to feel silly with all the single packages but that's like, the twelve days of Christmas but only for me.

Welp, now I'm adding this to my list of things to do if I die before my partner. I already put instructions on how to unload my collection easiest (including friends to help her sell stuff). So now i need to say "oh and if you get a box from New Jersey..."

Not sure if it'd be the same for everyone, but the human figures I got had kinda stiff waist movement until I gave 'em a hot water bath. The heat freed up ALL the joints, actually. All three humans were really jammed up but only needed a hit of very hot water to fix it. Can get a really good...

Is that Steve on a Bohdie body? I've been trying to find a good home for that head for ages.
