I'm having some real issues with the tight knee joint on mine. Heat didn't work, cold didn't work. Tried shock oil, helps but still feels "stuck" when fully straightened, very hard to budge now with the shock oil. Which I guess maybe shock oil isn't great for non-ball joints. If anyone has...

So basically the last 10 years of answering questions at MCU panels

No I don't expect War Machine to be Omega Red's height, it's just an American false advertising issue that Hasbro and Mattel abuse. Now, if you're asking if I'd like a War Machine in Omega Red's size, absolutely. I'd put him with my Masterverse figures as Omega Red scales great with them...

same on all that. nothing is squeaky, his upper left knee is very tight though.

Where's my James figure with "stick hand in dark mystery hole" action feature?? Got my Ken today, echoing what has been said, he's great. The sculpt and joints look so good (I'm not used to companies continuing pants texture into the knee joints...). I dislike the soft hands, they feel like...

This should be illegal: War Machine is nowhere near as big as in the promo shots. I knew this because I have both the originals, but still, this feels like blatant false advertising.

I'm going to try using AK Ultra Matte Varnish on his disassembled knees and reassembling after a generous curing time. Won't help with the overall leg rubbery feeling but might help with the weakest point.

Crazy. I feel like this set is overall better, but I can see how it being winter-themed and not having any army builders makes it a much harder sell. I like all the tiers here but GIJ team messed up by not offering any Winter Joe army builders at all, in this set or in the regular series.

Just a random thought after finally watching reviews of Cap vs Venom but, those new arms on Venom are everything! We deserved new pinless legs, too, sturdier and not so rubbery, but, the new arms look incredible. Always felt like the arms on the Retro Venom were the worst part, not only...

I hope Flint doesn't fund. He's overrated and not the true leader of GI Joe. --- Best regards, Duke President @ GIJ [email protected]

McDivers! I wish these guys had Blowtorch's off-red and yellow. But hey they still look nice! Always enjoy a Classified Diver.

Great comparison. I felt like Guile's legs could be longer, too, but seeing it like this really puts it in perspective.

Sorry if this has already been posted, but anybody giving this mod a go? I hate to lose that War Machine, but this also looks great. Going to try to find time this weekend for it. OP says the legs fit loose, so maybe floor polish/superglue is the answer.

It does seem like the references for this line are all over the place. Vega in-game looks very lithe; the way he pushes his shoulders forwards helps, but just in general he's thin. On the flip side, Nishimura's art showed him with a wide chest and wide shoulders: As well as Bengus: And...

It's not rare, no. Walmart just did their usual bs, cancelled everyone's pre-orders and ship them out to select stores instead, then it took a week before stock came back online. So for a week it was hard to get for many, but never rare. Just needlessly stressful. I had to drive out of town...

Yeah the better decision would have been a removable front grip if they insisted on using this weapon. Or add a buckle on the back side like Law's pistol holster on his vest.

It doesn't even close on the back side. it's got three of four sides. what you're talking about is Law's holster, which is functionally great. I'm reminded of those crappy cheap folders my parents used to buy me for elementary school that didn't have pockets but side flaps and everything fell...

Got my v4 Snake Eyes today. He's okay. Fun figure plagued with terrible design decisions. I was playing with 01 Snake Eyes last night and this new release, five years later, isn't nearly as well-designed in terms of articulation and gear. Still, Snake Eyes is the man, and I'll customize this...

Recently picked up Biker Mice from Mars' MODO on clearance at Walmart and I love LOVE his gun with Faker. It's nice and light so he can hold his arm up all day. This figure really turned out to be one of my favorite Masterverse offerings.

Yes I'd also hate to see them tie Joes and Transformers together too deeply via Dark Energon. In name, it's fine. But I don't want to be gouged for a zombie because it comes with like, a mini Unicron head or whatever. Or be taken out of whatever Joe storyline I'm reading because Starscream...

It's not black and white like that. Are we turning this back into the same Venom/Batman/Superman discussions from the last few pages? You make it sound like I can't possibly have a shelf full of Skeletors that aren't periwinkle. I'm saying I do have a shelf full of Skeletors, Fakers, and...

My full shelf of Skeletors would beg to differ! EDIT: Random thought but Wolverine and Juggernaut can not get here soon enough.

I didn't think about how it might relate to the Mass Device. That's a fun idea. I was worried that they dropped the idea; one Walmart exclusive figure two years ago isn't exactly "building" up to anything. Almost like it was dropped in favor of Crystal Ball's DIRE tech. But, if they're...

Regarding Venom's blue, I do wish it were a little brighter like the MvC sprites. It's the right hue of cerulean blue from what I can tell, but the wrong value. I don't have him yet so this is all based on images and reviews. On that note of comparing these figures to the MvC sprites, War...

It would be cool if Classified delved further into the pink Dark Energon crystals mined by Mole Rat like they're expanding on Crystal Ball's supernatural D.I.R.E. tech. Dark Energon, for those who don't know, is a reference to Transformers (in Transformers, Dark Energon exists and reanimates...
