Seems like MAA being similar is more of a NE problem. He looks really nice for a Vintage line figure. I much prefer the yellow armor and chained weapon. This is one of those collector hills on which we fight to the death, over the issue of molded chain for action poses vs linked chain. I...

New Voyager Brawl looks nice but I'm priced out on him until a sale. $43 for a 5.5" Voyager with minimal paint apps is CRAZY. He needs to make me breakfast at that price point.

I've been stressed out about mine too, and just got an estimate of Nov 8-15th.

While on the subject of tac and it's effectiveness, I've found the gorilla glue white tac to work better than most mainstream brands you'll find at retail. Hot glue does work great, I use it to fit heads and stuff pretty often.

Don't forget Shippy! And Retro Gung Ho while we're at it. v3 Gung Ho can't come soon enough*. *I realize posting this may result in two pages of juvenile jokes and I accept full responsibility.

Now I want that Outback in a hard hat. He can go with Law; guys who look like they're part of Majima Construction

Yes both of mine have the wobbly head. It's very odd, but at least it has good clearance. As for the arms, I believe they are Tripwire's. Which explains why nobody cares the biceps look bad on him, he has armor over them. Dunno if he was the first figure to use these, just the first I...

Some fun little things I've done with my Ghost Viper set with Crystal Ball: Use the left "beast" hand for Crystal Ball, it holds the titular crystal ball a lot better. Attach the backpack hose to the guard on CB's sword so it looks like the backpack is fueling the green flame Attach the...

As a Charlie fan I feel so damn spoiled to get him, but I do need a matching Arena Guile to go with him, so that's my wishlist figure for now. PS: Is anyone else traumatized by the Street Fighter movie into growing up thinking Blanka is Charlie? It's like a Berenstein/Berenstain Bears thing...

I'm pretty unenthused with this newest Retro wave. Which isn't even a huge knock against it, they just can't stand up to figures I've received lately like Budo, Ghost Viper, Policeman, etc. Zap is so boring. Almost all reuse and almost zero paint. Crazylegs could be cool, I still don't see...

Kyo looks great BTW, this is such a miniscule thing, but I like how Storm makes the elbow joint wide, over how Jada makes them narrow. Just preference, I think a wide elbow joint looks nicer.

Holy shit really? That head doesn't fit? I wanted to use that head on both figures 🫠

I got my two Ghost Vipers today. Gonna crack one open tonight and decide if I need the second pack. Pretty stoked! Seems like a lot of fun to be had for us Kitbasher Elites.

I'll check it out, thanks. And I was going to say, some neat designs could be a net positive from the line. My first thought was, "Joes better be Sigma-Six-levels of geared-up to deal with Transformers" which sounds amazing. Or a Snake Eyes that's like MGR Raiden/Cyborg Ninja that can slice...

It's just such a waste that Hasbro won't make a more mature show out of GI Joe. That'd be great. A live-action show featuring a main character like Stalker, Mercer, or Outback for example. Maybe one of these characters is our sort of Reacher-style protag where actions speak louder than words...

Transformers x GI Joe is something Chris Cocks dreams about. Licensing crossover that's free? It would be stupid not to! Except that most fans of either line don't want it because it makes zero sense. Every vehicle would need to be Haslab-sized and priced. $100 vehicles turn into $300...

I wasn't expecting it after Walmart cancelled my NECA Tokka Rahzar pack, but Target/NECA came through and I got the Accessory Pack for $10 off. Pretty cool. I remember this thing selling out in three minutes the first time around. What a cute set! I have so much nostalgia for the pizza...

Ahh! Not the Rattler Baroness conversation again! I can feel an urge rising...it's taking control of me... CLASSIFIED DID US DIRTY WITH NOT ENOUGH FEMALES AND THEN JAMMING THE BEST ONE OF THE YEAR IN A HASLAB IS SCUMMY! ...sorry, I thought I had that all out of my system. Until next time...

Not to retread this conversation but this succinct sentence sums how how I've felt about MLs since ~2023's Avengers subline. I realize this conversation is more about past and future figures that "go together" but just the mindset that Hasbro can and will string you along for years and then...

Except you have to take a hard stance that toys are better than sex, otherwise you lose the nerd cred.

Heavy Duty is cool but I find that particular upper body in particular is too thin. He needs more of a V shape torso. He looks like a fashion model with his extremely skinny waist and midsection.

Here I am, only bought the Falcon/Quarrel set eight times like a FAKE FAN To regain some of my Classified cred I cancelled the Gamerverse Punisher/Fury set to free up more money for Classified. No more waist swivels!

Hasbro was giving us double elbows with the Return of Marvel Legends line in 2013, while Mattel didn't introduce double elbows into the WWE Elite line until 2021. So there's a lot of Elites I bought in the late 2010s that felt like they really should have come with double elbows.

I'm ready for that Lowlight set to go on sale online. Target and Walmart should only get repaints! Drives me bonkers seeing these stacked Walmarts (but thanks for sharing). Says my Ghost Vipers are supposed to arrive on Friday but they still haven't shipped. Typical Walmart, it's not looking...

I keep telling myself I don't need blanks, either. Or at least wait to see some head swaps. Oops!
