I just happened to be about to climb up King Arthur's Seat one minute before the set was supposed to go live, tapped the brakes on heading up for 90 seconds, got my order in on Target, and then climbed a volcano.

Totally thought "King Arthur's Seat" was code for "bathroom" for a second. :)

Missed out on these because I was sleeping. Need Scarlett - the ridiculous trope of bad girl eyeliner is on full display and I love it. How do you know a good character has gone bad? If female, bad girl eyeliner. If male, a goatee or other facial hair change. Almost every time. :)
 
Curious how “Sam McQuale” is the second cousin of Storm Shadow.
I’d love to see that Arashikage family tree.

Sam's second cousin once-removed, on his mother's side.

Oooooh they changed Snake-Eyes’ primary specialty! “Intelligence”? That’s new.

I woke up cynical, but I wonder if they simply forgot he is the hand-to-hand combat instructor....

Boy howdy, wouldn't it be nice if these were on the packaging somewhere? Anywhere??

It has made zero sense to me in the six years of this line that they don't just print this on the package. I'm not taking an extra step to scan a QR code. I look at my phone enough. Fulfill the full sense of nostalgia by printing these file cards ON the package, please! (well, not so much now, six years in. It's kinda too late.)

Problem is and always has been, for about the last 20 years, is language laws and Hasbro being cheap. They don't want to spend the extra money on region specific file cards so they either have to go with no file card, or multilingual file cards which both look terrible and cut out a lot of the information.

You know what might work as well? If Hasbro could somehow have a website, somewhere, that they could own and use for file cards and other GI Joe related stuff. I mean they might have to call it www.gi......something. I'm just not sure what.... 😜

I find it fascinating that they lifted Larry's file cards word for word for all but the new Viper but changed Snake Eyes' primary specialty. I've officially spent enough time working on the Disavowed file cards I basically have their dog-damned specialities memorized and Snake Eyes was never Intelligence when Larry was writing them. Entirely possible someone during the Fuckin' Weird Years re-did his file card to remove that, but part of the humor is their specialties. Cutter is a women's swim coach FFS, don't mess with perfection.

Maybe when they adapt the Disavowed story for a new subline of figures...

I swear I'm gonna start writing new cards and posting your updated images as soon as I'm back in the states. I just need a better file hosting option than Instagram or Tapatalk...
