Got Hit & Run and Lifeline today. Hit & Run was a real impulse buy, was planning on skipping him, but in-hand he's a VERY good figure. Really great kit.
Lifeline's very solid, too. My only complaint is his hands look too big for his body? Like I'm tempted to take the spare hands from the greenshirt and see if they fit to swap them in instead. But his gear is a riot, the oxygen mask and IV. I need something to hold the IV up though, I think, and my one detail nitpick is the stuff INSIDE his case is not painted. A bit of silver on the scissors, etc. would have been a nice touch. I might actually do it myself with some miniatures-painting supplies.

Its a Recondo head with the moustache trimmed down, repainted and added some scars to make it look different.

Reorganizing my Joes for another collection shift.
Only just now noticed General Hawk original recipe has hands doing the mandible claw rather than triggers. I don't see any other figures I own with this Fingerbanging Mary Jane Rottencrotch set up.
Anyone know others?

All other threads are pretenders! This thread is the original birthplace of Dik Tok!
I also broke my pre-order rule. I was telling @DarthDre758, after noticing how many Classified figures I've noticed went on sale since their release, I didn't want to pre-order anyone anymore unless it's in my top five wanted figures or something. And I don't even mean a deep discount, but $3-5, which still adds up. Darklon I've seen on Amazon for $21, Frag Viper got down to $16, and so on. So, maybe I'll cancel Dawn and try to wait on her but we'll see.

It does feel like Joes have hit that comfortable stage where they aren't impossible to get if you don't preorder. They don't often bottom out the way Star Wars Black and a lot of Marvel does, but it's leveled off a lot.

It's funny, I buy maybe three ML's a year and I always pre-order them the second they go up because they will absolutely disappear. Joe's, though, have become a very comfortable counterpoint to all that, with the obvious exception of store exclusives. Pre-ordering those doesn't really work anyway.
