I have a 7-way tie for first place.
 
This goes through my mind often.
I fuckin' love Space Ghost Coast to Coast so much. I'll say it - better than the original show.


Star Wars toy fans are even worse than general SW fans. If you ever want to see the most entitled bunch of cry babies in the toy world, check out the Facebook Vintage Collection group. Every time someone new comes out in Black Series, they are going on and on about how unfair it is that they keep getting new characters and how the "deserve" it more.
I was unaware and I will continue to be unaware because that sounds fucking awful. I know I bitch about stuff that I care about, but I can't imagine spending much time at all in threads devoted to lines I don't even like or collect - or bitching because those lines are different from a totally different line that I like. What a fucking waste of time and energy.

Okay.. one of those guys is definitely Corps, not G.I. Joe. That's a whole 'nother wish list.

I love BF2000. But my favorite thing about it is how a lot of Joe fans hate them, but they came out in the '80s, so the '80s snobs can't blame the '90s for it. They gotta own that they are just dicks that don't like fun toys.
 
Classified has barely scratched the surface of the '90s stuff. There are some Vipers specialists, a Joe here and there, but compared to the '80s assortments, which have maybe one or two per year to check off the list, the '90s assortments are largely untapped. I hope those of you who want those figures made get them. I personally have little to no investment in them, but the line definitely has life beyond Cobra-La.
 
True, and even beyond Eco-Warriors or Star Brigade. And if they really dive into comics, even beyond Marvel, there's a TON of stuff that would probably go over as well as Wolf Spider for anyone unfamiliar with those issues.
 
They have so much to pick from. Kamakura has been made, and he's a Devil's Due original character, and the first non-ARAH character to be made.
 
While checking to see if he was the first, I found the Blue Ninjas, but they were from the IDW continuation of the Marvel ARAH series, so I'd consider them previously existing. I don't count the Snake Eyes movie Akiko (and neither should you).
 
for those who are unhappy with Leatherneck's size, and don't think he quite looks the way you'd envision him to look, I finally opened the Mercer pack, and since the black tank/camo pants is my Slaughter, I thought this actually made me think of Leatherneck:

I love this so much. I already have 2 Sgt Slaughter figures and he was never a favorite anyway, so I will be doing this immediately.

Thanks for the idea
 
I still need to go through my head bin to turn blue tank (Marauders) into someone else, but my first tasks at hand were to give black tank Sarge the whistle head (it does NOT fit - have to heat to get it to stay, and it doesn't go all the way onto the ball; it looks natural from the front, but sides & back it's super gapped) & red handled baton (and Marauders' green hat), so then I was playing around with the hats this one comes with, and as soon as that one went on, I was like "wait a minute..." lol
