G.I. Joe Classified Series

Ok, tried to order a Crankcase/Awe due to all the peer pressure (shhh, let me have my deluded rationale) but I'm stuck in a "press & hold" loop. I'm now questioning my humanity.

Real talk: This was my logic with the original Cobra Island Troopers and Vipers. And Stormtroopers when Black Series redid them.

But over the years I realize I don't do over the top photoshoots and they just take up shelf space. It felt gross cutting them down to just two, and even now only having two Retro Vipers makes me twitchy and I keep them quick loaded on Amazon. I sold off every other Cobra soldier I owned over the years and just kept the two Retro Vipers and four Retro Troopers. And I have this internal battle about dumping the troopers for two more Vipers and calling it a day.

Anytime I see D Amazing or some Instagram shoot, I'm like "oh yeah, I should get more", and then I just do something else until it passes.

Yeah I can completely understand. What works for me is tight grouping. Like I have a Joe shelf that's 12 figures and they're equal distant apart and visually it's a little boring. But then I have another shelf of the same size and same amount of figures, where they're all grouped into two or three and it's more interesting. I think that's where multiples shine. Get them nice and tight and it looks like they go together. Then you can have larger spaces between groups and it doesn't turn into a mélange of figures. Two Retro Vipers flanking Mercer is going to look great.

Now onto the new stuff for today...I was busy all morning/afternoon and I'm glad I was able to order AWE Striker. Crank Case looks good, I don't have a ton to say about him but the vehicle itself looks like a lot of fun. Being able to clearly see three figures posed in the vehicle is a huge win. Glad the snake decal on the side is a sticker, it will be ignored. Also ordered the two-pack and one BAT. If they did the Joe Trooper in a new buck I'd bite but I'm so bored of these parts. Shame the COPS didn't go up today, I'd order at least one, but I totally understand the unfortunate timing.

Anyone on the fence about AWE Striker should probably lock in a preorder lest this becomes another VAMP situation! Can always cancel down the line, right?

Do you even know how hard it is to keep multiple hats on your head while driving at high speeds in an open vehicle like the AWE striker? Hats EVERYWHERE, just a bloodbath of hats in your wake
 
I'm sure other people already know about stuff like this, but when I, who know nothing about guns, tried to figure out what random rifle I stuck in Gung-Ho's hands yesterday, I found that of course someone had put a lot of effort into matching up which guns come with which figures. I actually don't care about accuracy or realism (I mean my favorite guys are the ninja, the laser guy, and the guy with an attack floof sidkick) but I actually found it kinda helpful to be like "oh that one came with THAT guy!"

And I have to have Gung ho holding it one handed, aiming up, because even that gun looks kinda puny when he's aiming it with both hands.

Same! Gung Ho Retro looks so good with that NF SAW. I'm glad I have some big Valaverse guns for the other big dudes.
 
Anyone have a link to the leaked cop figure pics? I didn't see them in the sea of posts I've been reading through in this forum.
I don't currently have access to my IG since FB/Meta are being assholes about disabling my account due to "community guidelines being broken" when I haven't posted on FB in over 2 years.
 
Shit, y’all, I don’t want to talk about how much preordering I did this morning.
I just started clicking, man. BATs and Greenshirts flying everywhere.

Still want that cop for the headswaps. And other fun.
