G.I. Joe Classified Series

I don't need dip, but...

That is so damned tempting, especially given all the boners about him in this thread. But I really would like the more Mansonish, Alan Moore looking version from the IDW comics. Him and Serpentor, IDW made disturbing and memorable. And I don't always need things to be dark and grounded, but in these instances I appreciated it.
 
Meant to sleep through the Target drop but my toy-brain woke me up to order it as usual. Target had a nice $10 off $60 so I threw some Albanese True to Fruit gummy bears in to hit that goal. Mostly stoked for Steeler, he looks cool and he has my favorite Uzi and holster. Short-Fuze is okay, his m224 mortar backpack is great but it's hard to get excited for a Stalker repaint this far into the line. And I wish his shirt wasn't so bright yellow-green.

These are a couple handsome gents in this pack. They look like possible love interests from The Vampire Diaries. But they don't have time to be dating the protagonist. They're G I JOE.
 
I’ve had Slice and Dice sitting in my cart for the past week while I hemmed and hawed over what else to put in to get it to free shipping. Crystal Ball was impossible to find in store or at Walmart’s website, so I kept his page open for the heck of it since the Trench Viper had randomly come back in stock a couple weeks ago, not thinking it would actually work. I couldn’t believe it when it didn’t say “Sold Out” like usual!

if you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with, right?
 
I've had too many sleepless nights and early wake-ups for toy pre-orders this year, so I decided fuck all that bullshit and have been sleeping in on pre-order days. Sure, I don't get to pre-order the Steeler and Short-Fuze 2 pack. Sure, I missed the Batman Returns McFarlane stuff. But I get to experience the sleep of the innocent, slumbering peacefully with no worries or stress over the toys I so desperately desire. Let woken Nik deal with that, sleeping Nik don't give a care. And when it comes down to it, I'll find a way to get those toys, one way or another. No more sacrificing my psyche and my sleep for this bullshit.
 
Toy brain is so real. Back when Tiger Force Outback was on preorder I got so used to waking up at 3 in the damn morning to approve additional delays, I think I gave myself permanent insomnia. Lovely finding about twenty of them at Ross later that year...
 
I thought the Steeler/Short-Fuze 2pk was going up for order at 9am PST. Nope, it was EST. Whoops. Missed out on them. Had a $10 off $60 I was waiting to use as well. Double whoops.

Speaking of this 2pk, anyone else bothered by the colors of Steeler and Short-Fuze being flipped? Steeler was always a more more yellow/green color. And Short-Fuze a darker green. They have them flipped for their Classified looks. You can't just switch heads either, since their helmets are the wrong color. I'm not a RAH purist, but this is just an odd mistake/choice. The one distinguishing feature to Steeler, other than his visor, was his color. It's not a deal breaker but it is irksome.
