That's it. I'm going back to the Fwoosh where Ru can't hurt me.Nah, I’ll allow it.

My dad actually gave a lot of my vehicles to a kid down the street when I was at a friend's house or something, but he couldn't find my figures at least. I had all my original Joes for a while but sold them at a little mom and pop store that bought and sold vintage toys in San Diego called I Collect. I foolishly did it for store credit and even bought some Spawn figures with some of that then sat on the rest. When I came back, a new owner had taken over and refused to honor my credit so... Kinda wish my dad HAD found the figures because at least another kid would have enjoyed them.I aged out in 1990 at age 13 when my dad decided I was too old for toys. Mom got me Snake Eyes v.4 and Red Star for me on a trip without dad, but that was the end until I got my own job, car, and Spawn toys came out a few years later. I consider those the dark years of my life.
Did he at least put on pants before he took the vehicles down the street to the kid?My dad actually gave a lot of my vehicles to a kid down the street when I was at a friend's house or something, but he couldn't find my figures at least.

The characters are the point.
You meant Rock N' Roll, but I agree v2 was the balls. That's the one I had too. He also had that weird little rifle that kind of looked like a futuristic Winchester.Loved two-gatling-guns Roadblock cos OG was long, long, loooong gone. I was super picky about Scarlett cos I lost her and never had another one.
anyone else have a story of knowing exactly when they were aging out?
If another blonde guy claimed he was Duke, I probably wouldn't even notice heh.Exactly. It just feels... stupid.. to have a different person be like 'I am now X character.' Like, I don't know why we accept that for Snake Eyes. What if some other blonde dude showed up and was like 'I am now Duke.' Fucking weird and dumb. Just let other characters -be- other characters. Because who they are is the point of it all.
Damn, yeah he did but oddly I read it as he intended.You meant Rock N' Roll, but I agree v2 was the balls.
Yeah that was also my rock n roll and he definitely felt like an upgrade anyway.That's the one I had too. He also had that weird little rifle that kind of looked like a futuristic Winchester.
Or fuck n fight, which is Rock N Roll's club name.The only Scarlett I ever had was Ninja Force. So I'm gonna sit here and say the v1 Classified Scarlett looked ridiculous while also saying I very much want a Classified Ninja Force Scarlett. And anyone that doesn't like it can fucking fight me.
Okay, Duke is probably a bad example. That's like replacing Vanilla with French Vanilla. Like... yeah, I guess it's different. But is it?If another blonde guy claimed he was Duke, I probably wouldn't even notice heh.
Also, then you have something like Low Light, where V2 is definitely a different guy altogether. If they do that figures and keep the beard and dark hair, it'll be the easiest "that a different character" shelf canon ever.
I did too. It actually took me a second. It's an R name and you mention 'hand held gatling guns' and the brain just fills in the rest.Damn, yeah he did but oddly I read it as he intended.
I mean, obviously. We all know Rock N Roll fucks.Or fuck n fight, which is Rock N Roll's club name.
Haw, right!!Okay, Duke is probably a bad example. That's like replacing Vanilla with French Vanilla. Like... yeah, I guess it's different. But is it?
And I think Low Light V2 was in an article in one of the toy magazines from back there where they showed a bunch of the latest Joes at the time with the Hasbro employee there likeness was based on. I really only remember Mercer V2 and Downtown in there, but the guy Mercer was based on looked nothing like Mercer V1, so I guess it didn't really matter to them. I guess Hawk 1 and 2 is another example.Low Light is such a weird case. I have no idea what happened with that figure. It's almost like the team designed a whole new character and then was like 'he's a night operations guy' so the guys in charge were like 'nope, we already have one of those - just call him Low Light, we don't want to spend money on any design changes.'
That would be a good touch. I'd actually be really excited for that figure, and he is pretty much already Night Force colors as is too.I hope WHEN we get v2 Low Light (don't be cowards, Hasbro), he comes with two versions of the same head - one with dark hair and one blonde.
Exactly. Obviously shouldn't offer him my editorial services heh.I did too. It actually took me a second. It's an R name and you mention 'hand held gatling guns' and the brain just fills in the rest.
And the troops respect the hell out of him and his beard full of love stink.I mean, obviously. We all know Rock N Roll fucks.
