$25 for a loose, bare Valk would be wonderful, but all that's up now is $40 for em and that's a bit more then I'm willing to pay for a third one of these girls.

Get a pin-vise with a very slender drill bit. These things can be needle thin so they should be able to gouge out the stuck peg. Just go slow and don't put too much presser on the barrel.

I at least got my first pair on Pulse when they first went up and then another two sets when they went up again, but the rest were from ebay. Like most thing they seem to have underestimated the demand, which means when they Python Patrol Valkryies or Crimsons or maybe a solo release with a big giant vest or something they'll probably overproduce and they'll pegwarm and they'll decide female troopers don't sell and never make anything else like that.

Can we please go back to simple packaging on the o-ring shit? Maybe even the modern stuff too? When I'm going through 3+ layers of cardboard and plastic to get to my pulse exclusive Duke+CC, I really start to think about that $40ish price point and where all the production cost is coming from. Especially when that shit doesn't even get to sit on a store shelf, all that extra "security" feels even more pointless.

I just opened two legends figures in the retro style card back, they seal the cardboard around the blister. In the blister is a tray holding the toy and accesories which are simply taped down. Seems like an acceptably elegant way of keeping everyone happy imo. You can see the toy, its a secure package and eliminates waste. But you destroy the small art piece on the cardbacking so i guess someone would boo hoo that.

Im not happy for it, but it just seems like the most efficent way. As it is now, ill be able to stuff a gift bag with logo paper from footlockers im not using. The retro cardboard should even be cheaper since its being laminated or what ever, but maybe all these small pieces of paper twine and boxes and paper are actually cheaper. The retro tray just seems better cost wise.

Never even supported Classified in the first place. what I own are from people gifting them to me, which is to say, I have 4 or 5 GI Joes. I'll support the 1:18, but not 1:12.
If i want 1:12, i'll stick with Mezco, because they're better, especially the weapons.

Mezco sucks shit for their delays though.

Only the classifieds are resealable anyway. The o-ring stuff doesn't need the extra plastic tray or the extra box for holding the boxes. If you got an excess of loose accessories, then I get using the tray to show it off and keep it tidy. But the o-ring figure packaged with a two weapons and a backpack at most? Get that shit out of here.

RoC was resealable if you didn't open them like an ape. Which is nice and all, but I really don't need to put that shit back in the box anyway.

So, I remember when Retaliation came out there was a 12" Snake eyes from Sideshow that looked amazing, but I was in college at the time and I couldn't afford it because it was like $200. Now FigZero has a 12" Snake Eyes that's $150 and it looks pretty fine, but I've never bought an adult collector 12" figure before. I had the 12" Hall of Fame Snake Eyes when I was a kid and if I was ever going to pay adult collector prices for a 12" G.I. Joe, it would have to be Snake Eyes, but is it worth the asking price? I don't have to make a split second decision on it but I'm considering saving up for it.

it was good to have extra accessories, you faggot. instead of buying extra figs, taking the parts you wanted and selling a broken shell of a figure on ebay like some customizers do, having extra gear was cool. they would also come in different colors, much like your mom's boyfriends.

it's annoying because they still make weapons out of sturdier plastic, like the valkyrie set that they reused for the snow serpent or the range viper's rifle
but then in those same sets, the snow serpent's bazooka is bent 90% of the time and so is the range viper's grenade launcher

To add on, if I didn't know better, it's like if some who didn't like Duke tried to sculpt him in a way that can "finally" appeal to them so he'd looked cool and edgy. It's a shame because I really like the accessories/cloth outfit and I told myself that Duke and CC were the only ones I'd consider getting from this line. I'm gonna have to think on this.

Well I have other Mezcos from different properties and like I said, I would've made an exception for Duke and CC away from my Classified stuff. As of this reveal, I'm having second thoughts.

No such head exists so I'm currently learning blender to hollow out a Cindy Aurum head from FFXV of an STL I found, and I'm gonna use that.

Man I am hyped for the tank, even got a dedicated cubby shelf I plan to turn into a "garage" it and the team. But I will never not be upset they didn't use that rear seat as some sort of com station or something. I know that the HISS has been used as a troop transport before (I still want a mass market re-release of the HISS IV.) but only having a single seat in the back does not a troop transport make. But it would've been a perfect spot for the technician to do technical things while the pilot and commander do theirs. The fireteam can ride the steps and hang on the handles, but the HISS Crew should all have dedicated seats in the tank itself.

Tracked down the source to this, and I'm still a bit skeptical. The same guy said that HISS Tanks started arriving in the US in early August. I'm no expert on shipping logistics, but almost 3 months seems like a long ass time for this. Sure, they probably made like 30,000 of them, but why split them up into separate shipments over the course of all this time? Seems weird.

Disregearding that the left is Snake Eyes 2, my favorite version of Jinx was the yellow costume from GI Joe Retaliation. This custom is a nice compromise between that and her classic look though, and I kind of hope we get something like that for her Classified figure. The retro carded version should be pretty easy to do and I don't think that the basic red pajamas look will be what they go for on her main Classified figure.

Took over a week after a really poor initial showing on opening weekend. Even with a 60-day window, I just don't see this funding. Of course, they've already priced in the stretch goals so people are paying for those up front, and its funny how that price is turning many away (plus they're massively gouging on shipping fees, Hasbro doesn't do that and neither company controls the shipping companies). And while I'm very certain this won't fund, on the miracle it does, the stretch goals are NOT going to happen!

51 days is a long time. I expect this is going to fund but yeah just barely which is a bit of a bummer considering this feels pretty incomplete without the first two stretch goals; the interior of the thing is just a lot of empty space without the bubbles and the cannons while wildly out of scale obviously are in the intro and should be part of the base offering.

Hasbro plastics won't deform without breaking. IT's going to split apart before the "shape gets ruined"

The plastic isn't that malleable. Once it's in its shape, it'll take a lot for it to look different, apart from the natural elasticity you may notice from a barrel not being straight. Maybe you might flatten it with 500 or 600lbs of force.

I doubt it would work, unfortunately. It's not until you get to around 1/56 scale that slight differences in size and scale start to become irrelevant, the large the size/scale, the more obvious the differences between scale becomes.

Check out Wayward Goats MARV. It's a nice truck built for 1:18 and comes in a few color choices. It's not as detailed as the RC you posted, as they're basically just solid colors, but it's a great armored transport with a ton of gear and display options. The full set can be a bit pricey, but they actually offer cheaper stripped down releases if you just want the base truck.

Get the Retro one if you can find it cheap, which considering how many times the HISS tank has been released, shouldn't be too hard.

No need to pay for a bot mode if you don't plan on transforming the Hiss Tank.

That's because Classified is closer to 1/10 than true 1/12, like Figma or SH Figuarts for example.

The heads from the Lady Hydra/Shield Agent 2-Pack require the usual ball joint embiggening to fit but otherwise, the blonde one is perfectly scaled for the Valkyrie body, but the latina head which I was more interested in using was actually too small-looking on the body for my tastes. The Shield helmet matches the Corba blue very well, though, so it wasn't a total loss.

Don't forget the doomsaying of the covid delivery era. The "dead line" bait because of the target debacle.

But the haslabs dunking on marvel and star wars, the more or less every figure being fully available multiple times, and a decent mix of figures saved it from any bumps.

Imagine being a Ghostrider fan and your stretch goals are an xmen villain, Doctor Strange villain, and a literal who supernatural character.

I have two suggestions. First would be to add some vertical element to your display. Most easily in the back of the shelves. I see you already did that with Cobra Commander, but more would make everyone pop a little bit more and would lessen the effect of having them all kinda mesh together visually.

Second would be to make or buy some diorama inserts, preferably with a more neutral color palette for larger displays like a Cobra Base or a city street(Where all the figures are fighting) to make the figures pop more, and more specific ones for smaller displays, like a throne room for Dr. Doom or something.

Basically you should be aiming to draw attention to the figures themselves individually as much as you can, as opposed to just having a big mass of figures that, visually speaking, just look like one big mass of colors on a shelf.

Walmart has had about 3 Range Vipers up at sporadic times during the last week. I no longer have a free trial + membership with them so I had to buy 2 items to get free shipping with them, and these vipers were selling at retail, not toywiz or other reseller scalper prices.

So me being dubious of walmarts shipping practices, I just assumed they would absolutely demolish the viper boxes and so I only ordered one, and a Firefly to get me free shipping. Shady practice on their part but whatever, i didnt have Firefly anyways.

So they both arrived MINT like super clean undamaged unblemished unfolded perfect condition. Of course they were now out of Range Vipers again but at least I had one.

Undeterred I stalked their site until another retail prices Viper showed up. Instant order, and again had to order another figure, this time a Dusty in his version 1 deco. Was on sale for 11 bucks just to meet free shipping conditions. Of course, different sellers so these did not arrive together, Viper was supplied by walmart, Dusty by some store in NJ. So anxiously awaiting my next Viper, ot came super well backaged, in a box with air bubble. Problem was that whoever packed it packed an item that was already crushed, lol. I let it slide because I wanted one on display and one mint in box anyways. Walmart has a ways to go with their item condition consistency and desu that will probably never be ok resolved.

I think in terms of sculpt and paint apps that Baroness is fine. The thing that annoys me is that her accessories are a total mish mash and some of them are leftovers from the movie version, and taken out of context they don't really work. Her pistols have pegs so they can mount to her hips, but there are no peg holes on her hips like the movie version. She has the nanomite warhead suitcase from the movie, but there are no warheads to go inside. The grapplehook thing is just random clutter because nobody was buying her for a play feature gimmick.

I would have given her an actual belt with dual holsters and new, matching pistols. I also would have given her a sniper rifle, and had Destro include a briefcase with some kind of McGuffin item to go inside. I re-accessorized my Baroness and Destro that way, except that I still haven't found a good twin holster option for Baroness, and I don't want to just glue some Marauder holsters onto her since she's a semi-rare figure lately.

The Viper 3pack was an amazon exclusive if I remember correctly. They've been in stock for over a year now, and been on sale for between 40 and 60 bucks multiple times. It's probably why they were so gunshy about ordering enough Eels to actually let anyone buy one.

I think its neat that chuckles has shipped around the same time as the twins, kinda adds to the story of box art in my mind. Itd be beyond awesome if the hiss team shipped out near the haslab, id cry if the crimson alley viper shipped then too but its a walmart thing i think.

He has some good and bad things:

Bad: his sunglasses are a separate accessory instead of being molded onto his head sculpt. Also, bare hands and not gloved hands.

Good: he comes with a bunch of good guns and accessories. Most notably a DI hat and a mini-Slaughter action figure.

If you have Beachhead you can give him the DI hat and accessories and his guns are a decent fit for other figures.

He's absolutely a fantastic figure, whether you care about the character or not. He's got a bunch of fun accessories, a really nice box, a great build and just has a lot of presence on a shelf. And even if you're not a fan of him as a wrestler, he was still a big part of the cartoon and the movie.

A few things mucked it up.
It came with an officer, for army building purpose that puts a wrinkle in things
The colors were much duller to the Cobra Island ones
The effect parts punched up the price slightly above what just buying three normally would cost
It came out so far out of the Cobra Island release and the two reissues that likely only people that missed out on the CI one would get this set.

I didn't mind that the set came with an officer, as being a three pack you could still build teams and have the officer be the one clearly in charge. But I will agree on all the other stuff. I only grabbed one set since I'm trying not to army build too much nowadays, but if these things were around ten years ago for the deep discounts I see em at, I'd probably have a half dozen or so.

But my biggest gripe is certainly the colors. The sharp, bright colors is one of the things that makes the Viper stand out and why I liked him as a figure. Making the colors dull just makes them a bit more boring to look at.

Gonna wait for a later date to pop open the box seals but boxes are nice. Chuckles is a great image and design, and the strike team is quite hefty. Outweighs anything else ive bought by far. This is neat, the wires on the side of chuckles are raised and embossed, as are the speaker and dials on the front. Nice stuff. The strike twam has the same raised effect but it doesnt have the ssme effect, kinda looks like a grey slab instead of an attache case. Anyway, sorry for self replying with my blog.

I don't have the Steel Corps, but I tried them on the valks.
Both have larger head holes than the neck balls, so you'd need to stuff them.
America's head may be a bit small and the hole too shallow, resulting in a long neck. Her long hair doesn't allow to use the backpack.

Also tried Jessica Jones and 60th Black Widow while I was at it. Same hole size as the other heads, and Jessica's hair gets in the way of the backpack as well.

So about the second head... since it fits the smaller head joint that the last couple of waves of figures have, I was able to get it put on the head of the Crimson Guardsman who gave up his gloves to Chuckle. I stuck Chuckle's alternate head onto said Crimson Guardsman along with Chuckle's regular hands onto the Crimson Guardsman. So we have "I just got caught!" Disguise Chuckles!

He's a military police officer who serves as GI Joe's private detective for investigations.

His design is a hybrid of Magnum PI (the Hawaiian shirt) and Don Johnson (face) though in a bit of irony, when Chuckles made his only appearance in the cartoon (the 1987 movie) they had Don Johnson as a voice actor but voicing Falcon, while they made Chuckles (who in the comics and his file card is supposed to be a sweet talking cad and rake in the same vein as Shipwreck) a mute gentle giant that followed Jinx around

He's basically Shipwreck but a private detective.

He's one of those Joes with a distinct design but didn't get love in the original cartoon or comics. His main bit of lore was ironically in the IDW comics, where he ironically had a major impact on the lore: Chuckles straight up MURDERED Cobra Commander in the IDW lore after he got captured and Cobra Commander tried to convince him to turn traitor.

If it isnt an exclusive of some sort thing you should be fine, plus neither pulse nor bbts charge upfront so you should be ok holding a pre order with them if they are an option for you. Plus, the ship date could always be pushed back which would give you a possibility of more breathing room money wise.
