G.I. Joe Toys Thread

Hasbro also said that w5 *might* show up at retail, but I wouldn't count on that as clearance season is upon us.  I have my preorder up at BBTS even though it's going to leave me with an extra Skyhawk.

Some interesting photos we got in the latest "Scoop" type stuff... all the ones we have seen, and then this one..

It has the HM prototype mark on it, but is that a NATO blue beret?





I will have to go cruise the other sites to see if they have intel on it.

Jesse, I didn't watermark it before I hosted it, if you get a chance throw one on it..

[Jesse James]

That's some interesting stuff...  Who's the character?  Not wild on "NATO" beret though.    Yeah I'm bitchy about the "international" aspect of the whole movie line, haha.

SDCC Destro pics

[Jesse James]

I actually woulnd't mind that Destro Figure...  Paul, if you manage to nab any of those somehow, LMK.  I think my brother will want one, and I don't know but think I might dig one too.

[Paul]

Looks like to this point, I need...

4 for me (I am going to make an Army of Suited figures and Scottish Knights)

4 for folks from the store

2 more for you and Cole...

1 for Ryan maybe

And I'm not even going to SDCC personally...  Any idea how many they will sell to a person at one time?

[Jesse James]

If you can't Paul, it's ok...  Or if you can only get one, I think my brother will want one and that's more important.

If you happen to get an extra, consider me.  You can keep the scottish dude too, I just want Destro.

[Paul]

Ok here is the latest haul from HK...

JJ or someother more skilled body..watermark them before they get "claimed"...


This is the INSIDE of Desert Ambush Duke's Backpack, it holds his Green Smoke Cigarette thing.





The green thing is above his shoulder


Helmet with Flip Up/Down Night Vision



Comparison to O-Face Duke and SRO Hawk



ICE VIPER


Unpainted Eyes (yes Alyosha was right)


Helmet


The VEST


Without the Vest it is the same as all the Viper/Mars Troopers

I'm actually surprised at how much that Duke figure looks like Channing Tatum.  Not a bad job on Hasbro's part.  And that figure you have pictured isn't so far out there as to not make a good Joe figure.  It's not like the accelerator suit version that will be on its way.

The Ice Viper is a good looking figure as well.

And it looks like Hasbro is doing a decent job on the accessories. 

   E...

My buddy Kevin hooked me up with a Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes.  I'll get Alyosha to do a real review when it gets here.

I don't collect the GI Joe line, but I did notice that a local Ross Store had some GI Joe figures for sale today.  They had some TRU Battle Packs (Firefly & Crimson Guard?) and DVD Battles sets for $12.99.  They also had a few of the TRU 3 figure packs for $7.99.  Just wanted to pass this information along if anyone was interested and had Ross's around them.

[Jesse James]

Thanks KM.  I'm gonna go look tonight for stuff for my brother...  Cheap Ross stuff is always fun. 

[Paul]

you mean you are going to go look for your Brother and your buddy Paul.... The Texas Ross stores are empty of the good stuff right now.

[King_Maul]

No prob Jesse.  If you guys need any help getting these at Ross, I can grab what's available the next time I swing by.  Just let me know.   

[Jesse James]

K, so I got some 3-packs and they had a BUTTLOAD of DVD sets...  Paul, I can pick you up more of those Friday if you want DVD sets?  They had a lot of the one witht he vine attacking Roadblock, and a lot of the one with the little cart and computer console (which coincidentally, I'd love a lot more of those little carts and consoles, hehe).

Paul, let me know what the deal is...  I got the 3-packs for my brother...  This isn't the only Ross store in Pitt by a longshot though either.  I can probably hit at least 2 to 5 more in the next week.

I need to know what you want exactly, I guess.   PM me, and let's see how many conversations we can get confused!
