Joe Defender / Re: G.I. Joe Fan Vote
« on: October 10, 2015, 01:15 AM »Fuzzhead is probably least likely to win, because he's adventure team and fanboys like their butt-kicking fantasy women.
I have not read any of the fan fic.
I will throw away my vote and vote for the fuzz head guy.
But I couldn't agree more... Fan-wanks and their ninja-sniper-renegade-computer wiz-latex body suit and bullet proof bra wearing female figure will get the old ballot stuffing going.
I really think if they would relaunch the Adventure Team concept, they would have a much better chance at making the line good again, and it would make for a better chance at the movie being watchable. But that is a different thread.

The Black Series 6" Figures / Re: 6" Tauntaun and Hoth Han
« on: July 26, 2014, 11:11 PM »
This will be my favorite figure/set of all time if it gets delivered even half way like it shows in pictures.
Hoth Han is my favorite OT version of Han, and this really looks good. I also have nostalgia bias for the Blue Coat.

Love both the new deluxe sets.
I wonder if/hope clean face Luke and his Taun Taun are slated for later, since they do love reusing parts.

But what about the boots. Think those are regulation or were just part of it because he was on Hoth first? If this had been a non "remote" walking around situation say I the fleet.. Would it be boots like Solo or Capt Antilles wears?

In the interest of "research" I snagged the Luke from ebay, if it gets here soon enough, I will post some pics. I have several Bare Armed Storm Shadow figs over the last few years, I will see if I can do some side by side comparisons.
I did like the swappable heads from the OTC version though. Also should there be Peg holes in the Handstand Hands?

I ordered my set, I'm more disappointed that the classic deco Flint is not available.
This is most likely the last of the retail Joes for the foreseeable future.
The mood at the Joe Con was pretty low with Hasbro completely skipping the show.
The saddest part was the 12 in collectors and RAH era collectors basically looking at the 25th/ME guys and saying... "Yup, welcome to the club"...

I agree with JJ on this one, I give them props for the attempt, although the GI JOE Ninja style Articulation isn't my favorite either. The OTC one was just such a little statue. It is interesting that we have swappable hands in this scale though.
I'm trying to tell from the Thor picture Scott posted but I have to squint through that Watermark, so it makes it difficult.

The Black Series 3.75" / Re: Black Series Rumors
« on: May 28, 2014, 04:23 PM »
Ok so using the Formula that Hasbro often employs (and basically mimicking the Endor Set) we can expect:
Vechicle/Large Piece
8 re-packed Figures or so.
For Jabba's Rancor that seems easy enough
Vehicle = Rancor
8 figures could be anybody but my thought/(wish):
Jedi Luke from the Saber building scene
C-3P0
Lando Skiff Disguise
Slave Leia
Gammorean Guard
Boba Fett
Bib Fortuna (if the mold still exists)
Rancor Keeper
For the Cantina SHOWDOWN, I am scratching my head what the Vehicle/Large Piece would be....
My thought:
Landspeeder?
8 Sandtroopers (cuz somebody at the Big-H loves Sandtroopers, the figures)

Kinda what I thought too but it is sterile with no rank or unit designation and with ESB still having a Military Advisor on set, I did not know.
So technically Wedge and the boys would be wearing these as they walked around Home One etc....
Assuming Wedge survives the EU purge.

The Original Trilogy / Luke's Bespin "Fatigues"
« on: May 25, 2014, 08:02 AM »
Ok, I finally introduced my 5 year old son to Empire Strikes Back this morning.
It brought to mind a good question that I could not find an answer for on the first page of google...
Is Luke's Bespin Outfit a Rebel Uniform of some sort or it is just "Military Inspired".
Basically is this a Standard Alliance uniform and there are other officers/members (aka Wedge) out there somewhere in the fleet hanging out in this get up?

I'm going for sure.
I've got dinner plans with some different companies that are getting into the collector 3 3/4 figure market.

First up looks like a Greek Warrior (think more Achilles than 300)
These are the former Hasbro guys that did a bunch of Joe, Marvel universe and Star Wars figures that many of us have in our collections.
