    I canceled my preorder after I got the Snake Supreme version. I just didn’t care for the color combo and I figured 2 Cobra Commanders would be enough for now.

    Yeah, if I'm correct, that is designed so that the hard plastic cape can fit in there without making a weird pose.

    This is exactly the reason

    "Includes two soft silicone seat cushions. One standard and one pre-cut to fit Cobra Commanders cape and weapons.
    Space under throne seat for storage as well as room for capes and weapons hanging off figures' backs that let any figure use the throne."

    Qobuz has it too (lossless download), a little cheaper than 7digital.

    I do this weird ritual where I don't open figures immediately, instead I wait for the right time. Today was Snake Eyes and my copy is fantastic. The left ankle is a bit loose but all of the other joints are nice and tight. He and Scarlett look awesome together! His backpack really throws his balance off so I'm going to get some Marauder stands.

    That's what the new Lady Jaye is missing. It's so obvious now.

    Nice and ba-woosh! LOL

    As far as my list goes it's going to be short as follows:
    JOES: Everybody that everyone wants.
    Cobra: Storm Shadow (in which I/we know that he'll be modernized for sure, but have that look that we all know and love)
    Tomax and Xamot: no brainer
    Dr. Mindbender
    and everyone wants LOL

    So, a fun trend I've noticed at my local walmart, is that someone is putting random figures from other series into boxes and retuning them. An example from today is a cobra commander box with a red ranger and all his accessories included inside. I give points for the person for including everything in the box, but also annoyed he took a damn cobra commander....

    This is rampant behavior, more so in some places than others. There's a thread devoted to it:Worst Repack Jobs in the Wild

    Same. Fortunately my pre-order shipped and one of the ones I ordered last week, but the rest went into delayed status.

    My Storm Shadow shipped from Amazon. I'm pretty shocked.

    Hey joe Fans!
    Im not a Joe collector or expert by any means

    Any vintage Joe experts can give a rough estimate of this figure 1982 Cobra Enemy Soldier Series 1 release 1982 (Assuming straight arm)?
    Its factory sealed.
    Cant find any recent sales record but loose complete ones.
    Thanks in advance
