    I hate MP Transformers and own very few, Jazz bcuz I own most iterations of Jazz, and a bunch I thought were cool now sit in a shrunk somewhere in the house, I quickly realized CHUG was my go to and have stopped even going on the 3rd party side of this Firum bcuz it's 74% MP & 24% Legends, nothing is no longer being made for me so I stopped collecting them, I'm happy with what I got but there are a few pieces that I wish had made it thru to the Great 3rd Party CHUG Era

    I really hate that stupid visor, I think bcuz my first 2 outings when it came to SE was the V3 and V4 and are my sweet slots when it come to him, probably why I've been switching the heads of all my SE Classifieds to none knight visors

    I know who's mind won't change, though I may be tempted to grab Stalker and Roadblock

    Personally, I think they look great! I preordered Snake Eyes and the B.A.T. from BBTS. Tempted to buy all four, but I think I’m probably already over budget on my toy spending, this year. The only bad part now will be the wait for the figures.

    I just want to say that it's nice to FINALLY get a Duke figure that has a decent face that resembles the cartoon. For some reason Hasbro just can't get that right.

    Wha???

    In one of the TRUs in the Ottawa area no less @Destructimis Prime. I'm going to poke around the TRUs in the GVRD in a few days and hopefully that I can at least get a copy if it goes well. Stocks here in the GVRD TRUs is a crap shoot.

    Hasbro did it 16 years ago. They just haven't tried to do it again since.

    Weren’t we expecting a new Cyborg size reveal, based on the green folder tease? The Cyborg BAT is old(er) news, right? That’s been out for a while, yes?

    Beyond words, but I always thought Duke and Scarlett was a couple til the comics changed the lore, then there was the 3way issue in the cartoon movie.....

    If I get any of the GIJOE Super7 Ultimates it would be Duke & Cobra Commander to display with my MP-44 Optimus Prime & MP-36 Megatron and Super7 Ultimates He-Man & Skeletor. That would compete the 80’s cartoon look toys with modern engineering display of main heroes and villains I would be going for.

    I would say this one still look better. Not saying all heads Hasbro made were bad, but even the 25th ANN was WAY off.

    Nah. The comic launched in June of '82 and the toon's first mini-series launched in September of '83. Pretty sure the comic established SE/Scarlett as a thing before the toon started the whole Duke/Scarlett stuff. I always felt like SE got sidelined in the toon a lot because the writers weren't sure how to deal with him being mute or something. I've heard people speculate about that anyways. No idea if it's actually true or not.

    Glad for all the variety available to us today, particularly for those of you Joe collectors that struggled through the lean years when nothing was on the shelf and the product line was an after thought.

    The ReAction figures don’t do it for me for the Joes. To me, it does feel regressive to go back to less articulation than the original figs. THAT SAID, whooo boy if they ever “upsize” the originals, I think some ReAction M.A.S.K. would be amazing.

    To be fair, they haven't necessarily been trying to. Not sure I'd count that old 3 3/4 one.

    If anyone needs Classified Firefly he's showing up as available for shipping and I was able to add him to cart (I've already got one, just wanted to check that it wasn't a glitch before posting here). G.I. Joe Classified Series Special Missions: Cobra Island Firefly Last I saw some people were still looking for him so grab him while he's available!

    I would have expected them to try with the 25th ANN line. I never liked that face sculpt.

    The guys in Canada. He has one in regular paint and color changing paint was well. They are a bit pricey.

    He even did a color change version..that's awesome. Do you by chance have a link where I could look him up? Zartan is my favorite character so I'm interested. My brother has been trying to print one but he's been having some trouble with his print that he's trying to figure out.
