    At first I was thinking of the Swamp Skier like a vehicle, like Mandora's Electro-Charger.

    Then I remembered how small it is and that it has next-to-no moving parts, meaning it SHOULD be easy to do as a standalone accessory in the style of Zedd's or Monstarr's throne. Which, if memory serves, were $45 and "fifth wave slot" releases?

    That's actually not bad if they go that route and I honestly see people picking that kind of thing up for their Classified figures.

    Heck, Nonnef is on the verge of selling an unofficial one for... I think $35?

    I really just want those white swords/scabbards, and white arrows. (I love white weapons for Storm Shadow)

    I just got an email from Amazon saying Covergirl is going to arrive tomorrow. At the same time, I got one telling me Pulse would be shipping her soon, so I immediately had to go there and cancel it before it was too late.

    I had a feeling it was going to be soon when Outback went from preorder to only 3P seller options.

    Honestly, A. is more like a person with a severe narcissist disorder. Say one thing, do another. Gaslighting. All of it. It's not a good place to work. In fact, just saying this on a public forum will probably get a person fired.

    Yup, got the same emails for the entire wave. Been sitting on some head sculpts for Falcon and Cover Girl so I'm looking forward to trying them out.

    Thanks to Rich Helscher, the Sunbow Marvel Archive now presents the first script from the original series to be made public since the GI Joe The Movie script was released on Shout Factory's DVD in 2010. The season 2 episode My Favorite Things.

    Written by Doug Booth and edited by Buzz Dixon, this episode delves into Serpentor's quest to acquire artifacts once owned by the tyrants and conquerors whose DNA was used to create the Cobra Emperor. Once he has gained possession, the memories and powers of his genetic forebears are at his command. Meanwhile, the incessant inter-service bickering between US Marine Leatherneck and Navy Seal Wet-suit comes to a head. As the pair's glory-hogging results in Leatherneck being gravely wounded.

    Clocking in at 59 pages - including 3 pages of model and location notes, plus an estimated 7 minutes of deleted scenes - the script can be read at:
    The Sunbow Marvel Archive: MP 600 G.I Joe: A Real American Hero Part 2 1986 - 1992 (Sunbow Productions/Marvel Productions) part 2

    Go there at once, THIS I COMMAND!

    Not so solid, Duke Ram was opened and the weapons are missing. They had 3 on the shelf so I have to head back there and swap him out.

    That sucks! Good thing you didn't wait to inspect it! Hope everything works out with the swap.

    Still a great price, though. Not bad on the Officer, either. If anyone happens to see an extra clearance Duke and RAM and doesn't mind shipping to Canada I'm up for it!

    I just canceled my preorders for Outback and Falcon, so I'm glad I didn't wait.

    I opened mine before leaving the store. Thankfully nothing was missing.
