    You're right with Road Pig in the 4 inch line...he was roughly the same size or just abit taller (most likely the latter. If he's going to be 8 inches talll...I'm going to give him a pass.

    Yeah, its even harder for an international fan like me. I think once I get Zartan and the 6-10 Cobra Troopers (most likely there will be stock-cuts). I'm done with Classified.

    Awww...she's so cute! And, those elbow joints on her look fairly substantial (compared to most girl figures, anyway)...how well do they move?

    I have heard some people have seen problems with the lady Jay joints? I am not so sure this new painless technology is better as in the legends line I have seen and heard of quite a few that have been frozen.

    Had to wait till she got room temp as I didn't want to take a chance at breaking her elbow. After that she has excellent range to the point that her hand can touch her shoulder when the elbow is fully flexed. My recommendation during posing is to move the upper portion of the elbow joint as it is more rigid compared to the lower portion.

    Classified collection is almost complete:

    Heat with hair dryer, pull off carefully and pop back on. Zartan head, torso, arms, hands and boots. Red Ninja armor, skirt and legs. The inner hip piece is Zartan's, but the outer flexible hip piece is from the Red Ninja.

    Was up in Nashville for a con and stopped by the Brentwood Target and found a whole case of the Zartan wave. Grabbed the 2 more Cobra guys.

    Well the first time in forever to see joes at walmart. I left them as I have the originals. I was thinking on the scarlet but decided against it for now.

    Went to three different Walmarts today and not a single hide nor hair of Joes. Only one of them even had any Marvel Legends which included Frogman, a Walgreens Doctor Doom in the Fantastic Four Dr Doom packaging, Jacosta, and the new Professor X.

    Is the variant Duke online only? Haven't found him in store. Only Scarlett and Roadblock. Got those.

    I think Target and WM are only getting those two. I got to walmart this morning right at reset and there were two of each. No one had grabbed any. Ive only seen troopers at Walgreens.
