No arguments on those points! And, I suspect the best is yet to come in this line, so, you’ll have plenty of opportunity to pick up some great figures at retail prices as your finances allow.
Oh my god, Resolute is hands down the best GI Joe thing that isn't the original comic run ever! They finally did Cobra Commander right. My only nitpick is Steve Blum voices like half of the cast.
I'm still tempted to buy some of the discounted female figures to parts swap. Lady Jaye arms on movie scarlet torso with wave 1 scarlet legs with Emma frost or invisible woman head may make a good bombstrike figure. And I'm wanting to get more roadblocks, and gung-ho and swap parts. Lol wondering if anyone put Gung hos arms neck and head or even thunserstrikes head on cobra Island Roadblock. I've seen vests swapped. And looks good.
Took a pic of my current Joes just for posterity sake. Dusting is not one of my spiritual gifts so please excuse my dust. We are painting and reflooring 4 bedrooms in our house, so that means I'm moving my collection to a different room. Not to the big room which is my end game, but to one of equal size, just on a different floor. This'll be my 3rd room move in the past 15 or so years, it's a pain but it's also kind of exciting as well.
G.I. Joe 9.5-Inch-Scale Action Figure Assortment The new line looks like a scaled down version of what is already out. I havent bought any but have seen them in person. They have shoulder and i believe head movement only.
Is the current display room carpeted? I’ve noticed that removing the carpet seems to really cut down on dust generation. We pulled up almost all of the carpet in our house a couple years ago and put down laminate. If the new flooring going down is some kind of hard flooring, this might be the last time you need to dust in a long time.
Watching Fwooh's review of Spirit, et al and I can finally say I frickin' love where this line is at now! No wonky knee pads or gold colored GoPro or space guns. Just classic looking goodness. Keep 'em coming Hasbro!
My first thought would be the ones that come with the masterpiece Optimus Primes. My second thought would be thingiverse. My third thought would be Etsy if you don't have access to a 3d printer.
Picked up Mark2Design's 1/12 Megatron at JoeFest. His Etsy shop is currently closed while he's moving.
To be the man, you gotta beat the man, WOOOOOOOOO! Most kids my age grew up idolizing Joe Montana or Larry Bird, 'Naitch was my guy. My current room has engineered laminate (fake hardwood), my new room will have the same stuff. I guess I just have a dusty, dirty family ala Pig-Pen from Charlie Brown. I have some from a few KO MP Seekers that I own. They're pretty nice, a bit big scale-wise but nice because they're diecast. I'll send you a pic before I box them up for the big move.
Does look pretty good. Only thing I don't really like is the thickness of the handle, if that makes sense
It's weird looking at that knowing we'll probably never see a new official version of Hooded Cobra Commander ever again.
