    Got Zarana waiting at the hizzy and Best Buy got my Last Ronin, also got the Pulp Fiction steelbook in today. Now...the cherry on top will be if I check Target and they just happen to have Hudson (Gargoyles). Cross your fingers true believers.

    Great playset, but I have no idea where I’m going to put it. I was at a comic book store yesterday, and saw it there for $85. It was way more complete than the bare bones one that I remember finding at a garage sale as a kid. Couldn’t resist getting it as that one from childhood is long gone. Now I just have to figure out a place to set it up!

    Her eyes are fine, it's just the glare of my desklamp.

    Also got another shipment today!

    Anyone else have a Dusty with a really loose helmet?
    Great figure and accessories, but the Helmet needs work.

    I just got mine today and noticed that at first when I put it on. However, I've found that you have to make sure you're pushing it down on the head completely since it's made of softer plastic. Like, initially it felt like it was on all the way but it actually wasn't because I didn't push it down onto the head fully. So try that of it doesn't feel like it's sitting solidly.

    Man...I just really feel disappointed that Dusty's helmet doesn't have the cloth cover each time I see images of the new figure. I know it's just a silly piece of cloth, but it made the vintage figure stand out from the other Joes somehow.

    And seeing so many people getting the wave with Zarana and Crimson Guards...I hope the online stores will all get them in abundance soon since it seems Stalker and the Crimson Twins are pretty easily available now.

    One another note, 2 of my 5 Sieges arrived today. Simply put, they are pretty much perfect. The 25th 3.75" version was good, the 6" is that only better....

    Gridiron has a Dusty loadout... you just have to buy the whole kit to get the helmet with cloth.

    Zarana is excellent, easily the coolest female Joe figure so far, very unique.

    I got my Zarana tonight, too. I wish they had used the Dreadnok background in the package... I wanted a smaller one to use in photos.

    I was thinking the same about Dusty. It’s funny that the OG had cloth, which was so rare back then but the new one doesn’t have cloth when it has become much more common. :lolol

    One of mine did that.

    I heard Chosen Prime's shipment is about two weeks out, which is either a long time if you have none and really want them asap, or not too bad if you're patient. :D

    My Amazon Zarana got pushed back a few days just now, too. Ah well, no rush.

    I cancelled my BBTS pre-orders for CGs since, having gotten their first run early, the remaining pre-orders seem to be for some future shipment that might not be for a few more weeks. Amazon's should arrive sooner, and TCP's reportedly got some arriving in a couple weeks.

    I need Pulp Fiction in 4K, but I want the regular version as opposed to the steelbook one. Not a fan of steelbooks.
