    Just in case you're not going to stop by the forums this weekend, enjoy a cold one and have fun this Christmas!

    Snake Eyes would let his hair down too, if he had any.:eek:

    After finding some grape soda, am still looking for a good source of 1/12 chocolate covered donuts. Those listings aren't always super accurate. Can't wait for Ripper and Buzzer to show up in 2023.

    In today's world, Cobra would be equivalent to/in direct competition with Nestle. Even using a lot of the same tactics.

    Finally had the chance to tackle the pile of Joes I've had to take pictures of.

    I dunno, the angle on that bullhorn looks a little too dainty for Sarge. :D

    The way he's gripping it in the photo. He looks like he's holding a delicate flower rather than something he'd be angrily yelling through.

    Oh, a few annoyances I discovered yesterday with certain Joes as I was taking pictures:

    1. Zaranna's arms keep popping off their pegs if you apply too much pressure when moving them.

    2. The Crimson Guards sword sheaths can not lock into the holes on the belts because the holes are like a CM too big.

    3. Dusty's gun arm thingies are loose, so the gun can't really lock down onto the ground.

    My gut says they’re right around the corner since Bazooka has been sighted in stores. We’re also due for another round of new preorders IMO.

    It took a year for the previous wave from pre-order to store.

    I hope we get a pp Crimson Guard too

    Okay, I think I'll put up Zarana as my first quality-related disappointment in this line. The first one I've opened has poor skintone paint on her left upper arm, with a visible seam and faded off/rubbed off -looking skintone paint. On top of that, her hip joints look weird when standing normally, with the hipjoint visible on the outside of each hip. And then when I went to pose her left arm by bending the elbow, the arm popped off at the upper arm rotation. It has done this twice now in two attempts at posing the arm and reattaching it after each attempt. Maybe they did start to rush these out to hit end-of-year sales targets.

    But when all's said and done, she's still able to grab a healthy slice.
