Add me to the list! It was nice getting it just a couple hours after watching the video! Mine is staying grounded until I figure out the where and how of it being displayed. Trying to rework a little more of my office, but I'm not sure if IKEA has discontinued the Detolf in Canada for good this time. Have to wait and see...
Scarlett's hair looks more brown than red in the pics and videos I've seen. Or, are my eyes playing tricks?
Considering I’ll never be able to own the Retro release I’m okay with this Gung Ho. Sure it doesn’t scream Gung Ho at first glance but it was never a bad figure. Or maybe thats the five stages of grief playing tricks on me. Also never thought I’d be jealous of an action figure’s mustache.
Personally, I think the Valaverse gear pack on the 1st release Gung Ho is an ideal middle ground between the 1st release and the retro one
Walmart here only sells Lady Jaye. He is not worth 45 on their site and Pulse is sold out. Meh was never a fan of Valaverse.
Definitely excited for the Joe troop builder, I hope it includes classified takes on the Greenshirt and Steel Brigade. I'm not sure I'm crazy about adding a pilot or sailor to the Joe ranks without them having character or toy roots like the aforementioned two would. Of course, I will reserve judgment until I see them. ^This.... Helix is a big yawn, not much interest at all, I'll get her but not sure what to do with her? Maybe Classified will do an ROC line, HA! One of the best ROC figures released, I would have to check my bins, but I think I have 3 of them. Exact same, awesome haslab release and glad for all those who backed it. Based on space I had to pass and I am completely happy with my 25th version anyway. Side note: 3 PP Troopers arrived from Target. It's a bad pic but they are cool looking troopers.
If Hasbro had used the faded denim blue that Valaverse used, on the retro, the retro would be perfect.
So I got the Skystriker and everything is great with the actual toy, but I’m kinda bummed about the stickers. They only give us 3 Skystriker tail fin symbols, so you have to automatically choose 1 color tail fin or the other. I want to go with black, but they didn’t give us the white star inner tail fin sticker like on the box. They only gave us the black ones like the original toy. It would have been awesome if we would have gotten 4 Skystriker symbols and then both white and black inner tail fin symbols. That way we could sticker both up and swap out as we see fit.
The neon teal is what sold me personally. I love it when you have these very detailed Classified figures in day-glo toy colors. I'm pretty sure Python Patrol Crimson Guard may be my favorite figure in this line.
I feel like Chuckles should be behind the wheel of the taxi. For some reason that feels “on-brand” for him.
Totally fair, I like it simply because the Classified one doesn't really look enough like Gung Ho to me but the Retro one course corrects too hard for me and just looks silly with the baby blue vest and pants. For me, the Valaverse gear pack is a good middle ground Same, but I still wouldn't really care for the blue vest as well as blue pants
I saw that many in a different store BUT I hadn't opened mine yet and wasn't aware that the knee was a problem on this one. Didn't even look at his knees...
Finally started moving things around! MAN! when they were on the higher shelf, it looked like I had alot more figures... Guess I need to buy more to fill all those empty spots... darn.
I feel the same way. I don't know if it's because of nostalgia or because I'm an artist, but I am very picky about colors. I want the colors to match the source material EXACTLY. I hate how so many toy lines have gone the Batman route and made eveything dark and drab.
