For both Shipwreck and Serpentor I’d rather see them use a design based on the Devil’s Due version’s of them.
My short list is a real short list: Flint, Lady Jaye, Shipwreck... I'd probably pick up a few more like Cover Girl and Metalhead on impulse but I really only had about a dozen or so from 25th.
My list for most wanted joes: Everything from 82' - 90', anything afterwards would be on a case by case basis.
Thanks for the inspiration. I decided to go ahead and pick up CI Roadblock from Target today, and while I'll eventually replace his railgun/cattle-prod, I did get the red lighting from the Lord Zedd figure on his gun for now, and it looks good that way. Only complaint about CI RB is the lack of accessories/hands/etc..
You know... I just realized that Beach Head isn't even listed on here: G.I. JOE Characters, Action Figures, Action Heroes List - G.I. JOE Hasbro Just found that interesting since a lot of people were speculating that this was some sort of "sneak peek" at what characters Hasbro intended to do next.
They do have a “coming soon” placeholder on the roster on those pages, maybe Beachhead is planned for a repaint in the mainline later on. It’s possible that all the characters listed on the site currently, will be getting a mainline release.
Scored a Cobra Island Roadblock yesterday. I was on the fence about getting either version of Block, but a $10 Target gift card and seeing him in person swayed my decision. The store I found him at had 3 on the pegs and he scanned without any trouble at all at self-checkout. "Who wants a body massage?"
Hahahaha! I look at this like my TF collection where I focus on 1984 & 1986, for Joe, I really just want 1983-1985.
I’ve been waiting for a new Backstop since Joe was brought back in 2000. Convention exclusives don’t count.
Really well done figure again, I love the color choices and the head sculpt is great as well. Duke and Destro for Thur and Fri, hopefully I'll have my trooper by Saturday.
Shit. I guess my Target can sell them. Troopers went down to 2. Too bad its only olds shopping before I gotta work. Guess ill have to just sneak to Target. Id like to wait for a more classic Beach.
I'm debating whether I want to wake up early on Saturday to be at Target when the doors open. Knowing my luck there won't be anything. I secured my pre-order for the Baroness, but I do want Beachhead and a couple of Cobra Troopers.
