Review of the new Super Action Stuff "Game On" Arcade sets, some fun stuff for the Joe Rec area:

 

[Buttmunch]

Might be of tangential interest, Marvel Legends just put out a classic Baron Zemo the 1st with a hood mask not that dissimilar to Coba Commander’s hood. So the theory that Hasbro doesn’t want to release a figure with a hood seem to be proven false. Hopefully that means we’ll see a Cobra Commander with a hood mask soon.

Just wanted to share a little mod I did to Chuckles with the help of MeatHookGeekoo who had the idea. I wasn't 100% happy with the head on Chuckles, MeetHookGeeko suggested the Quasar head as a replacement which he found at Ross, I switched the neck peg with the peg from the ML Eternals Sprite neck peg and everything went together perfectly.

Looks a little like Redford which suits him fine!

My VAMP got delivered today.
I can’t wait to tear it open this weekend.

I got my Vamp today as well. This thing is simply awesome.

Well, I finally opened up my Hiss Tank for my Birthday, much larger than I expected, I think they made it a little larger than the original was proportionally in RAH. The light up function is well done but, I doubt I'll use it more than a couple of times. I hope those rubber treads will last. The biggest issue was snapping in the canopy, something this expensive should have a easier way of snapping in a hard clear (and probably more brittle) canopy than an old fashioned plastic flange pop in. It should've had a separate plastic panel you can remove from the engine compartment, slide in the canopy hinge, then replace the panel to secure the canopy in place. It would've made switching the canopies easier, once I got my gullwing version in, it will never be coming out for fear of breaking it.
Overall fantastic piece!
Now if the Vamp would just be made available again...

I agree with you on the canopy engineering, not the best. I just got the VAMP today. Well done by team at Hasbro. Feels like it should've been $85. Most impressive: tires and the winch. Least impressive: .50 cal ammo box placement.

First off, I hope you had a great birthday!

Yeah, I tried the light up features a few times and then immediately took out the batteries for fear of an acid meltdown. Likewise, I moved the treads a couple of times but it will remain in its stationary position. I opted for the gullwing canopy on mine as well and was extremely careful snapping it into position. There ain't no way I'm futzing with it anymore!

I hope you're able to score the VAMP down the road. It's an amazing piece!

 

[Joe Scorpio]

The VAMP exceeded all of my high expectations. It's what she said, but I didn't think it would be this huge! I'm ok with the price point because of the size, and knowing I'm gonna have to shell out for the VAMP Mark II and the Cobra Stinger at some point. The 1982 team is halfway complete with only 6 remaining. They've GOT to make the final 6, right?

They made Grunt... and actually made him cool. Pretty sure the others will find their way into the collection.

They will make them. Flash has been rumored. The line still has ways to go...

Also, rumored is The Thunder Machine w/Thrasher and Snow Cat w/Frostbite

They’ve just name dropped Blowtorch and Road Pig to join the Classified line.

I never had Road Pig but excited to add him to my Noks.

Blowtorch was probably my #1 Joe that hasn’t been made yet.
