GI JOE 30th Anniversary

[unsung hero]

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Actually picked up some new Joes yesterday, first time I have since the Resolute Wave a few years ago.

Picked up Cobra Commander, Blowtorch and Steel Brigade. Never had the last one when I was a kid, he came out when i was losing interest in toys an gaining interest in girls. So, I never really had much affinity for the vintage figure. But due to all the guys here making custom ones, I was excited when I found him. Not sure whether I should thank you guys or not. He is petty cool though, great sculpt and gear. Still need a Low Light, i would have picked him up had I seen him.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Steel brigade looks outstanding!


I hope they make another Flagg

Terror Drome too

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

The pursuit of Cobra line has been really difficult line to collect at retail.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I just pre-ordered all the POC stuff from BBTS, hunting it down at retail would be too frustrating for me. So much easier that way.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

taking too long for these new figures(lifeline,sci-fi,airtight) to be released

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

All the new figs look really fantastic but I was wondering why they gave Lifeline weapons?

The original figure came with a pistol.

It was the cartoon that castrated him. Lifeline didn't get away with that ____ in the comic.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

so much cool stuff. Always like Lifeline and Sci-fi.

I'll just wait for sideshow to get to them, however.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I might buy that Flagg if it's re-released.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Its not. They had a sign at SDCC saying there were no plans to rerelease it and it was only there for display. Stupid Hasbro. But heck, if they did rerelease it, they'd be stupid enough to make it as a SDCC exclusive with packaging twice as big as it needs to be

I would go to SDCC and gladly lug it around and laugh at all the sweaty fat kids crying about how heavy it is.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I think some are forgetting how big the Flaggs original packaging was

 

[spazzy]

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

It is pretty massive, I don't see it happening for awhile, if anything it will be a small production probably through HTS or something, wouldn't even fit on the shelves at target or walmart.

I didn't thtink the skystriker would be made either, but now we got 2 new versions!

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I did pick up the Starscream Skystriker which is awesome BTW. I wish I would have gotten 2 though.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Pick up the Skystriker at Target yesterday. I like how they give you different decal options like using the Original Airforce symbol or the new Gi Joe Logo. Wish it has still a 2 seater though. The new Cpt Ace looks great.

Also finally found differnt Joe other than Snow Destro, shirtless Stormshadow and Zartan. I picked up Low Light
