GI JOE 30th Anniversary

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Pretty disappointed by the new Stalker. I just don't dig the dreads.

Yep.

I saw him on the peg @ the TRU near the office. I was tempted, but then saw the dreads and quite frankly . . . STALKER does not look good with dreads.

I got the 3.75" army builder bug on right now. I got three STEEL BRIGADE figures and picked up the new VAMP MARK II with the STEEL BRIGADE DELTA figure. I'm tempted to pick up a few more STEEL BRIGADE figures with another VAMP MARK II.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

That's cool, everyone has their preferences, I like the choices, it isn't the main characters we have got many times, and if I can spend $200 on a dial tone, I sure as hell can spend $20-$25 for these figures, I am more and more excited about them, I remember Dice, that was one of my last years buying Joes as a kid, I would have preferred Slice though instead.

Oh, it has nothing to do with that and everything to do with the character.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Why does Grunt need a glider?

That aside, I don't think it's anywhere close, really. It's got more in common with the lame glider that came with the ROC Gen Hawk figure.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I like tan Grunt - MUCH better than the version Hasbro gave us (hopefully someone redoes this in green).

The glider is a bit unnecessary, but whatever.

I actually want the Tan Grunt head to swap it on my 25th Greenshirt Grunt

Is this Sub deal an active membership? or a WIP?

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

a wip, should be availble soon, they said they will show all the figures first then start it, so I wouldn't doubt within the next couple months it will be starting.

I always wondered why they had a tan GRUNT with the glider? IIRC, by the time the glider came out AIRBORNE was part of the line. I thought AIRBORNE would have been a more appropriate figure for the glider than GRUNT. After all, AIRBORNE was first introduced in GI JOE #11 (along with DOC, SNOW JOB, GUNG-HO, & an early hidden appearance by DESTRO).

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

Cause the Grunt looked kewl in a tan uniform.

Anyone going to bite the bullet and actually sign up for the subscription service?

I'm on the fence and I never joined the club before.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I am definitely getting the subscription.

I already have the membership.

Re: GI JOE 25th Anniversary

I picked up the Renegades Duke and Snakeeyes. I am pretty happy with them. I know that I saw that they are making Scarlet and Tunnel Rat. I hope that we see a Roadblock too so we can round out that team.

None of the stores in my area have got the Ren figures yet. I've been really wanting to get my hands on Cobra Commander and Firefly.

Yeah, but Airborne was being marketed as a single figure release that year.

Hasbro was just looking to include a cheap repaint with the gliders so that kids and parents would buy both the gliders and the single carded figures.

Almost definitely.
