I was hoping for a Marvel Legends Doctor Doom in brighter green like the Secret Wars Mattel figure. I guess I'll order the FF Retro version if I can pre-order it. Should have included some hand energy blast effect like on the white box art.

Can't wait to see what's revealed on 9/25-26.

I think Amazon has Destro back up for order. Seems no one wants Target exclusive Kimbo/Roadblock.

I'm not really a venom or groot fan, but that looks kawaii/kawai (cute/scary).

I thought kowai is scary.

I was just thinking Bandai should make Dragon Stars scale figures of Chibi Vegeta with armor and cape, toddler Piccolo shortly after hatching from Piccolo Daimao's egg, other little kid versions of characters, but those two especially.

Target has these I forget what they're called, but sort of super deformed Funko Pop competitors of Japanese characters including First Form Frieza.

For only the second time in person, saw G.I. Joe Classified in stores: multiple copies of both versions of Roadblock. Passed.

In three Walgreens, didn't see any Silver Centurion Iron Man, but did see old Mockingbird and Wasp leftover junk... maybe Beetle too. (Didn't see any Moon Knight either)

Was shocked to find one Hot Wheels white and black Nissan 300ZX Japanese police car. I also already had the white old Nissan Skyline 2000GT Japanese police car, so looking forward to adding more Japanese police cars.

Two very good female face head sculpts. Whoever did those should get credit on the box. Scarlett on Baroness is good. Baroness head seems too big on Scarlett.

Joes had probably the worse female face sculpts from every toy line beside Toy Biz legends, the scale probably didnt help.

In general Hasbro has upped their female looks game with Legends and Black Series. These ones look even better than legends as each one has different faces and personality while most legends seem to have a similar look.

I'm thinking Cobra Trooper could make a decent PS1 Metal Gear Solid Snake. I'm also getting an itch to make a custom MGS V Venom Snake.... somehow.

New Armored lost predator coming out sep 22.
The head paint looks great, will consider getting if I see in stores and I got some spare cash by then.

 

[GSP_37]

I think Full Force podcast said new GI Joe will be available to premium Hasbro Pulse members 9/23 and general public 9/24. If it's just fancier Cobra Commander, pass.

Saw Walmart had the Jada 6 pack GI Joe board game pieces set with Storm Shadow, Snake Eyes, etc. Passed.

Also at Walmart, saw a too tall Khabib and a DC figure.

Don't want to upload them all, but I bought a shit ton of SW minifigures for my kid...Malek, Malgus, Nihilus, Revan (sensing a theme here?). I bought some other figures from the shows, so I had to even it Jedi v. Sith.

Lego minifigures or 3.75"?

They recently announced pre-orders for 5POA 5 packs and one was Jedi and one was Sith.

Locked in! Thanks for the heads up!

It was still there when I PM'd the link, but gone fast! I suspect they'll trickle in some more for pre-order at random times, random days. They did that with 1st appearance Mando, Snake Eyes.

Ah, should have clarified. LEGO mf's. We had some kind of LEGO/Brick Convention come through here in January, and I didn't realize how into SW LEGO's he was. But with all this distance learning bullshit, I've found that a minifig a week is a good carrot/stick thing with school.

Full Force News Burst youtube has a pic of G.I. Joe Retro Wave 2: v1 style Roadblock, v1 style Scarlett, Destro.

Never did find Retro Wave 1 in Walmart stores. Pre-order of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow yet to ship.

 

[GSP_37]

Dug out old GI Joes of v2 Roadblock, Falcon, Ice Viper w/snow vehicle, Lowlight, Big Boa, along with v1 Storm Shadow dug up earlier. Hips are really loose like Pinocchio puppets. Will try to replace the o-rings especially if I can find better silicone ones. I saw a TV show where in Japan, this company made super thin rubberbands that stretch really far and don't break and they used silicone rubber.

While researching o-ring size, I saw people post the screws rust and the heads might break off.

I got this the other day at target.

That looks like the Arkham one! Good grab!
